Semi-prominent anti-vaccine doctor Sherri Tenpenny now testifying in favor of a bill to prohibit any Ohio business/school from mandating vaccines

Tenpenny breathlessly dismisses concern re: COVID-19 as "living in fear" while insisting alleged deaths from vaccines are major issue

Tenpenny began by saying she's spent up to 10,000 hours researching vaccines since the pandemic began

There's only been around 11,000 total hours since the Ohio state of emergency was declared, so that'd be 22 hours per day.

Just to give you a sense of her accuracy chops

Here's a clip to demonstrate the cognitive dissonance here

Again, she spent the early part of her testimony dismissing COVID-19 concerns as living in fear -- somewhere around 600,000 Americans have died from it

But raises mega alarm at the (untrue) claim of 5,000 vaccine deaths

Testimony going off the rails now.

Tenpenny is claiming there is metal in the vaccine that causes forks to stick to your forehead. She saw videos of it on the internet, you see

Also promoting the 5G cell phone network vaccine theory. This is the anti-vaccine "expert witness"

Question: How many people in Ohio have been killed because of the vaccine?

Tenpenny: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Encourage you to follow @OhioCapJournal coverage on this from @jake_zuckerman, who's followed the anti-vax movement in Ohio closer than anyone over the past year

This was his latest story on the proposed legislation at hand from this hearing. More soon
