The video, which has gone viral on social media, claims that after Covid-19 vaccination, electric current is generated in the hand on which you get vaccinated.

CLAIM:

A man in a viral video could be seen lighting a bulb as soon as he places it on his arm. He claims that COVID vaccines contain metals or microchips causing magnets to attach to the arms of vaccinated people, and even produce electricity.
