Anti-vaccineists have shared a new trend that reports of the new trend of "reversing" the COVID-19 vaccine by bathing in a cocktail of household cleaning chemicals are circulating. This statement is completely wrong-once you get the vaccine, you cannot "revoke" its effect. In addition, even the original video about the "detox bath" seems to be taken out of context for misleading TikTokkers.

In a now-deleted video, which is still circulating on other platforms, Tiktokkers have been using a short segment of Dr. Carrie Madej's speech on the so-called "detox bath". In the recorded speech, Madej said: "One or two cups of baking soda, one or two Epsom salt codes-this is already an excellent radiation detox!" 

"You added a bit of bentonite... you added a cup of borax-you know, washing powder-it would make you lose nanotechnology," she added.

"You scrub, scrub for 20 minutes. It's hot enough that you can bear it, right?"

First of all, nothing can get you rid of radiation poisoning, nanotechnology (Madej seems to believe that vaccines include "liquefied computing systems", a technology that does not currently exist), yeast, pesticides, heavy metals, or whatever Madej says, especially in Bathe in a cleanser that can kill cockroaches. Toxins can indeed be absorbed through the skin, but cannot be removed through the skin. 

But what does this have to do with the COVID-19 vaccine?  

The shared video clip does not seem to mention the COVID-19 vaccine. Madej wrote on Instagram that the video is not talking about the current vaccine. She said: "For the record, I never told anyone that we detox the current vaccine. MSM lied again." 

However, the title of this video-not published, shared or endorsed by Madej-is "Detox Vaccine", apparently to cater to people who are reluctant to receive the vaccine under mandatory requirements and other public health rules.

It is also worth noting that Madej has a rich record of disseminating misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine, including false claims that the mRNA vaccine will change the recipient’s DNA. She also claimed that she checked the contents of the Moderna vaccine vial with a microscope and saw a tiny moving creature with tentacles, which seemed to be "self-aware." If this was true, it would be a bigger news.

The idea of ​​using "detox" therapy to treat vaccines (or health, when we are here) is not new, although there is no evidence to support it and there is a lot of evidence against the announced results. Long before COVID-19, anti-vaccineists have provided a series of home detoxification therapies and "snake oil" products for sale, purportedly designed to "remove toxins from the body", including "children's immune detox homeopathy drops" and "snake oil" products for sale. Vaccine” detox oral spray. " 

But back to the borax bath. In addition to being irritating to the skin, irritating to the eyes, and recognized as harmful to health by the National Library of Medicine, this of course will not have any impact on the effectiveness of the vaccine-you shouldn't want it either. 

"Once you are injected, the life-saving vaccination process has already begun. You have to ring the bell. It is physically impossible," said Angelala, a virologist and adjunct professor at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada. Smusson told NBC News.
