Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- A member of the headquarters for the fight against coronavirus Nurmat Otabekov commented on a video about the process of removing a piece of metal from a human deltoid muscle.

A video circulated on social media stating that the metal is the result of vaccinations.

Nurmat Otabekov denied this. He noted that mercury is the only liquid metal. Iron cannot be absorbed into the body in a diluted form. Only at very high temperatures does iron become liquid, he noted.

He also sais that the tip of the syringe needle must be very thick in order for the iron to be delivered to the body. Nurmat Otabekov said that it is wrong to link this situation with a vaccine.
