It's been almost a year since Covid came into existence and claimed millions of lives all over the world, wreaking havoc. Finally, 2021 came as a ray of hope, as we were introduced to vaccines to fight the virus.

In what can be called a truly 'magical' development, recently, Maharashtra's Mathurabai Bidve experienced something out of the ordinary.  

For many, this incident might sound like a Bollywood drama but turns out, the 70-year-old woman got her eyesight back after taking the Covishield vaccine. 

In many parts of India, people are still hesitant to take the dose and often turn their backs. But the people who are vaccinated are certainly seeing positive results of the vaccine.

Amid the vaccine drive, a lot of bizarre incidents have come up time and again. 

For example, Bidve, a resident of  Washim district, claims that she lost her eyesight to cataracts nine years ago. This made her iris turn white, and the woman lost her vision completely. However, after she took the Covid vaccine, she felt better and mentioned that she has partially regained her eyesight by 30 to 40 per cent.

She took the first dose of Covishield on June 26th, and the very next day, she started seeing better. However, there is no scientific backing to this claim yet.

Now, that's unbelievable yet miraculous at the same time.

Back in June, in another bizarre event, a man named Arvind Sonar, 71, from Maharashtra said he achieved magnetic powers after taking both doses of Covishield. 

In fact, he also made a video, which went viral, wherein he demonstrated how metal sticks to your body. 

A similar incident was reported in Surat as well, where two family members claimed that they had become magnetic after taking the vaccine. 

In a video later, it was said that magnetism was a part of the vaccine to let the RNA move in the body.

Several posts/videos claiming that #COVID19 #vaccines can make people magnetic are doing the rounds on social media. #PIBFactCheck:

✅COVID-19 vaccines do NOT make people magnetic and are completely SAFE

However,  the Press Information Bureau's (PIB) later clarified that all these claims are fake and 'baseless'. The PIB also added that the vaccine couldn't make anyone magnetic, and that the dose is safe.
