NO
What do you need to do if you want to remove the COVID-19 vaccine from yourself, for whatever reason?
Dr. William Schaffner, a professor of preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, says nothing, because it disintegrates from your body naturally "within 24 to 48 hours."
A doctor of osteopathy in Georgia has a different recipe: a special detox bath containing borax, baking soda, "Indian healing clay" and Epsom salt.
Schaffner commented that the suggested detox is, "totally bogus ... silly, beyond absurd, [with] no scientific basis."
The osteopath is now trying to distance herself from it.
On the positive side, the professor calls it "useless, but not harmful."
This fact brief is responsive to conversations such as this one.
