    Fact Check

    Did the Henry Ford Health system withhold from publication a study that compared the health of vaccinated and unvaccinated children, despite that study being statistically sound?

    Fact Check

    Was the W.H.O. chief scientist caught lying to the public about the robustness of the organization's vaccine safety systems? No, that's a misleading claim being shared via anti-vaccine groups.
