  • Fact Check: Water Is NOT Most Powerful Blood Thinner -- It's NOT A 'Blood Thinner' At All

    Fact Check

    Is water the most powerful blood thinner? No, that's not true: While staying hydrated is important for overall health and can help maintain proper blood viscosity, water does not have the same effect as medications specifically designed to "thin the blood."

    Fact Check

    Does a government health poster list "heart attacks," "strokes" and "sudden death" as side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine, as shown in an Instagram post? No, that's not true: It is counterfeit.
