  • Fact Check: Subsection of UK Report, On Vaccinated COVID Victims Does NOT Prove Vaccines Ineffective

    Fact Check

    Are vaccines proven ineffective by a U.K. report published in February 2023, which found that 92 percent of "deaths involving COVID-19" occurred in fully vaccinated individuals? No, that's not true: Implying causality from a limited set of data leaves out consequential variables such as the ages of the dead, other underlying diseases, and whether booster recommendations had been followed. While…

  • Fact Check: WHO Director-General Did NOT Say Countries Are Giving COVID-19 Booster Shots To Kill Children

    Fact Check

    Did the director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO) Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus say that countries are administering COVID-19 booster shots to "kill children"? No, that's not true: A WHO spokesperson told Lead Stories that Ghebreyesus' remarks at a press briefing were just a slip of the tongue and that he correctly pronounced what he was trying to say right after…

  • Fact Check: Misleading Statistic Says Vaccinated Make Up Four In Five COVID-19 Deaths In England

    Fact Check

    Does the claim that the vaccinated account for four in every five COVID-19 deaths in England tell the complete story? No, that's not true: It is misleading because it fails to consider the context of very high vaccine coverage in the population. The claim pulls numbers from a recent U.K. Health Security Agency (UKHSA) report, but does not include the…

  • Fact Check: Claim That 80% Of COVID-19 Deaths Occurred Within The Vaccinated Population In Scotland Is Misleading

    Fact Check

    Does an article that makes the claim that 80% of COVID-19 deaths occurred within the vaccinated population in Scotland in August 2021 tell the whole story? No, that's not true: The article is misleading because it leaves out the important fact that Scotland has high vaccination coverage. According to the latest figures, more than 91% of people over the age…

  • Fact Check: Vaccine 'Candidates' Transferred In December 2019 Were NOT For The Coronavirus That Causes COVID-19 -- They Were For MERS

    Fact Check

    Were COVID-19 vaccine "candidates" transferred to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) in December 2019 before the COVID-19 outbreak? No, that's not true: The vaccine materials transferred were for MERS-CoV, the virus that causes Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, not for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, according to a spokesperson at the National Institute of Allergy and…

  • Fact Check: Official Data Does NOT Show More People Have Died From The Vaccines Than From COVID-19

    Fact Check

    Does official data show that more people have died from the vaccines than from COVID-19? No, that's not true: The claim misconstrues what the statistics show. It discounts the deaths of people with COVID-19 and pre-existing conditions and assumes that everyone who dies after getting the shot did so because of the vaccine. As Lead Stories has reported previously, it's…
