  • Fact Check: New Zealand Does NOT Allow Abortions 'On Demand For Any Reason Up To Birth'

    Fact Check

    Does New Zealand allow abortions "on demand for any reason up to birth"? No, that's not true: According to a 2020 law, pregnancy terminations after the 20-week mark undergo a thorough review by at least two licensed health practitioners who have to consider multiple aspects of the situation to decide whether abortion is "clinically appropriate in the circumstances." The claim…

  • Fact Check: Democratic Win in AZ Governor's Race NOT Sign of 'Rigged' Election Despite Republican Wins In Other Race

No, that's not true: Election data from past years show ticket-splitting is common in Arizona. An Arizona pollster with two decades experience tracking election data told Lead Stories it is not unusual for the…

  • Fact Check: Vaccines Do NOT Make Boys 'Think They Should Be GIRLS' And Do NOT Produce 'Girls Thinking They Are Boys'

    Fact Check

    Do vaccines make people identify with a gender other than their gender assigned at birth by changing the composition of that person's DNA? No, that's not true: Vaccines do not change a person's DNA -- they provide immunity against diseases, an expert in genetics told Lead Stories. The claim appeared in an Instagram post on November 26, 2022. The post's…

  • Fact Check: COVID-19 Vaccine Does NOT Increase Stillbirths As Graph Implies

    Fact Check

    Does a graph show that the COVID-19 vaccine increases stillbirths? No, that is missing context: The graph was published on the U.S. government's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) website. As VAERS itself repeatedly explains, its purpose is to collect a wide-open, likely repetitive, messy and incomplete list of anecdotal, amateur, professional and even malicious reports of post-vaccination problems.The graph…

  • Fact Check: Pfizer Documents Do NOT Reveal 90% Of Pregnant Women Vaccinated Against COVID Lost Their Babies

    Fact Check

    Do Pfizer documents reveal that 90 percent of pregnant women vaccinated against COVID lost their babies, and that COVID vaccination is going to lead to "mass depopulation"? No, that's not true: There's no evidence to support that claim. Extrapolations from a small data subset don't warrant application of non-professional assumptions about effects of vaccines in the absence of data. The…

  • Fact Check: Miscarriage Rate NOT 44% For Pregnant Women in Pfizer COVID Vaccine Trial

    Fact Check

    Did 44 percent of pregnant women in Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine trial have miscarriages? No, that's not true: Author/activist Naomi Wolf incorrectly analyzed public information when making the claim that "out of 50 pregnant women, 22 of them lost their babies." Wolf and two publishers have all retracted the claim, which continued to circulate nonetheless. Jeffrey Morris, professor of biostatistics at…
