No, that's not true: A New Zealand Ministry of Health official told Lead Stories that "There is no evidence to support this claim."

  • Fact Check: COVID-19 Vaccines Have NOT 'Killed 20 Million People'

    Fact Check

    Have COVID-19 vaccines "killed 20 million people" since their rollout? No, that's not true: The article making this claim cited a 2022 study that estimated COVID vaccines had saved -- not killed -- nearly 20 million lives in the first year of the pandemic, the study's lead author told Lead Stories.

    Fact Check

    Did the World Economic Forum announce in early July 2023 that it will ban fashion, making people exclusively wear uniforms by 2030? No, that's not true: The claim came into being as an exaggerated extrapolation of a 2019 report that wasn't even produced by the World Economic Forum as an organization. The story appeared in an article published by The…

  • Fact Check: CDC Report Does NOT Reveal Over 1 Million Americans Have 'Died Suddenly' Since COVID Vaccine Roll-Out, Another Government Report Does NOT Prove Vaccines Are To Blame

    Fact Check

    Does a "secret" CDC report reveal that at least 1.1 million Americans have "Died Suddenly" since the COVID-19 vaccine roll-out? Does a separate government report from the United Kingdom prove the vaccines are to blame? No, that's not true: There's no evidence to connect COVID vaccinations to the deaths. Simply because these people received COVID shots and later died doesn't…
