    Is Lyme disease a "made-up disease" that "was and is always" HIV/AIDS? No, that's not true: Lyme disease and HIV, the infection that causes AIDS, are distinct.

    Fact Check

    Is SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, "not a truly isolated human virus" because it was only replicated in monkey cell lines? No, that's not true: While the origin of the virus is hypothesized to be from an animal, the virus was isolated from human patients soon after its emergence in humans.

    Fact Check

    Does suramin or pine needle tea cure autism and serve as an antidote to people's adverse reactions to COVID-19 vaccines?

  • Fact Check: The Supreme Court Did NOT Rule That The COVID Vaccine Is Unsafe

    Fact Check

    Did the U.S. Supreme Court rule that the COVID-19 vaccine is unsafe? Did Dr. Anthony Fauci and "Big Pharma" lose a lawsuit to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and others over the safety of COVID vaccine? No, neither of those are true: There has been no recent court proceeding, or ruling, from the Supreme Court stating that COVID vaccine is unsafe.…

    Fact Check

    Are COVID-19 vaccines rewriting patients' DNA, sneaking microchips into people's bodies and causing infertility? No, that's not true: The claims are made without citations to research or other evidence and are directly refuted by public health and medical experts in the relevant specialties. The claims originate in a video (archived here) posted on the BitChute account of WilParanormal on May…

  • Fact Check: COVID Virus NOT Man-made And Vaccine NOT Forced On Unwilling

    Fact Check

    Is the U.S. pushing an under-tested, dangerous coronavirus vaccine on unwilling people as part of a depopulation agenda? And was the virus man-made and weaponized in U.S. and Chinese labs? No, these claims are untrue. There are no plans to force people to be vaccinated, no vaccine has been approved, and there is no evidence the virus was created in…
