  • 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. Also, the calculations used to produce the 20 million…

  • Fact Check: Watermelon Cracks Are NOT Caused By Plant Growth Regulator And Do NOT Cause Cancer, Other Health Issues

    Fact Check

    Should cracked watermelon not be eaten because the cracks may be from the plant growth regulator forchlorfenuron, which causes cancer and neurological complications? No, that's not true: The cracks in the flesh of watermelon are caused by poor pollination, a University of Delaware expert told Lead Stories. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says forchlorfenuron is used on grapes and kiwifruits…

  • Fact Check: 'Survey' Does NOT Prove Vaccinated Over '2X More Likely To Get COVID Than the Unvaccinated'

    Fact Check

    Did a "survey" find that "Vaccinated people are over 2X more likely to get COVID than the unvaccinated"?

  • Fact Check: mRNA NOT Added To All Childhood Vaccines Without Regulatory Reapproval -- Any Changes Require Vaccines To Be Treated As New Product, Re-Evaluated

    Fact Check

    Is mRNA being integrated into "every childhood vaccine" without regulatory reapproval? No, that's not true: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) calls the claim "completely false." There are rigorous regulatory processes in place to evaluate and approve any changes to vaccines, including the incorporation of new technologies like mRNA. Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine was the first mRNA product to achieve…

  • Fact Check: Cleveland Clinic Study Did NOT Prove 'Absolute Linear Correlation' Between COVID-19 Vaccines And Infection Risk

    Fact Check

    Does a study conducted by researchers at the Cleveland Clinic provide an "absolute direct linear correlation" that the more COVID-19 vaccines a person receives, the higher likelihood that person has of contracting the disease, thus proving that the bivalent vaccine was a "complete failure"?

  • Fact Check: COVID-19 Vaccine-Related 'Turbo Cancers' Are NOT Real -- Thus NOT 'Contagious' Or 'Behaving Like A Bioweapon'

    Are COVID-19 vaccine-related "turbo cancers" real? Are they also "contagious" and "behaving like a bioweapon"? No, that's not true: There is no serious evidence for the claim that COVID vaccines cause "turbo cancers." Cancer is complex and has many causes.
