  • Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show 'Protein In Vaccines' Being Pulled From Body -- It's A Tapeworm

    Fact Check

    Does a video on social media show an extremely long protein string from a vaccine being removed from a person's body? No, that's not true: The video shows a tapeworm being pulled out through a person's nostril.

    Fact Check

    Is water consumption so unhealthy that people "are not supposed" to drink it?

  • Fact Check: 'Watch The Water 2' Does NOT Prove COVID-19 MRNA Vaccines Come From Snake Venom, Do NOT Cause Humans To Produce Venom In Bodies

    Fact Check

    Do COVID-19 mRNA vaccines and treatments for the virus come from snake venom and do the vaccines then cause humans to produce venom in their bodies? In addition, is nicotine the "perfect antidote" for COVID, making the vaccines unnecessary?
