  • Fact Check: Amy Schumer Did NOT Say She Developed VAIDS As A Direct Result Of COVID-19 Vaccination

    Fact Check

    Did Amy Schumer say she developed "vaccine acquired immune deficiency syndrome" (VAIDS) as a result of COVID-19 vaccination? No, that's not true: Schumer said on her Instagram account that she has endometriosis, a disease that causes tissue similar to the lining of the uterus to grow outside the uterus. VAIDS is not a recognized medical condition related to COVID-19 vaccination…

  • Fact Check: Immunologist Did NOT Admit COVID-19 Vaccines Would 'Sterilise' Humans -- He Used Medical Term For Virus Eradication

    Fact Check

    Did an immunologist accidentally admit that COVID-19 vaccines were intended to sterilize humans, as a video on Instagram implied? No, that's not true: Though the post included genuine footage, it lacked context that makes clear what was meant. Dr. John Bell's comments in an interview were about "sterilizing immunity", a public health term that refers to eradicating a virus from…

  • 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"? No, that's not true: Dr. Nabin Shrestha, an infectious disease expert and one of the cited…

  • Fact Check: Tetanus Vaccines Are NOT Being Used To Sterilize People

    Fact Check

    Are tetanus shots being used to sterilize people? No, that's not true: Such claims are "completely illogical and contrary to fact," a molecular biologist told Lead Stories. There is no substantive evidence that tetanus vaccines available as of June 2023 contain a hormone that would "attack" a pregnancy and cause a miscarriage. Numerous studies indicate that tetanus vaccines are safe…

  • Fact Check: Video Does NOT Prove COVID-19 Spike Protein Replaces Sperm In Men

    Fact Check

    Does a video presentation prove that the spike protein in COVID-19 mRNA vaccines replaces the sperm in men? No, that's not true: No scientific evidence supports the claim. The spike protein is a harmless protein found on the surface of the coronavirus. It is the target of the immune response COVID-19 vaccines aim to trigger. The mRNA vaccines, such as…

  • Fact Check: Study Did NOT Prove Wearing Masks Causes Stillbirths, Testicular Dysfunction And Cognitive Decline 'Due To Build-Up Of Carbon Dioxide'

    Fact Check

    Did a study prove that wearing face masks raises the risk of stillbirths, testicular dysfunction and cognitive decline "due to build-up of carbon dioxide" (CO2)? No, that's not true: A "study" shared widely to social media was actually a review article of existing scientific studies -- not directly related to mask-wearing -- that a medical expert told Lead Stories was…

  • Fact Check: Pfizer's COVID Vaccine Does NOT Cause 'Astonishing Drop In Male Fertility' -- Sperm Count Dip Is Temporary

    Fact Check

    Does the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine cause an "Astonishing Drop in Male Fertility"? No, that's not true: The shot temporarily lowers sperm count, much the same as after a "simple viral infection," according to Itai Gat, one of the authors of a study published June 17, 2022, that looked into the connection. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also said…
