  • 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…

    Fact Check

    Did the head of Bayer's pharmaceutical division admit the COVID-19 vaccines are gene therapy? No, that's not true: The comments made by Bayer's Stephan Oelrich were taken out of context.
