  • 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: Vaccinated People Do NOT Become The Property Of mRNA Vaccine Patent Holders -- mRNA Does NOT Alter Natural DNA

    Fact Check

    Do gene editing mRNA vaccine patent holders own vaccinated people outright once injected, and does mRNA alter natural human DNA? No, that's not true: A Stanford University professor of law specializing in bioethics told Lead Stories that these claims are "too absurd even to be wrong." Also, many credible medical organizations have debunked the claim that mRNA vaccines alter the…

  • Fact Check: Researchers Did NOT Discover 'Various Foreign Objects' Like Worms In Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine

    Fact Check

    Did researchers discover "various foreign objects" -- like worms hatching from eggs -- in the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine? No, that's not true: None of the listed ingredients in the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine are intentionally harmful. The claim, which originated in this article published January 8, 2022, by the RAIR Foundation, reappeared in an article (archived here) published by Liberty Planet…

  • Fact Check: Taking A Bath In Borax Does NOT 'Detox' Vaccine From Your Body

    Fact Check

    Is bathing in a mixture of borax, baking soda, "Indian healing clay" and Epsom salt a good way to "detox" the COVID-19 vaccine from your body? No, that's not true: There is no scientific evidence that bathing in a borax mixture will remove the vaccine from your body. Dr. William Schaffner, a professor of preventive medicine, told Lead Stories that…

  • Fact Check: COVID Vaccines Do NOT Contain Hydrogel Nanobots Capable Of Reproducing And Of Implanting False Memories

    Fact Check

    Do COVID-19 vaccines approved in the United States contain hydrogel nanobots that multiply, rewrite human genetics and erase and plant memories in human brains? No, that's not true nor even possible in 2021. No private or academic lab has laid claim to the ability to make a robot that could pass through a COVID vaccine hypodermic needle carrying the kind…

  • Fact Check: There Is NO Such 'Aluminum Parasite' As Franc Zalewski Claims Are In COVID Vaccines, Nor Are There Nanotech 'Organisms'

    Fact Check

    Are there aluminum parasites in COVID vaccines and self-assembling nanorobots or superconductors? No, that's not true: The consensus of professional peer-reviewed biology operates on the premise that life on Earth is carbon-based, not aluminum-based. The Food & Drug Administration says the claims are "completely false" and not supported by the lab-verified ingredient lists required for approval of new medicines. The…

  • Fact Check: Zelenko 'Vaccine Death Report' Does NOT Show Credible Data -- It Rehashes Disproven COVID Vaccine Claims

    Fact Check

    Does a 52-page pdf entitled, "The Vaccine Death Report" show how dangerous and deadly COVID-19 vaccines are? No, that's not true: This document contains an international cast of claims that have already been debunked. The vaccine disinformation in this collection carries with it a secondary level of baseless conspiratorial beliefs underpinning most of the talking points that are summarized at…

    Fact Check

    Is it true that the government is about to approve an Emeryville, California company's implantable "chip" that will create "transhumans" and allow government to spy on our health and other data? No, that is not true. The sensor awaiting government approval would not track people's movements, listen in on calls, read emails, nor record search histories. Rather, it would measure…

  • Fact Check: Video Does NOT Prove Face Masks Kill Or That Microchips Will Be Forced Into Everyone Through Vaccines

    Fact Check

    Are face masks dangerous and deadly, and would a COVID-19 vaccine alter our DNA and be used implant microchips in everyone? No, that's not true. Face masks are proven to be safe, and since there is no current vaccine, it is not possible to conclude it could alter our DNA or be used for microchipping. Those claims are in a…
