Man-Made And Covid

  • Fact Check: UK Medicines Regulator Does NOT Confirm COVID Is Man-Made; Vaccines Were NOT Made With Computer-Generated DNA

    Fact Check

    Did the U.K. Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) admit in a series of email exchanges that COVID-19 is man-made and that COVID vaccines were created with computer-generated DNA? No, that's not true: The MHRA told Lead Stories that the correspondence cited in a claim did take place, but the assertions made from those emails aren't correct. The claim…

  • Fact Check: This Video Does NOT Confirm That Vaccines Are 'Mind Control Neuroweapon' That 'Can React To 5G Towers'

    Fact Check

    Did Karen Kingston present the new evidence confirming that vaccines against COVID-19 are a "mind control neuroweapon" that "can react to 5G towers"? No, that's not true. She only repeated the false claims previously debunked by Lead Stories, "supporting" them with unrelated quotes taken out of context. The claim originated from a fragment of the Stew Peters show (archived here)…

  • Fact Check: Documents Were NOT Published Confirming Moderna Created COVID-19 Virus

    Fact Check

    Were documents published that confirm Moderna created the COVID-19 virus? No, that's not true: Bala Ambati, a University of Oregon research professor and one of the authors of those documents, told Lead Stories, "We are not casting aspersions on any person, company, or country, but rather raising the hypothesis that recombination in a human cell line with a lab leak…

  • Fact Check: Video's Purported 'Morgellons' In Respirator Masks Could NOT Be Nano-Robots -- 'Nano' Is Not Visible To Human Eye

    Fact Check

    Do respirator masks prescribed to reduce viral spread contain nano-robot parasites called Morgellons? No, that's not true: "Nano" describes structures one billionth of a meter across, which makes the video images impossible, since it shows a fingertip alongside the purported nano-bot. Scientists have been unable to verify the existence of any parasite that could be causing "Morgellons Disease," which the…

  • Fact Check: CDC Interim Final Rule Re: Chimeric Viruses Does NOT Confirm COVID-19 Is Man-Made Virus

    Fact Check

    Does a CDC rule concerning chimeric viruses confirm that COVID-19 is man-made? No, that's not true: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the rule cited by the Hal Turner Radio Show has nothing to do with the origin of SARS-CoV-2. The claim appeared in an article (archived here) published by the Hal Turner Radio Show website on January…

  • Fact Check: Email Addressed To Dr. Anthony Fauci Does NOT Confirm COVID-19 Was Man-made

    Fact Check

    Does an email addressed to Dr. Anthony Fauci confirm that COVID-19 was man-made? No, that's not true: The email, forwarded to Fauci via public inquiry, states that the virus that causes COVID-19 was created but does not prove that it was. The search for the origin of the virus, at the time this fact check was written, was still under…

  • Fact Check: Covid-19 Pandemic Was NOT Planned By Bill Gates And 5G Does NOT Cause It

    Fact Check

    Was the COVID-19 pandemic pre-planned with help from billionaire Bill Gates and have the illnesses associated with it been spread by 5G technology? No, that's not true: The claims made in the "Covid-19 Genocide of 2020" video are a rehash of conspiracy myths previously debunked by Lead Stories and other fact checkers. The claims originated in a video of an…

  • Fact Check: COVID Virus NOT Man-made And Vaccine NOT Forced On Unwilling

    Fact Check

    Is the U.S. pushing an under-tested, dangerous coronavirus vaccine on unwilling people as part of a depopulation agenda? And was the virus man-made and weaponized in U.S. and Chinese labs? No, these claims are untrue. There are no plans to force people to be vaccinated, no vaccine has been approved, and there is no evidence the virus was created in…

  • Fact Check: There is NOT An 'Irrefutable Paper Trail' To Prove COVID-19 Is Lab-made

    Fact Check

    Is there an "irrefutable paper trail" that shows COVID-19 was manufactured in a laboratory? No, that's not true: Screenshots taken from the rapid-fire display of documents in the video making that claim show only that a number of scientists have in the past worried that lab tests on a coronavirus could lead to an outbreak, that the U.S. Centers for…

  • Fact Check: The World Bank Did NOT Document Existence Of COVID-19 Test Kits Since 2017

    Fact Check

    Does a World Bank website prove COVID-19 test kits were sold worldwide as early as 2017? No, that's not true: On a web page, the World Bank put the "COVID-19" label on existing virus test kit components to help disease fighters find equipment to test for the latest coronavirus outbreak. The claim appeared in a post (archived here) posted on…
