  • Fact Check: CDC Did NOT Admit COVID-19 Vaccines Are A 'Depopulation Kill Plan'

    Fact Check

    Did the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) admit that COVID-19 vaccines were created as part of a "depopulation kill plan"? No, that's not true: The CDC has never described COVID vaccine programs as a "depopulation plan." There is no record of the health agency having made this statement, and an article claiming as much did not cite any…

  • NewsBlaze CEO Appears Linked To Anonymous Anti-Vax Site GoodSciencing.com

  • Fact Check: Children Are NOT 50 Times More Likely To Be Killed By COVID Vaccines Than By Virus Itself

    Fact Check

    Are children 50 times more likely to be killed by the COVID-19 vaccines than by the virus itself? No, that's not true: The person who made the claim offered no proof for the claimed numbers of deaths from the COVID vaccine.

  • Fact Check: Head Of Pfizer Research Did NOT Say COVID Vaccine is Female Sterilization

    Fact Check

    Did the head of Pfizer research say the COVID vaccine is female sterilization? No, that's not true: This clickbait headline doubles up on false claims.

    Fact Check

    Is it true that the COVID-19 pandemic has ended, that false positives and rapid tests put the rate of infection near zero and that there will be no second wave of infections? No, none of those claims is true. Experts treating and researching COVID-19 say the claims by a former Pfizer scientist are not supported by the latest research. They…
