  • Fact Check: VAERS Data Is NOT 'Crystal Clear' Proof That COVID-19 Vaccines Are Killing '1 Person Per 1,000 Doses'

    Fact Check

    Does data collected from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) prove that COVID-19 vaccines are "killing an estimated 1 person per 1,000 doses," resulting in "676,000 dead Americans"? No, that's not true: The claim originated in a blog post by a known COVID misinformation spreader who used VAERS data in ways that medical experts have explicitly advised against. As…

  • Fact Check: Pfizer Does NOT Have Patent 'For Tracking Vaccinated Humans Worldwide Via Microwave And Graphene'

    Fact Check

    Does a picture circulating on social media prove that Pfizer has a patent "for tracking vaccinated humans worldwide via microwave and graphene"? No, that's not true: The pictured document is not a Pfizer patent and it does not mention graphene or microwaves. Pfizer's office of media relations confirmed to Lead Stories that Pfizer has nothing to do with the patent,…

  • Fact Check: 'Adverse Vaccine Reactions' Did NOT Become Leading Cause Of US Deaths In 2021 Or 2022

    Fact Check

    Did "adverse vaccine reaction" become the leading cause of U.S. deaths in 2021 and 2022? No, that's not true: Adverse vaccine reactions are not a categorical cause of death tracked by health officials. Also, the vaccination status and records of deceased individuals are not tracked. In both 2021 and 2022, experts told Lead Stories that the leading cause of death…

  • Fact Check: Government Did NOT Patent Luciferase 'Mark' To Serve As COVID Vaccine Tracker

    Fact Check

    Did the U.S. government file a patent to use an enzyme called luciferase to track the vaccination status of individuals? No, that's not true: While the patent is authentic it was filed on September 16, 2019, predating the COVID-19 pandemic, and was accepted in November 2020. Separately, the claim is not supported with credible public documentation that the U.S. government…

  • Fact Check: mRNA Vaccines For Livestock Are NOT Mandated For Australian Farmers As Of October 2022

    Fact Check

    Are Australian farmers being forced to inject livestock with mRNA vaccines that are killing cows? No, that's not true: Some biotechnology firms and governments have announced plans to research and eventually roll out less expensive and more efficient mRNA vaccines made for livestock, but no such "mandate" has been announced, and thus no mass die-off of vaccine-receiving animals has been…

  • Fact Check: CDC Is NOT Collecting DNA Through COVID-19 Test Samples

    Fact Check

    Is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention collecting DNA through COVID-19 test samples? No, that's not true: The CDC published a tweet on February 16, 2022, that stated that if a person took a COVID nose swab test there was "a 10% chance that it ended up in a lab for genomic sequencing analysis." The following day, February 17,…

  • Fact Check: COVID-19 Vaccines Are NOT Full Of Exclusive Nanotechnology To Create 'Slave Species'

    Fact Check

    Are COVID-19 vaccines full of exclusive nanotechnology to create a "slave species"? No, that's not true: Anti-vaccination group La Quinta Columna (The Fifth Column) provides no proof for its claims that COVID vaccines contain nanotechnology. Patents and ingredient lists for the vaccines do not show any of the "NanoRouters ... Nano-Antennas and Plasmonic Antennas" alleged to be in them. The…

  • Fact Check: Moderna Patent Does NOT Uncover 'Nanocensor' Contained In Its Vaccines

    Fact Check

    Does a Moderna patent reveal a nanosensor is contained in its COVID-19 vaccine? No, that's not true: COVID vaccines contain no nanosensors. Patents for the mRNA vaccine and an ingredients list from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) show the Moderna shot does not have any nanosensors in it. The interview making this claim was posted to Rumble on December…

    Fact Check

    Does a 54-minute video interview featuring elaborate conspiracy theories show we are living through a global bioweapons attack? No, that's not true: The video includes a lengthy list of claims and charges that have already been debunked. No evidence is provided to support the notion of a worldwide bioweapons attack by a cabal bent on global dominion. The interview was…

  • Fact Check: Patent Documents Do NOT 'Expose Medical Devices' In COVID Vaccines, Including Injectable Tracking And Computing System

    Fact Check

    Do patent documents "expose" the existence of microscopic computing, tracking and medical devices in the COVID vaccines made by Moderna and Pfizer? No, that's not true: The patents described are for the lipids used to send mRNA instructions into human cells to train the body to attack the spike protein that distinguishes the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The Food & Drug Administration…
