  • Fact Check: Pneumonia Listed In Pfizer Document Does NOT Prove Its COVID-19 Vaccine Caused Respiratory Outbreak In China

    Fact Check

    Does the listing of "Pneumonia mycoplasma" in Pfizer's guidance on adverse event reports associated with its COVID-19 vaccine prove that the shot caused a respiratory outbreak in China? No, that's not true: It's a fundamental misreading of standard vaccine documents, which direct doctors to rapidly report any problems from a long list as a precaution. The Centers for Disease Control…

  • Fact Check: CDC Did NOT Remove COVID Vaccine Adverse Event Reports From Its Website

    Fact Check

    Did the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) remove COVID-19 vaccine adverse event reports from its website? No, that's not true: The national public health agency did not remove COVID vaccine adverse event reports from its website. The CDC and other health agencies regularly monitor and report on vaccine safety, including adverse events, through the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting…

  • Fact Check: Video, Swiss Study Do NOT Prove 1 In 35 Given COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Develop Heart Injury

    Fact Check

    Did one in every 35 people who received a Moderna COVID-19 mRNA-1273 booster vaccination suffer myocardial injury? No, that's not true: There is no reliable evidence or data to support this claim. Such a high rate of adverse reactions would be highly unusual and would likely have resulted in widespread concern and investigation. The authors of the study cited to…

  • Fact Check: COVID-19 Vaccine 'Analysis' Does NOT Prove $147 Billion In Economic Damage, Tens Of Millions Injured Or Disabled

    Fact Check

    Does a "new report" prove that an estimated "26.6 million people were injured, 1.36 million disabled, and 300,000 excess deaths can be attributed to COVID-19 vaccine damages in 2022 alone"? No, that's not true: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provided data from a government report, which told a much different story. It said that tens of millions…

  • Fact Check: Movie 'Died Suddenly' Does NOT Demonstrate That COVID-19 Vaccines Cause Sudden Death

    Fact Check

    Does the movie "Died Suddenly" demonstrate that COVID-19 vaccinations cause widespread sudden death or severe medical outcomes? No, that's not true: The film recycles previously debunked claims that the vaccine is lethal or dangerous for the average person receiving it. More than 5.45 billion people have been vaccinated worldwide and public health experts recommend immunization against the virus, saying it…

  • Fact Check: COVID-19 Vaccine Does NOT Increase Stillbirths As Graph Implies

    Fact Check

    Does a graph show that the COVID-19 vaccine increases stillbirths? No, that is missing context: The graph was published on the U.S. government's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) website. As VAERS itself repeatedly explains, its purpose is to collect a wide-open, likely repetitive, messy and incomplete list of anecdotal, amateur, professional and even malicious reports of post-vaccination problems.The graph…

  • Fact Check: Pfizer Documents Do NOT Reveal 90% Of Pregnant Women Vaccinated Against COVID Lost Their Babies

    Fact Check

    Do Pfizer documents reveal that 90 percent of pregnant women vaccinated against COVID lost their babies, and that COVID vaccination is going to lead to "mass depopulation"? No, that's not true: There's no evidence to support that claim. Extrapolations from a small data subset don't warrant application of non-professional assumptions about effects of vaccines in the absence of data. The…

  • Fact Check: V-Safe CDC Data Does NOT Prove 'Stunning Amount' Of 'Severe' COVID-19 Vaccine Side Effects

    Fact Check

    Does a "massive study" of "v-safe" data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) prove that the COVID-19 vaccine caused a "stunning amount" of severe side effects? No, that's not true: No such study occurred, and no reputable scientific or medical institution has published a wide-scale "study" to establish causation between vaccination and self-reported vaccine adverse events…

  • Fact Check: Miscarriage Rate NOT 44% For Pregnant Women in Pfizer COVID Vaccine Trial

    Fact Check

    Did 44 percent of pregnant women in Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine trial have miscarriages? No, that's not true: Author/activist Naomi Wolf incorrectly analyzed public information when making the claim that "out of 50 pregnant women, 22 of them lost their babies." Wolf and two publishers have all retracted the claim, which continued to circulate nonetheless. Jeffrey Morris, professor of biostatistics at…

  • Fact Check: New Study, Pfizer Docs Do NOT Prove COVID-19 Vaccination Will Cause Mass Depopulation Through Infertility, Death

    Fact Check

    Do a new study and Pfizer documents prove COVID-19 vaccination will cause mass depopulation through infertility and premature death? 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…
