Was a German video blogger and chemist murdered for exposing the truth about graphene oxide in vaccines? There is little information available on Dr. Andreas Noack's death other than two videos his life partner posted to Telegram. Statements made in these videos do, however, dispel rumors that Noack was killed by police. Noack's partner posted a video to a Telegram…

Are COVID-19 vaccines the reason vaccinated people ages 10 to 59 in England are dying at twice the rate of the unvaccinated? No, that's not true: Age 10-59 is, statistically, a huge age group, so the claim uses a misleading "same age" comparison. Within that group are older adults, who are three times more likely to be vaccinated, with a…

Is humanity being held hostage by a new world order pushing COVID-19 vaccines? No, that's not true: The video in this Facebook post recycles previously debunked claims about COVID and plays into the rhetoric of an elaborate QAnon story of a cabal of blood-drinking elites working for global dominion. The claims appear in a post (archived here) on November 16,…

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.

Do deaths reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) associated with COVID-19 vaccinations all stem from 5% of vaccine batches? No, that's not true: There is no evidence of widespread issues with specific vaccine lots.

Did the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention "admit" it has no proof that a re-infected naturally immune individual can spread the virus that causes COVID-19? No, that's not true: This is a recycled gambit by anti-vaccine and COVID-denial activists. The group or individual submits formal document requests to government agencies and, if the request for specific documents is turned…

Did the British Medical Association's news blog reveal flaws that disqualify the results of a contractor's field testing of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine, and were the problems ignored by the Food & Drug Administration and by Pfizer? No, that's not true: Pfizer and the FDA were made aware of the allegations about the contractor in 2020. Medical experts say the claims…

Did Gavin Newsom awaken from a vaccine coma at GITMO? No, that's not true: California Gov. Newsom was not in a coma at the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp after receiving the COVID-19 booster shot on October 27, 2021.

Do Israel's health statistics show COVID-19 vaccines are ineffective and have not changed health outcomes of Israelis? No, that's not true. The data demonstrate Simpson's Paradox, the name for a common statistical problem: a trend apparent in several groups of data disappears or reverses when the data are combined because you aren't considering an extra, and consequential, variable. Looked at…

Did Japan drop its vaccine program in favor of ivermectin, wiping out COVID-19 in one month? No, that's not true: While coronavirus cases plummeted in Japan after peaking in the second half of August, 2021, it had nothing to do with the anti-parasitic medicine.
