  • Fact Check: Bill Gates Did NOT Turn Gates Foundation Into A Corporation To Carry Out U.S. Plot To Depopulate Developing Countries

    Fact Check

    Is the Gates Foundation a multinational corporation that profits from vaccines as part of a U.S. government plot hatched in the 1970s to depopulate developing countries? No, that's not true: The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is a registered nonprofit that doesn't pay dividends or capital gains to shareholders. The video cites a declassified 1974 document as proof of the…

  • Fact Check: COVID-19 Vaccines Are NOT 'Weapons of Mass Destruction'

    Fact Check

    Are COVID-19 vaccines "weapons of mass destruction"? No, that's not true: There's no public evidence the vaccines put the future of mankind at risk. To the contrary, medical authorities widely agree the vaccines represent one of our best hopes of quashing the pandemic. The claim is one of several made during a video that recycles debunked conspiracy theories about COVID-19…

  • Fact Check: Evidence Does NOT Support 'Three Big Lies' Theory: That COVID Virus Doesn't Exist, PCR Test Is A Failure And That 5G Towers Cause COVID

    Fact Check

    Is it true that the SARS-CoV-2 virus has not been positively identified, that the PCR test is not accurate after a certain point and that there are major ways to become ill other than through airborne transmission of the virus, such as by acute electromagnetic radiation poisoning?

  • Fact Check: Despite Peruvian Court Declaration, There Is NO Evidence Soros, Gates and Rockefeller Created COVID-19

    Fact Check

    Did George Soros, Bill Gates and the Rockefeller family create the COVID-19 virus, as a three-judge Peruvian court declared?

  • Fact Check: Bill Gates Did NOT Admit On Video He Has COVID-19

    Fact Check

    Did Bill Gates admit he has COVID-19? No, that's not true: A headline on a 20-second video posted online claims that Gates "admits he has COVID-19." The short video is deceptively edited from a longer video of Gates speaking with the head of the TED (technology, entertainment, design) conference in mid-2020, discussing what he predicted would be the number of…

    Fact Check

    Is Bill Gates guilty of treason, seditious conspiracy, advocating overthrow of the government or crimes against humanity? No, that's not true: There is no such case on file in federal courts. The claim was made without evidence that Gates is guilty of these crimes or should be convicted of them. He has become a frequent target of conspiracies by COVID-19…

    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.

    Fact Check

    Did a German schoolchild die as a result of wearing their required mask in school?

    Fact Check

    Does a World Bank website prove COVID-19 test kits were sold worldwide as early as 2017?

  • Fact Check: Video Does NOT Prove Face Masks Kill Or That Microchips Will Be Forced Into Everyone Through Vaccines

    Fact Check

    Are face masks dangerous and deadly, and would a COVID-19 vaccine alter our DNA and be used implant microchips in everyone? No, that's not true. Face masks are proven to be safe, and since there is no current vaccine, it is not possible to conclude it could alter our DNA or be used for microchipping. Those claims are in a…
