  • Fact Check: mRNA NOT Added To All Childhood Vaccines Without Regulatory Reapproval -- Any Changes Require Vaccines To Be Treated As New Product, Re-Evaluated

    Fact Check

    Is mRNA being integrated into "every childhood vaccine" without regulatory reapproval? No, that's not true: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) calls the claim "completely false." There are rigorous regulatory processes in place to evaluate and approve any changes to vaccines, including the incorporation of new technologies like mRNA. Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine was the first mRNA product to achieve…

  • Fact Check: German Government Does NOT Have Study Figures Showing Pfizer COVID Vaccine Safer Than Placebo -- But Shot Still Safe, Effective

    Fact Check

    Does the German government have study figures that show people given the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine (Comirnaty) "have overall suffered from fewer medically undesirable events as subjects who received the placebo"? No, that's not true: As of August 4, 2023, Germany's Federal Ministry of Health said it did not have "such figures." But not having such study figures proves nothing in…

  • Fact Check: Cleveland Clinic Study Did NOT Prove 'Absolute Linear Correlation' Between COVID-19 Vaccines And Infection Risk

    Fact Check

    Does a study conducted by researchers at the Cleveland Clinic provide an "absolute direct linear correlation" that the more COVID-19 vaccines a person receives, the higher likelihood that person has of contracting the disease, thus proving that the bivalent vaccine was a "complete failure"? No, that's not true: Dr. Nabin Shrestha, an infectious disease expert and one of the cited…

  • Fact Check: NO 'Secret CDC Report' Shows Hundreds Of Thousands Of Children 'Died Suddenly' Following Rollout Of COVID-19 Vaccines

    Fact Check

    Does a "secret CDC report" show hundreds of thousands of children "died suddenly" in the United States following the COVID-19 vaccine rollout?

  • Fact Check: COVID-19 Vaccine-Related 'Turbo Cancers' Are NOT Real -- Thus NOT 'Contagious' Or 'Behaving Like A Bioweapon'

    Fact Check

    Are COVID-19 vaccine-related "turbo cancers" real? Are they also "contagious" and "behaving like a bioweapon"? No, that's not true: There is no serious evidence for the claim that COVID vaccines cause "turbo cancers." Cancer is complex and has many causes. Additionally, the thought that cancers could be contagious or act like bioweapons lacks support from credible science. Vaccines help the…

  • Fact Check: Nattokinase NOT A Proven COVID 'Spike Protein Detox' NOR Has US Even Set Dosages -- It's A Food Supplement

    Fact Check

    Is nattokinase an effective treatment for "spike protein detox" associated with COVID-19 vaccines? No, that's not true: COVID vaccines are not shown to be toxic, so it is not necessary to "detox" from them. Nattokinase is a soybean supplement that is not monitored in the U.S. and as of August 2023, experts recommend avoiding it. Furthermore, the study cited as…

No, that's not true: There is no evidence that Bourla was arrested, and Pfizer confirmed that it didn't happen.

    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…
