  • Fact Check: Chicken Egg Yolk Antibodies (IgYs) Research Is NOT Connected To Farm Fires -- Study Was About Eggs From Hens Immunized For Testing

    Fact Check

    Does a 2020 study published before the approval of any COVID-19 vaccine prove the existence of a conspiracy to burn chicken farms to prevent populations from getting access to eggs that allegedly can protect from COVID?

  • Fact Check: Boston University COVID-19 Strain Killed 20% FEWER Mice Than Wild Strain -- '80% Kill Rate' Did NOT Refer To Humans

    Fact Check

    Does a Boston University (BU) study of a COVID-19 strain with an "80% lethality" have implications for humans? No, that's not true: The kill rate refers to mice used in the lab tests, and BU's manipulated virus was less lethal than existing wild viruses, which showed a kill rate of 100 percent.

    Fact Check

    Do COVID-19 vaccines suppress the human immune system? No, that's not true: There is nothing to suggest that COVID shots have that sort of impact on the body's defenses.
