  • Fact Check: COVID-Vaccinated Young Adults Are NOT 92% More Likely To Die Than Unvaccinated Young Adults In England

    Fact Check

    Were COVID-vaccinated young adults 92 percent more likely to die than their unvaccinated counterparts in England during the first full year that the vaccines were available? No, that's not true: While U.K. health agencies report that the figures are generally correct, the numbers were stripped of crucial context about vaccine breakthrough infection and the demographics of those prioritized for vaccination.…

  • 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: Pfizer's COVID Vaccine Does NOT Cause 'Astonishing Drop In Male Fertility' -- Sperm Count Dip Is Temporary

    Fact Check

    Does the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine cause an "Astonishing Drop in Male Fertility"? 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 for Disease Control and Prevention also said…

  • Fact Check: Numbers Only Part Of Reason Triple-Vaccinated Account For 9 Of 10 COVID Deaths In England Over Last Year

    Fact Check

    Did the United Kingdom publish a report that shows individuals fully/triple-vaccinated against the coronavirus account for nine in every 10 COVID-19 deaths in England over the past year? That's true, but simple statistics don't tell the full story: While the U.K. Office of National Statistics states that the figures for full and triple-vaccination status are correct, "When most of the…

  • Fact Check: Trudeau Did NOT Drop Vaccine Mandate Because 9 In Every 10 COVID-19 Deaths Have Been Among the Vaccinated

    Fact Check

    Did Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau drop Canada's vaccine mandate because nine in every 10 COVID-19 deaths have been among the vaccinated? No, that's not true: The Canadian government made no such claim in the announcement of its plan to end the vaccine mandate for people entering the country. It did cite several other factors, however, including Canada's high vaccination…

  • Fact Check: COVID Vaccines NOT To Blame For Fact That Triple-Vaccinated Account For 91% Of COVID Deaths In England, Wales

    Fact Check

    Did the United Kingdom publish reports that show individuals triple-vaccinated against the coronavirus account for 91% of the COVID-19 deaths in the country through 2022? Do these reports further show that over 24,000 "unexplained" excess deaths have occurred since April 2022? No, that's not true: While the U.K. Office of National Statistics states that the figures for triple-vaccination status and…

  • Fact Check: England Did NOT Publish 'Horrific Figures On COVID Vaccine Deaths' -- Data Does NOT Link Deaths To Shots

    Fact Check

    Did England publish "horrific figures on COVID Vaccine Deaths" that show 1 in 482 people died within a month of receiving their shot, 1 in 246 died within 60 days and 1 in 73 died by May 2022? No, that's not true: While the figures are correct, according to the U.K. Office of National Statistics, the statistics are missing crucial…

  • Fact Check: NO Proof Start Of COVID Vaccinations For Children In Europe Is Responsible For 'Shocking 691% Increase' In Excess Deaths

    Fact Check

    Has the number of excess deaths in Europe gone up a "shocking 691%" in children since the European Medicines Agency (EMA) first approved the COVID vaccine for them? Yes, it's true that the number of excess deaths has gone up some sevenfold, but there's no evidence to support the implied connection between the increase and the start of COVID vaccinations…

  • Fact Check: High Vaccination Rate Explains Why 94% Of English COVID Deaths Are Among Fully Vaccinated -- Numbers Only Part Of Full Story

    Fact Check

    Do fully vaccinated people account for 94 percent of COVID-19 deaths in England? Yes, that's true: However, a simple ratio analysis based on that statistic doesn't fully tell the story. A report that some of the information comes from warns on Page 45 that "Comparing case rates among vaccinated and unvaccinated populations should not be used to estimate vaccine effectiveness…

    Fact Check

    Is Canada's Prime Minister panicking over statistics that show 80 percent of Canadians who died of COVID were vaccinated? No, that's not true: That percentage isn't a surprise in light of widespread vaccination, which makes a relatively small actual number of deaths into a large percentage of overall deaths. The claim offers no proof of panic. In fact, at the…
