    Fact Check

    Does suramin or pine needle tea cure autism and serve as an antidote to people's adverse reactions to COVID-19 vaccines? No, that's not true: There is no evidence pine needle tea contains suramin, a drug invented by Bayer in the 20th century. The claims about suramin are made without evidence by a leading propagator of COVID and vaccine misinformation. While…

  • Fact Check: Hawaii Does NOT Say It Has 45k Deaths Because Of COVID-19 Vaccine

    Fact Check

    Does the state of Hawaii say it has had 45,000 deaths caused by COVID-19 vaccine? No, that's not true. Neither the state of Hawaii nor a representative of the state made this claim.

  • Fact Check: 'Pulse' Column Does NOT Accurately Describe COVID Risk And Misleads With VAERS Data And Claims The Unvaccinated Are No Threat

    Fact Check

    Does an opinion column in The Pulse accurately characterize the fatality risk COVID poses and does it correctly describe what is shown by data in the VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System)? No, that's not true: Without noting that COVID-19 is an unusually contagious infection, the article greatly de-emphasizes the risk of COVID to communities, while grossly overstating the proof…

    Fact Check

    Is the FDA approval of the COVID-19 vaccine illegal, and does a "doctor" prove the Pfizer informational insert with its vaccine shows criminal regulation violations?

  • Fact Check: VAERS Data Does NOT Establish Link Between '2,000 Deaths' And COVID-19 Vaccines -- There Was A Data Entry Error

    Fact Check

    Did the CDC report that deaths related to COVID-19 vaccines had skyrocketed and that more people were dying of the vaccine than the disease? No, that's not true: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention did not make any such announcement that vaccine-related deaths had shot up in the past week. Foreign reports were temporarily added into the VAERS (Vaccine…

    Fact Check

    Did the anonymous "whistleblower" in a July 19, 2021, lawsuit against the Secretary of Health and Human Services document her claim that 45,000 people died within three days of receiving a COVID vaccination? No, that's not true: It's her "opinion" that a five-fold multiplier of a list of unverified reports is warranted. The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has repeatedly…

No, that's not true: Anyone with internet access can add a report to the VAERS list; the public access link to it expressly warns against unwarranted conclusions based on VAERS material.

  • Fact Check: Public Health Experts Do NOT Say Natural Immunity To COVID Is Stronger Than Vaccine-Based Immunity

    Fact Check

    Does medical research show natural immunity to COVID-19 is stronger than that gained from vaccines, and that those vaccines are ineffective against emerging variants of the virus?
