    Fact Check

    Is measles vaccination proven to have caused "63 times more" deaths than measles in the United States between 2003 and 2018? No, that's not true: Lead Stories found zero credible sources confirming that.

  • Fact Check: Japan Did NOT Declare Emergency Over 'Explosion Of mRNA Cancers'
