    Fact Check

    By Uliana Malashenko Is it true that the Ukrainian president's daughter, Oleksandra Zelenska, called her father, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a "Nazi" and a "murderer"?

  • Fact Check: Data DOES Show British Children Up To 303 Times More Likely To Die From COVID After Vaccination Than Unvaccinated Kids -- But Sickest Got Shots First

    Fact Check

    Does data from England show children are up to 303 times more likely to die from COVID-19 following vaccination than unvaccinated children? Yes, that's true, but raw numbers don't tell the full story. "The numbers appear correct, but ... are highly misleading. Mortality rates should be interpreted carefully for children because of the way children at risk were prioritised in…

  • Fact Check: NO Evidence That Salvador Ramos Was Transgender

    Fact Check

    Was Salvador Ramos, the Texas school shooter, transgender? No, there's no evidence that's true: A post saying he was offers nothing to substantiate the claim. It's likely related to other claims that falsely identify Ramos in photographs of a person wearing a skirt and holding a transgender pride flag. Lead Stories has previously debunked claims about the photographs. The transgender…

OConnor, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Johns Hopkins Lyme…

  • Fact Check: Wilhelm Reich Did NOT Invent A Cure For Cancer Or Claim That He Had

    Fact Check

    Did Wilhelm Reich invent a way to cure cancer and many other ailments -- simply by sitting a patient in an "Orgone Accumulator" box for a few sessions?

    Fact Check

    Was PepsiCo ever the "6th most powerful military in the world"? No, that's not true: A University of Massachusetts Amherst professor tells Lead Stories, "The statement is false on several details." While portions of this claim have been reported since at least 1989 as historically accurate, there are details surrounding it that were not clarified until at least 2018. The…

  • Fact Check: NO Evidence COVID-19 Vaccines Cause Monkeypox, Shingles

    Fact Check

    Do COVID-19 vaccines cause monkeypox and shingles? No, that's not true: There's no evidence that either disease is caused by the shot for COVID. Both monkeypox and shingles are caused by specific viruses, neither of which are included in COVID-19 vaccines. But, even if the viruses were the same, the COVID shots still couldn't cause infection. "Because none of the…

  • Fact Check: NO Evidence That Bill Gates Is Behind Monkeypox Outbreak -- Recorded Remarks Taken Out Of Context

    Fact Check

    Is Bill Gates behind the 2022 monkeypox outbreak? No, that's not true: The claim wildly misconstrues a November 2021 comment Gates made about pandemic preparedness. He was discussing the possibility of simulating a smallpox attack in order to build global readiness.
