  • Fact Check: Uttar Pradesh Did NOT Drop COVID Cases To Zero In 71 out 75 Districts In 24 Hours After Implementing Ivermectin Protocol

    Fact Check

    Did COVID-19 cases in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh (UP) drop in 71 out of 75 districts 24 hours after implementing ivermectin protocol? No, that's not true. While coronavirus cases plummeted in UP after peaking in late April 2021, it didn't happen in a day's time and appeared to have nothing to do with the anti-parasitic medicine. It came…

  • Fact Check: NO Evidence 250,000 Vaxxed Americans Are Dead From COVID-19 Vaccine

    Fact Check

    Have 250,000 deaths been caused by the COVID-19 vaccine in the United States? No, that's not true: There is no proof that 250,000 deaths have been caused by receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. In a video, Dr. Zev Zelenko shares no evidence of hundreds of thousands of people dying from the COVID vaccine, only citing a debunked claim by a "whistleblower"…

  • Fact Check: Peter Breggin Article Contains False Claims About VAERS Data, Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, SARS-CoV-2 Virus

    Fact Check

    Are Peter Breggin's claims about COVID-19 vaccine deaths, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine and the SARS-CoV-2 virus all correct? No, that's not true: In describing a conspiracy's bid for global dominion, Breggin misstates the clearly labelled contents of the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System database, falsely claims ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine are proven effective against COVID and falsely declares no SARS-CoV virus has been…

  • Fact Check: Zelenko 'Vaccine Death Report' Does NOT Show Credible Data -- It Rehashes Disproven COVID Vaccine Claims

    Fact Check

    Does a 52-page pdf entitled, "The Vaccine Death Report" show how dangerous and deadly COVID-19 vaccines are? No, that's not true: This document contains an international cast of claims that have already been debunked. The vaccine disinformation in this collection carries with it a secondary level of baseless conspiratorial beliefs underpinning most of the talking points that are summarized at…

  • Fact Check: COVID Vaccine Is Not Rated 'Toxic,' No Evidence For 'Eugenics' Conspiracy Theory

    Fact Check

    Are COVID vaccines toxic and did mysterious "globalists" seek to kill off the weak and enslave the rest of the world's population by triggering the pandemic? No, that's not true: Both are recycled conspiracy theories, being repeated in a sales pitch to sell anti-COVID vitamins. The claims are supported not with evidence, but with far-fetched interpretation of current events. Hundreds…

  • Fact Check: 'Scientifically Speaking,' The Vaccinated Are NOT The Disease Vectors 'Spreading The Mutant Variants' of COVID-19

    Fact Check

    Are people vaccinated against COVID-19 "superspreaders," serving as the transmitting vectors for the virus that caused the midsummer 2021 increase in hospitalizations, and did the delta variant and other new forms of the SARS-CoV-2 virus arise in the vaccinated population? No, neither claim is true: The poisons expert who made the claims provided no vaccinology research, virology nor infectious disease…

  • Fact Check: ICU Nurse Offers NO Proof Ivermectin Is Effective At Treating COVID-19

    Fact Check

    Does an ICU nurse give proof that ivermectin is effective at treating COVID-19? No, that's not true: Ivermectin, which is frequently used to treat or prevent parasites in animals, is not approved for treating or preventing COVID-19 in humans. In fact, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) specifically warns people not to take it for those reasons. The person who…

    Fact Check

    Does a doctor prove he has cured thousands of COVID-19 patients with chlorine dioxide? No, that's not true. A doctor who made the claim offers no evidence or details about the people he says he has saved from the disease with the toxic chemical. Chlorine dioxide is a disinfectant and is not a "cure or treatment for medical ailments." The…

  • Fact Check: Draft Research About Hydroxychloroquine As COVID-19 Drug Does NOT Yet Warrant Calling It A Cure

    Fact Check

    Does a draft research paper refute the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ban on using hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19, and does it prove the anti-malarial is a life-saving drug for COVID-19 patients? No, that's not yet true: The website where the "preprint" paper was released cautions that this early in the process, research reports may still contain errors and put…

    Fact Check

    Does a video about COVID-19 present only factual and proven statements about the disease and the COVID-19 vaccines? No, that's not true: It recycles claims that have been disproven and leaves out important context. For example, the video alleges that the vaccines aren't really vaccines, that they're experimental, that certain therapies exist to prevent COVID-19 and that the PCR tests…
