    Fact Check

    Did Dr. Robert Malone correctly claim in a speech that COVID-19 vaccines are not working, that they cause infertility and that vaccine makers are protected legally while families are not?

    Fact Check

    Did researchers discover "various foreign objects" -- like worms hatching from eggs -- in the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine? No, that's not true: None of the listed ingredients in the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine are intentionally harmful. The claim, which originated in this article published January 8, 2022, by the RAIR Foundation, reappeared in an article (archived here) published by Liberty Planet…

  • Fact Check: Covid Boosters Are NOT Weakening Immune System -- European Agency Says Remarks Were 'Misunderstood'

    Fact Check

    Are COVID-19 boosters weakening the immune system? No, that's not true: Articles and social media reports saying that Marco Cavaleri, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) vaccine strategy chief, fears repeated booster shots would weaken the immune system are incorrect.

  • Fact Check: Hackers Did NOT 'Crack' Pfizer, Moderna Servers And Reveal Vaccine Death Data

    Fact Check

    Did hackers "crack" the servers of COVID-19 vaccine makers Pfizer and Moderna and reveal vaccine death data from those companies? No, that's not true: The data used to make that claim is from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), a database that keeps a record of reported but often unconfirmed adverse effects. VAERS data does not prove a correlation…

  • Fact Check: Meme Does NOT Paint Accurate Picture Of Effectiveness Of COVID-19 Vaccines

    Fact Check

    Does this meme paint an accurate picture of the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines? No, that's not true: Although what we know about the virus and the vaccines has changed over time, scientists and public health experts continue to say that vaccines work, especially with respect to the risk of severe illness and death.

  • Fact Check: COVID-19 Vaccines Are NOT Full Of Exclusive Nanotechnology To Create 'Slave Species'

    Fact Check

    Are COVID-19 vaccines full of exclusive nanotechnology to create a "slave species"? No, that's not true: Anti-vaccination group La Quinta Columna (The Fifth Column) provides no proof for its claims that COVID vaccines contain nanotechnology. Patents and ingredient lists for the vaccines do not show any of the "NanoRouters ... Nano-Antennas and Plasmonic Antennas" alleged to be in them. The…

  • Fact Check: Misinterpreted CDC Director Quote About 75% COVID Deaths With 4+ Comorbidities Was About Vaccinated People

    Fact Check

    Did Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "confess" that over 75% of COVID deaths occurred in people with at least four comorbidities? No, that's not true: The percentage is correct but extremely important context is missing. All of the 1.2 million people in the study from December 2020 to October 2021 were fully vaccinated.…

  • Fact Check: 1986 Act NOT Violated by Vaccine Makers Pointing Out VAERS Errors

    Fact Check

    Are vaccine makers violating federal law when they point out there are duplicate reports, mistaken claims of causality and other flaws in the federal government's Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS)?

    Fact Check

    Did the CEO of Pfizer, Albert Bourla, recently explain why he hasn't gotten the COVID-19 vaccine yet? No, that's not true: The video in this post is an outdated interview from 2020.

    Fact Check

    Does the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination do more harm than good? No, that's not true: The video by the Canadian Covid Care Alliance (CCCA) in the Rumble post saying so recycles many previously debunked claims about the COVID vaccine.
