  • Fact Check: Pfizer Vaccine Clinical Trial NOT Intended To Test Transmission Prevention -- That's Not How Clinical Trials Work

    Fact Check

    Did a Pfizer representative "admit" the company erred when its COVID-19 vaccine was "never tested on preventing transmission" of the virus during clinical trials? No, that's not true. Vaccine clinical trials for drug approval are not meant to test that. Clinical trials are intended to check the safety and efficacy of new drugs and vaccines before they are approved for…

  • Fact Check: V-Safe CDC Data Does NOT Prove 'Stunning Amount' Of 'Severe' COVID-19 Vaccine Side Effects

    Fact Check

    Does a "massive study" of "v-safe" data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) prove that the COVID-19 vaccine caused a "stunning amount" of severe side effects? No, that's not true: No such study occurred, and no reputable scientific or medical institution has published a wide-scale "study" to establish causation between vaccination and self-reported vaccine adverse events…

  • Fact Check: This Video Does NOT Confirm That Vaccines Are 'Mind Control Neuroweapon' That 'Can React To 5G Towers'

    Fact Check

    Did Karen Kingston present the new evidence confirming that vaccines against COVID-19 are a "mind control neuroweapon" that "can react to 5G towers"? No, that's not true. She only repeated the false claims previously debunked by Lead Stories, "supporting" them with unrelated quotes taken out of context. The claim originated from a fragment of the Stew Peters show (archived here)…

  • Fact Check: Pfizer's COVID Vaccine Does NOT Cause 'Astonishing Drop In Male Fertility' -- Sperm Count Dip Is Temporary

    Fact Check

    Does the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine cause an "Astonishing Drop in Male Fertility"? No, that's not true: The shot temporarily lowers sperm count, much the same as after a "simple viral infection," according to Itai Gat, one of the authors of a study published June 17, 2022, that looked into the connection. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also said…

  • Fact Check: It's NOT 'Statistically IMPOSSIBLE' To Administer Billions Of COVID Vaccine Doses Since Pandemic Started

    Fact Check

    Is it "Statistically IMPOSSIBLE" to have administered the billions of COVID-19 vaccine shots that have been provided around the world? No, that's not true: There's no evidence to suggest the global health care community isn't up to the task of delivering what Our World In Data, a website run by the United Kingdom's University of Oxford, says is 12.76 billion…

  • Fact Check: This Video Does NOT Prove That NASA Confirmed That Vaccinated People Are 'No Longer Human'

    Fact Check

    Has NASA classified people vaccinated against COVID-19 as "Homo Borg Genesis"? No, that's not true: This term cannot be found in any of the agency's publicly available documents, and NASA's representative told Lead Stories the agency hasn't changed "the classification of humans." The claim appeared in a video published on October 3, 2022, by redvoicemedia.com, a website that describes itself…

  • Fact Check: Graphene, Parasites NOT Found In COVID-19 Vaccines By Robert Young With Electron Microscopy

    Fact Check

    Does a paper by Robert O. Young show that he conducted electron microscopy analysis on each of the four COVID-19 vaccines available in the United States and confirmed that there was graphene and parasites in all of them? No, that's not true: Graphene is not an ingredient in any of these vaccines. Analysis of the photos appearing in Young's paper…

  • Fact Check: COVID-19 Vaccines Do NOT Contain Graphene Oxide

    Fact Check

    Do any of the COVID-19 vaccines approved for use in the United States contain graphene oxide? No, that's not true: Graphene oxide is not listed as an ingredient in any of the four COVID-19 vaccines available in the U.S. There is no publicly available credible evidence demonstrating graphene oxide is in any of the vaccines. The claim that graphene oxide…

    Fact Check

    Did hospitals force the vaccination of millions of children for COVID-19 and are they now trying to normalize a rare side effect? No, that's not true: Hospitals do not have that kind of power and less than a handful of states have mandated COVID shots before kids can attend school. There's also no evidence to suggest that the health care…

    Fact Check

    Does the U.S. government own or co-own Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine, giving it an "ulterior motive" for mandating the shots? No, that's not true: There is no evidence to support this claim. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which collaborated with Moderna on the shot, told Lead Stories in a September 28, 2022 email that it "neither owns…
