  • Fact Check: Essay Offers NO Verified Proof Vaccines Cause Two Deaths For Every Three Covid Cases Prevented

    Fact Check

    Does material plucked from the European Union's list of reports of possible drug reactions justify an essay's claim that vaccine side effects have killed two people for every three who were saved from dying of COVID-19? No, that's not true: The essay did not pass through customary scientific peer review and editing. Staff members of the journal it appeared in…

    Fact Check: Essay Offers NO Verified Proof Vaccines Cause Two Deaths For Every Three Covid Cases Prevented Oversells Data
  • Fact Check: Video Is NOT Correct That VAERS List Of Adverse Reaction Reports Is Data That Proves COVID Vaccine Caused Deaths

    Fact Check

    Is this video correct in its claim that the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Report System (VAERS) delivers data proving 6,000 people were killed by COVID vaccines? No, that's not true: The VAERS website repeatedly warns users against making faulty assumptions based on the VAERS list of reports. As the VAERS webpage itself explains, the list of reports is a wide-open,…

  • Fact Check: This Blog Post Does NOT Prove 25,800 Deaths Were Caused By The mRNA Vaccines Against COVID-19

    Fact Check

    Does this blog post prove 25,800 people have died of reactions to COVID vaccines? No, that's not true: The claim recycles an oft-rebuked misuse of the U.S. government's unverified list of vaccine reaction reports called VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System). Multiple peer-reviewed studies by medical doctors and infectious disease Ph.D.s have found the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines both effective and…

  • Fact Check: There Is NO Consensus Acceptance Of Untested Assertion The Spike Protein Created By mRNA COVID Vaccine Is 'Very Dangerous'

    Fact Check

    Is this video correct in suggesting there's a "we know" consensus that mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 cause the body to create "very dangerous" toxic proteins? No, that's not true: There's no peer-reviewed medical study proving this assertion has been accepted. The CDC rejects the claim, saying there is no medical evidence to support it. Part of the claim rests on…

  • Fact Check: NO Evidence Gas & Oil Company HR Execs Say Firms Are Planning To Have Their Vaccinated Staff Replaced Within Next 3 Years

    Fact Check

    Are gas and oil company HR executives saying their firms are planning to have their vaccinated staff replaced within the next three years? No, that's not true. There is no evidence that the large oil and gas companies are going through their employee lists and taking note of who has received the COVID-19 vaccine and then planning for their replacement…

  • Fact Check: The CDC Did NOT Discontinue COVID Vaccination For Those Under Age 30, Did NOT 'Acknowledge' Heart Risks To Young People

    Fact Check

    Must public health agencies discontinue COVID-19 vaccinations for people under age 30 because federal authorities "acknowledge" heart risks to young people? No, that's not true. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has noted that among the 165 million people who, by late May, received at least one dose, a few dozen reported non-fatal heart inflammation. CDC investigators have…

  • Fact Check: CDC's VAERS 'Reports' Are NOT Solid Proof of Vaccine Injuries Or Deaths -- Just Starting Point for CDC, FDA Investigators

    Fact Check

    Does the government's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) provide data or reports that prove the COVID-19 vaccine or other vaccines have caused injuries or deaths? No, that's not true: As the VAERS webpage itself repeatedly explains, its purpose is to collect a wide-open, likely repetitive, messy and incomplete list of anyone's anecdotal, amateur, professional and even malicious reports of…

  • Fact Check: Airlines Did NOT Discuss Banning Vaccinated Passengers

    Fact Check

    Is there a "risk of clots" from accepting people vaccinated for COVID-19 alongside the nonvaccinated as airline passengers, and are airlines afraid of the liability and holding meetings to discuss the risks? No, that's not true: There is no publicly available evidence of such a meeting and the claim is posted without proof of one. Those vaccinated cannot "shed" or…

  • Fact Check: NO Evidence 920 Women Lost Their Unborn Babies After Getting Vaccinated

    Fact Check

    Did 920 women lose their unborn babies after getting vaccinated? No, there's no evidence that's true: A post making the claim says the data is from the United Kingdom but does not cite a source. It further claims that 571 women in the United States had a miscarriage after getting the COVID-19 shot. For that number, the post relies on…

  • Fact Check: 31,000 People Have NOT Died From mRNA Vaccines

    Fact Check

    Have 31,000 people died from messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines? No, that's not true: The first mRNA vaccines approved for use in humans are two of the COVID-19 vaccines, which had not been causally linked to any deaths at the time of writing, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The claim appeared in an Instagram post…
