  • Fact Check: CDC Did NOT Admit COVID-19 Vaccines Are A 'Depopulation Kill Plan'

    Fact Check

    Did the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) admit that COVID-19 vaccines were created as part of a "depopulation kill plan"? No, that's not true: The CDC has never described COVID vaccine programs as a "depopulation plan." There is no record of the health agency having made this statement, and an article claiming as much did not cite any…

  • Fact Check: CDC Reports Do NOT Show More Than 16,000 People Have Died Because Of COVID Vaccination

    Fact Check

    Has the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recorded more than 16,000 people who have died within a few days of taking the COVID-19 vaccine where the deaths were proven to have been caused by the vaccine? No, that's not true: Only nine deaths of some 18,500 preliminary reports of death have been causally associated with vaccination for coronavirus.…

    Fact Check: CDC Reports Do NOT Show More Than 16,000 People Have Died Because Of COVID Vaccination Few Deaths
  • Fact Check: COVID Vaccine Data Do NOT Show Increased Risk Of Serious Adverse Events Of Special Interest In Randomized Trials

    Fact Check

    Does a reanalysis of Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccine data show an increased risk of serious adverse events of special interest? No, that's not true: The authors of this study created their own subset of serious adverse events of special interest (AESI), which give the appearance of there being a strong correlation between them and the vaccines when, in…

  • Fact Check: CDC Report Does NOT Reveal Over 1 Million Americans Have 'Died Suddenly' Since COVID Vaccine Roll-Out, Another Government Report Does NOT Prove Vaccines Are To Blame

    Fact Check

    Does a "secret" CDC report reveal that at least 1.1 million Americans have "Died Suddenly" since the COVID-19 vaccine roll-out? Does a separate government report from the United Kingdom prove the vaccines are to blame? No, that's not true: There's no evidence to connect COVID vaccinations to the deaths. Simply because these people received COVID shots and later died doesn't…

  • Fact Check: Movie 'Died Suddenly' Does NOT Demonstrate That COVID-19 Vaccines Cause Sudden Death

    Fact Check

    Does the movie "Died Suddenly" demonstrate that COVID-19 vaccinations cause widespread sudden death or severe medical outcomes? No, that's not true: The film recycles previously debunked claims that the vaccine is lethal or dangerous for the average person receiving it. More than 5.45 billion people have been vaccinated worldwide and public health experts recommend immunization against the virus, saying it…

  • Fact Check: COVID-19 Vaccine Does NOT Increase Stillbirths As Graph Implies

    Fact Check

    Does a graph show that the COVID-19 vaccine increases stillbirths? No, that is missing context: The graph was published on the U.S. government's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) website. As VAERS itself repeatedly explains, its purpose is to collect a wide-open, likely repetitive, messy and incomplete list of anecdotal, amateur, professional and even malicious reports of post-vaccination problems.The graph…

  • 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: MRNA COVID Vaccines Are NOT So Risky That Vaccinations Should Stop

    Fact Check

    Do mRNA COVID vaccines pose a significant health risk to recipients that warrants halting vaccination while global policies for COVID-19 are reappraised? Was insufficient testing performed on the vaccines prior to their public release? No, none of those are true: There's no evidence that mRNA COVID vaccines are unsafe for the general population. A professor of epidemiology told Lead Stories…

  • Fact Check: NO Evidence Drinking Breast Milk Containing Vaccine mRNA Killed 6 Babies

    Fact Check

    Did six babies die after drinking breast milk that contained traces of a mRNA COVID-19 vaccine? No, that's not true: There is no evidence to support such claims and alleged cases are unverifiable. In September 2022, vaccine skeptics misrepresented a research letter published in the medical journal JAMA Pediatrics to seed doubt about the safety and efficacy of COVID vaccines.…

  • Fact Check: COVID-19 Vaccines Are NOT '98 Times Worse Than The Virus' -- Benefits 'Far Outweigh The Risk Of Serious Health Effects'

    Fact Check

    Are COVID-19 vaccines 98 times worse than the virus itself? No, that's not true: There's no evidence to suggest that getting sick with coronavirus is a better option for the population as a whole than the benefits of immunization. While a pre-print (non-peer-reviewed) draft of an article discusses the ethics of vaccine booster mandates for university students and their possible…
