  • Fact Check: Scientists Do NOT Prove 93% Of People Who Died After COVID Vaccination Were Killed By Vaccine

    Fact Check

    Did scientists prove that 93% of the people who died after being vaccinated for COVID-19 were killed by the vaccine? No, that's not true: The non-peer-reviewed paper by two scientists, Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi and Dr. Arne Burkhardt, provides no proof for its claims and uses a tiny sample size of just 15 people to draw its conclusions. A professional peer…

  • 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)? No, that's not true: The law cited by the person making the claim includes no such penalty provision. VAERS, set up by Congress to help improve vaccine safety by…

  • Fact Check: Pfizer COVID Inoculations Are NOT Doing 'More Harm Than Good' As Canadian Anti-Vaccine Group's Presentation Charges

    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. The Pfizer shot (BNT162b2) received full approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on August 23, 2021, for people 16 and…

  • Fact Check: COVID-19 Vaccines Are NOT 'Deadly Experimental Shot'

    Fact Check

    Are the injections against COVID-19 "deadly experimental shots" and not vaccines? No, that's not true: Medical science classifies all three injected preventatives as vaccines and former President Donald Trump, whose Operation Warp Speed set records in vaccine development, has repeatedly urged the vaccine-hesitant to get the shot as he did, calling it a vaccine. The three vaccines in use in…

  • Fact Check: Vaccination Death Rate Is NOT 2.905% In FDA Data

    Fact Check

    Is the COVID-19 "vaccination death rate" discovered in FDA data 2.905%? No, that's not true: The numbers used are not from the Food and Drug Administration, they're from an analysis of adverse event reports prepared by Pfizer for the FDA that were made public as part of a lawsuit. The claim misrepresents numbers published in the report to erroneously come…

    Fact Check: Vaccination Death Rate Is NOT 2.905% In FDA Data Bad Math
  • Fact Check: CDC Does NOT Admit Vaccinated Parents Are Killing Unvaccinated Kids

    Fact Check

    Did the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention admit that parents vaccinated for COVID-19 are killing their unvaccinated children? No, that's not true: The claim is made by a non-scientist citing a paper that mixes vaccination information from Europe and Israel with CDC material from a database of vaccinated patients' unverified adverse events reports. The CDC has explicitly warned against…

  • Fact Check: CDC Did NOT Admit COVID-19 Vax Causes More Heart Inflammation Cases Than Previously Stated

    Fact Check

    Did the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) admit that COVID-19 vaccines cause more instances of carditis, or heart inflammation, than the agency has previously stated? No, that's not true: Such a claim pulls numbers from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Conditions reported to VAERS after a vaccination do not automatically prove a causal relationship between the…

  • Fact Check: NO Evidence That 45,000 People Died From COVID-19 Vaccine

    Fact Check

    Have 45,000 people died as a result of receiving the COVID-19 vaccine? No, there's no evidence of that: The number is a guesstimate from an anonymous "whistleblower" who relied on data from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), which is a collection of unverified reports. She did not provide the statistical model for calculating her claim. The claim appeared…

  • Fact Check: Vaccines Do NOT Pose 7 Times Higher Death Risk Than COVID For People In 20s

    Fact Check

    Do vaccines pose a seven times higher risk of death than COVID for people in their 20s? No, that's not true: The authors of a Japanese medical bulletin provide no clear evidence of deaths due to the vaccine to establish a ratio with deaths because of the virus. A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study also says "vaccinated…

  • Fact Check: Most Of 158,000 'Adverse Events' In Pfizer Data Common Side Effects, Not Deadly

    Fact Check

    Do records from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) subpoenaed by an attorney show over 158,000 adverse "events" in the first 2½ months of COVID-19 shot trials? Yes, but that number is misleading. While "158,000 adverse events" were noted in Pfizer documents released as part of a lawsuit, that doesn't mean there were 158,000 serious effects in people who received…
