  • Fact Check: COVID-19 Vaccines Are NOT Causing 'Young And Fit Women Under 40' To Die From Blood Clots

    Fact Check

    Are "young and fit women under 40" dying from blood clots that are caused by the COVID-19 vaccine? No, that's not true: The screengrab of the article posted is missing the context -- that the article was about a study in Scotland that ended before COVID vaccines were available to the public. The claim appeared in an Instagram post by…

  • Fact Check: COVID Vaccines Not To Blame For Blood Clot Risk

    Fact Check

    Are COVID-19 vaccines to blame for "urgent warnings" about blood clots from Pfizer and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)? No, that's not true: Both the CDC and Pfizer have promoted such campaigns since 2015. Blood clots are not uncommon, even for the healthiest athletes. The CDC says "approximately 5% to 8% of the U.S. population has one…

    Fact Check

    Was 2022 the first time the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention talked about blood clots ahead of the Super Bowl? No, that's not true: The CDC also publicized blood clots in connection with the NFL championship on Twitter before the 2020 game. The agency has regularly posted about the condition on social media for more than a decade. The…

  • Fact Check: Pfizer Document Does NOT Admit Shots May Cause Vaccine-Associated Enhanced Disease -- Real-World Data Do NOT Support It

    Fact Check

    Does Pfizer admit in confidential documents that its COVID-19 vaccine may cause vaccine-associated enhanced disease (VAED)? No, that's not true: The document, called 5.3.6 CUMULATIVE ANALYSIS OF POST-AUTHORIZATION ADVERSE EVENT REPORTS OF PF-07302048 (BNT162B2) RECEIVED THROUGH 28-FEB-2021, lists VAED under "Important Potential Risk," but also notes, "No post-authorized AE [adverse event] reports have been identified as cases of VAED ...,…

    Fact Check

    Are thrombosis deaths in the United Kingdom 500% to 600% greater than in any of the last 14 years? No, that's not true: The UK's Office of National Statistics (ONS) says there's no evidence of an increase in thrombosis deaths in 2021. In addition, a funeral director making the claim provides no evidence to support his assertion that he says…

  • Fact Check: There Is NO Evidence COVID Vaccines Damage Children's Brains, Jeopardize Reproduction, Generate Toxins

    Fact Check

    Do COVID-19 vaccines for children fail risk/benefit analysis, permanently damaging children's brains and reproductive systems to prevent a harmless infection? No, that's not true: The claim is made without scientific evidence to support it and in the face of data showing some children are killed and seriously sickened by COVID. Meanwhile, the consensus of published, peer-reviewed and field tested expert…

  • Fact Check: Pilot Deaths Are NOT 'Up 1700% After Vax Mandates'

    Fact Check

    Are pilot deaths up 1,700% after vax mandates? No, that's not true: The erroneous claim is based on an "In Memoriam" list that was published in the Air Line Pilots Association magazine that shows that more pilots died in 2021 than in 2020 and 2019. "The information in one magazine edition does not provide a complete report of the total…

    Fact Check

    Is it false to blame blood clots and heart issues on cold weather and stress?

  • Fact Check: NO Evidence Symptoms Of The Omicron Variant Used To Cover Up Effects of COVID Vaccines

    Fact Check

    Are symptoms of the omicron variant being used to cover up effects of COVID-19 vaccines? No, there is no evidence that there is a cover-up of COVID vaccine adverse effects via symptoms of the new omicron variant. An article making that claim gives no scientific, medical or reputably published proof. It also repeats a false claim that 183 professional athletes…

  • Fact Check: This Video By Dr. Richard Fleming Does NOT Prove Pfizer's COVID-19 Vaccine 'Attacks Human Blood, Creating Clots'

    Fact Check

    Does Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine attack human blood and cause dangerous clots? No, there's no publicly available evidence to support the claim. There is no website at the address the video maker sends viewers to for details on the blood exam. The Food & Drug Administration in 2009 barred this video's maker, Dr. Richard Fleming, from working with anyone seeking FDA…
