  • Fact Check: 'Real Math' Of COVID-19 Vaccine Efficacy Is NOT Accurate -- Vaccine Risk Reduction and Deaths Are Misinterpreted

    Fact Check

    Does the "real math" of COVID-19 vaccine efficacy suggest that vaccine risk reduction and death figures point to the inefficacy of the vaccines? No, that's not true: A video makes false claims about the findings of a short comment published in The Lancet medical journal and misuses rough reports about vaccine reactions in exactly the way the reporting database warns…

  • Fact Check: NO Evidence 250,000 Vaxxed Americans Are Dead From COVID-19 Vaccine

    Fact Check

    Have 250,000 deaths been caused by the COVID-19 vaccine in the United States? No, that's not true: There is no proof that 250,000 deaths have been caused by receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. In a video, Dr. Zev Zelenko shares no evidence of hundreds of thousands of people dying from the COVID vaccine, only citing a debunked claim by a "whistleblower"…

  • Fact Check: NO Evidence Of 'Epidemic Of Plane Crashes Linked To COVID-19 Jab'

    Fact Check

    Is there an "epidemic of plane crashes linked to [the] COVID-19 jab"? No, that's not true: There's no documentation to back up the statement that there is an "epidemic" of crashes, much less one crash caused by COVID-19 vaccines. A video making the claim relies on a recent California crash, the cause of which has not yet been determined. A…

  • Fact Check: 48,000 Did NOT Die Within 14 days Of COVID-19 Vaccination, And There Is NO 'Medicare Tracking System'

    Fact Check

    Did more than 48,000 people die within 14 days of receiving COVID-19 vaccines, according to data revealed in the "Medicare Tracking System"? No, that's not true: There is no evidence that there have been that many deaths caused by COVID vaccines in the U.S. and the vaccines are considered safe and effective. Plus, there is no "Medicare Tracking System," a…

  • Fact Check: FDA Approval Of COVID-19 Vaccine Is NOT Illegal; 'Doctor' Does NOT Prove 'Criminal' FDA Regulation Violations

    Fact Check

    Is the FDA approval of the COVID-19 vaccine illegal, and does a "doctor" prove the Pfizer informational insert with its vaccine shows criminal regulation violations? No, that's not true: The claims made on the Stew Peters show by a guest without a medical degree are recycled conspiracy theories and false claims about the COVID-19 vaccine that Lead Stories has previously…

  • Fact Check: Vaccinated And Unvaccinated People Do NOT Face The Same Risks From COVID-19

    Fact Check

    Do vaccinated and unvaccinated people face the same risks from COVID-19? No, that's not true: People who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 have substantially better outcomes. They are much less likely than unvaccinated people to get sick and, if they do, they are less likely to experience severe illness. Although no shot is 100% effective, COVID-19 vaccines are widely considered…

  • Fact Check: NO Evidence For Article's Claims Vaccine Is Causing Heart Damage, May Kill Some Within 3 Years

    Fact Check

    Is InfoWars providing evidence-based information when it reports a doctor's claim that COVID-19 vaccines likely cause permanent heart damage in most patients that may kill some within three years? No, that's not true: The report is based on a Lytton, British Columbia family practitioner's video that provides no reviewable data about his patients' other medical conditions, data on parallel examination…

  • Fact Check: Doctors Are NOT Giving Men Estrogen Patches To Treat COVID-19 Because Women Fight The Virus Better

    Fact Check

    Are doctors giving men estrogen patches to treat COVID-19 since women are better at fighting the virus? No, that's misleading. An article published by the New York Times with the online headline "Women are better at fighting COVID-19, so doctors are giving men estrogen patches," was published in April 2020 -- at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. The article…

  • 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

    Did the first case of postmortem study of a patient vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 find viral RNA in every organ of the body? No, that's not true: Researchers found viral RNA in seven of the nine organs they analyzed. "This is not even the majority of all human organs," the study's authors wrote to Lead Stories. The claim was one of…
