  • 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: Airlines In Spain and Russia Are NOT Recommending Vaccinated People Should Not Travel -- But Boy, Did This Rumor Travel

    Fact Check

    Did airlines in Spain and Russia recommend vaccinated people not travel due to the risk of blood clots? No, that's not true: the rumor was based on a debunked story that apparently traveled from a Telegram channel to a Dutch website before being picked up by a site in Russia that was then used as a source for an article…

  • 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: 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…

  • Fact Check: Dr. Vernon Coleman Does NOT Give 'Proof The COVID-19 Jabs Should Be Stopped Now'

    Fact Check

    Does Dr. Vernon Coleman give proof COVID-19 "jabs should be stopped now"? No, that's not true: He offers no evidence for why the COVID-19 vaccines should be stopped and cites unverified statistics about deaths from the vaccines. As of this writing on June 1, 2021, there have been no documented deaths due to the Pfizer, Moderna or J&J/Janssen vaccines. The…

  • Fact Check: Video Promising To Blow The Lid Off COVID-19 Vaccines Does NOT Stick To True And Verified Statements

    Fact Check

    Does a video promising to blow the lid off COVID-19 vaccines present only true and verified statements? No, that's not true: It makes claims about vaccine-related deaths that are not proven. The video also questions why pregnant women and people who have recovered from COVID-19 would get the vaccine, ignoring what most medical experts say about those groups. Finally, it…

  • Fact Check: Video About COVID-19 Vaccines Is Mash-Up Of False And Unproven Claims

    Fact Check

    Does a video about COVID-19 vaccines and their supposed side effects contain only factual and proven statements? No, that's not true: It's a mash-up of false, unproven and cherry-picked claims. Among the allegations are that the vaccines are not FDA-approved, that they could kill you, alter your genetic code and cause a severe allergic reaction. The first three claims are…

  • Fact Check: Life Insurers Will NOT Penalize Claimants Who Have Taken COVID-19 Vaccine

    Fact Check

    Is life insurance unavailable for a claimant who passes away due to taking an "experimental" COVID-19 vaccine? No, that's not true: COVID-19 vaccines have been approved for emergency use authorization (EUA) and life insurers do not penalize claimants who have received these vaccines. The claim appeared in an Instagram post (archived here) published on May 19, 2021. The text in…

  • Fact Check: CDC Did NOT Document 3,848 Deaths Due To COVID Injections

    Fact Check

    Did a federal agency document 3,848 deaths due to COVID-19 vaccinations? No, that's not true: The claim exploits the government's rough list of unverified reports collected by the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Anyone can submit a report to VAERS. The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) monitors incoming items and, if patterns emerge, investigates them. In releasing…
