    Fact Check

    Are Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccines associated with an increased risk of serious adverse events of special interest?

  • Fact Check: Canada Did NOT Publish Data That 'Suggests' People Triple-Vaccinated For COVID-19 Get Sicker, Develop Vaccine-Associated Enhanced Disease

    Fact Check

    Did the Canadian government publish data suggesting those triple-vaccinated against COVID-19 develop vaccine-associated enhanced disease (VAED) or antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) and have higher COVID case rates than others? No, that's not true: The data does not show COVID vaccines make people worse. Instead, people who have had them are better protected from severe illness, hospitalization and death.

    Fact Check

    Did a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study find COVID-19 vaccination increases the risk of suffering autoimmune disease myocarditis by 13,200%? No, that's not true: The study never mentions autoimmune myocarditis, which is an extremely rare condition.

  • Fact Check: UK Agency Did NOT Publish Data Suggesting People Triple-Vaccinated For COVID-19 Are Developing A New Form Of AIDS

    Fact Check

    Did the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) publish data suggesting that triple vaccinated people in England are developing a new form of AIDS? No, that's not true: The data does not show immune systems being destroyed by COVID-19 vaccines but instead how vaccine efficacy wanes over time. COVID vaccines boost the ability of our bodies to fight coronavirus. They do…

  • Fact Check: Pfizer Documents Do NOT Reveal Vaccinated People Transfer COVID Shot To Unvaccinated Through Inhalation, Skin Contact

    Fact Check

    Do Pfizer documents reveal vaccinated people will transfer their COVID-19 shots to the unvaccinated through inhalation and skin contact? No, that's not true: The claim is based on the standard clinical study protocol used for a wide range of medicines. There is no publicly available evidence the mRNA COVID vaccines cause vaccinated persons to cast off excess spike proteins. The…

  • Fact Check: Pfizer Document Does NOT List Thousands Of Side Effects From COVID Vaccine -- It's Required List Of Potential Side Effects

    Fact Check

    Does a Pfizer document list thousands of side effects from its COVID-19 vaccine? No, that's not true: The nine pages of potential side effects are part of a government-required adverse event (AE) report prepared by the pharmaceutical company. It's not meant to be a list of the expected side effects from the shot, but instead, "expert groups and regulatory authorities"…

  • Fact Check: Scientists Did NOT Lie About Isolating The Virus That Causes COVID-19

    Fact Check

    Did scientists fraudulently claim that they had isolated and sequenced viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19? No, that's not true: The SARS-CoV-2 virus has been independently isolated and sequenced by multiple scientists around the world since January 7, 2020. Claims that the virus has never been isolated have circulated since vaccines for COVID-19 were introduced in early 2020, including in…

  • 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: Evidence Does NOT Support Quantum Entanglement Claims By Anti-Vaccine Activist Sherri Tenpenny

    Fact Check

    Did Dr. Sherri Tenpenny make a case that the COVID-19 pandemic, treatments and mitigation efforts are a global government plot to kill people -- a "democide" -- or a plot to transform people into genetically modified "transhumans" who are externally controlled and without God?

  • 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…
