  • Fact Check: Report From German Government Agency Does NOT Show Majority Of Omicron Cases Are In Vaccinated People

    Fact Check

    Does a report from the German public health agency Robert Koch Institute (RKI) show that 95% of those infected with the omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus are vaccinated? No, that's not true: This calculation is based on incomplete data published in a weekly report by RKI on December 30, 2021, that included vaccination status for only about half the…

  • Fact Check: Statistic Does NOT Paint Complete Picture Of Risks Associated With COVID-19, Vaccines

    Fact Check

    Does the claim that one in 100 vaccinated individuals were admitted to the hospital or died with heart issues tell the whole story? No, that's not true: The claim is based on a study that concluded the absolute risk of myocarditis -- inflammation of the heart muscle -- following COVID-19 vaccination is very low in the general population. By contrast,…

  • Fact Check: Stillbirths Are NOT Rampant Among Fully Vaccinated Mothers

    Fact Check

    Are stillbirths rampant among fully vaccinated mothers? No, that's not true. The claim that there is a spike in stillbirths among mothers who had received a full COVID-19 vaccine is not supported by any evidence. It was made by a doctor in Canada and was denied by two Canadian health care organizations, and is the opposite of statistics published by…

  • Fact Check: European Medicines Agency Data DOES Show More Than 1.1 Million Adverse Drug Reactions And More Than 30,000 Fatalities By COVID-19 Vaccinations -- But All Are Unverified

    Fact Check

    Does European Medicines Agency data show more than 1.1 million adverse drug reactions and more than 30,000 deaths by COVID-19 vaccinations? Yes, that's true: Those numbers are found in EudraVigilance, the European Union's database of suspected adverse drug reaction reports. But the numbers don't tell the full story as the meaning of EudraVigilance reports is unclear because the numbers are…

  • Fact Check: Pile of Bricks In Kenosha Is NOT Found Suspicious By Police And Photos Are From 970 Miles Away

    Fact Check

    Did a Kenosha, Wisconsin, police officer find a suspicious pile of bricks in a back alley and were these bricks placed by leftists in preparation for rioting? No, that's not true: An audio recording of police officers speaking with their dispatcher is authentic, but there is no evidence that there was anything out of the ordinary about the bricks. Declaring…

  • Fact Check: Fauci Does NOT Admit 'Vaccines Did Not Work As Advertised And That Vaccinated Are In Great Danger Today'

    Fact Check

    Did Dr. Anthony Fauci admit that COVID vaccines did not work as advertised and that the vaccinated are in great danger? No, that's not true. The director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the Biden administration's chief medical adviser strongly and consistently endorses the vaccination effort and has never suggested the vaccinated are at risk.…

  • Fact Check: COVID-19 Vaccinations Are NOT Mandatory For German Children Or Adults

    Fact Check

    Did the death of a German 12-year-old shortly after receiving a vaccine cause German officials to reconsider a policy of mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations for children? No, that's not true: COVID vaccinations are not mandatory in Germany for children or adults. It is true that a child who had a serious health condition did die shortly after receiving the second dose…

  • Fact Check: 'Digital Driver's License' in Utah Will NOT Contain Vaccination Status, Credit Score -- But Some States Will

    Fact Check

    Will Utah implement a "digital driver's license" that includes a license holder's COVID-19 vaccination status and may eventually consist of information such as their credit score? No, that's not true: Although Utah is introducing mobile driver's licenses, or "mDLs," through a pilot program, that program does not include COVID-19 vaccination records. Other states are considering or have already implemented similar…

    Fact Check

    Did COVID-19 cases in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh (UP) drop in 71 out of 75 districts 24 hours after implementing ivermectin protocol? No, that's not true. While coronavirus cases plummeted in UP after peaking in late April 2021, it didn't happen in a day's time and appeared to have nothing to do with the anti-parasitic medicine. It came…

  • Fact Check: Wisconsin Did NOT Have 89% Reported Turnout In 2020 Election

    Fact Check

    Did Wisconsin have 89% reported turnout in the 2020 election? No, that's not true: Wisconsin allows same-day voter registration. The claim used incorrect math to calculate the percentage based on the number of registered voters at the beginning of the day and the actual number of voters, which is not how the state determines the number. "The Wisconsin Elections Commission…
