  • An open letter to YouTube's CEO from the world's fact-checkers

    Analysis

    Ms. Susan Wojcicki, It's been almost two years since the COVID-19 pandemic started. The world has seen time and time again how destructive disinformation and misinformation can be for social harmony, democracy, and public health; too many lives and livelihoods have been ruined, and far too many people have lost loved ones to disinformation. As an international network of fact-checking…

  • Fact Check: Air Force Colonel Joe Jackson Did NOT Die In 2020 Ignored -- He Died in 2019 Remembered By Hometown, Dept. of Defense

    Fact Check

    Did Air Force Col. Joe Jackson die in 2020 with his death ignored by the public and media? No, that's not true: He died on January 12, 2019, according to multiple sources including the obituary from Jackson's hometown newspaper, The Washington Post, the Department of Defense website and an article in the Air Force Times. The claim appeared in a…

  • Fact Check: Critical Race Theory Law Does NOT Make It Illegal To Teach Black History In Tennessee

    Fact Check

    Does a 2021 Tennessee law make it illegal to teach Black history in the state? No, that's not true: While the law does not ban the teaching of Black history, or any ethnic group's history, it greatly restricts what public school teachers can discuss in Tennessee classrooms about racism, white privilege and unconscious bias. The claim appears in an opinion…

  • Fact Check: Taking A Bath In Borax Does NOT 'Detox' Vaccine From Your Body

    Fact Check

    Is bathing in a mixture of borax, baking soda, "Indian healing clay" and Epsom salt a good way to "detox" the COVID-19 vaccine from your body? No, that's not true: There is no scientific evidence that bathing in a borax mixture will remove the vaccine from your body. Dr. William Schaffner, a professor of preventive medicine, told Lead Stories that…

  • Fact Check: Thousands Of 2020 Ballot Images Required By Law CANNOT Be Produced By Georgia Election Officials -- But They Still Have All 5 Million Originals

    Fact Check

    Did Georgia election officials fall short of producing all the 2020 election ballot images required by law? Yes, that's true: A top Georgia election official says not all the scans of original ballots were transferred into the election management system. But that doesn't tell the full story. Election officials still have all the original ballots cast by 5 million Georgia…

  • Fact Check: COVID Vaccines Do NOT Contain Hydrogel Nanobots Capable Of Reproducing And Of Implanting False Memories

    Fact Check

    Do COVID-19 vaccines approved in the United States contain hydrogel nanobots that multiply, rewrite human genetics and erase and plant memories in human brains? No, that's not true nor even possible in 2021. No private or academic lab has laid claim to the ability to make a robot that could pass through a COVID vaccine hypodermic needle carrying the kind…

  • Fact Check: Field In Madison, Georgia, Does NOT Store 'Disposable Coffins' And Is Not Owned By CDC Or FEMA

    Fact Check

    Did the CDC pay someone to store up to 500,000 "disposable coffins" in what had been a soybean field in Madison, Georgia? Does this indicate that there is a "plan" that might include "FEMA Camps" and an impending need to bury hundreds of thousands of people? No, that's not true: This video is a baseless, old, recycled conspiracy tale that…

    Fact Check

    Did Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tweet that people should not be convicted on "flimsy" circumstantial evidence, such as "having a similar gait," "owning the identical shoes" or "being in DC and not having any alibi for that time"?

  • Fact Check: There Is NO Such 'Aluminum Parasite' As Franc Zalewski Claims Are In COVID Vaccines, Nor Are There Nanotech 'Organisms'

    Fact Check

    Are there aluminum parasites in COVID vaccines and self-assembling nanorobots or superconductors? No, that's not true: The consensus of professional peer-reviewed biology operates on the premise that life on Earth is carbon-based, not aluminum-based. The Food & Drug Administration says the claims are "completely false" and not supported by the lab-verified ingredient lists required for approval of new medicines. The…

No, that's not true: Although their vaccinations appeared to be unconventionally administered, the medical professional who administered the vaccines used an effective procedure, according to medical experts.
