  • Fact Check: Vermont COVID Rate NOT Worst In U.S.

    Fact Check

    Does Vermont, with its nation-leading vaccination rate, also have the highest rate of COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents? No, that's not true: Vermont ranks first in vaccination rates and 49th in rate of COVID cases. The claim has circulated on social media, including in this December 2, 2021, Facebook video (archived here) posted to the Charlie Kirk account under the…

  • Fact Check: Japan Did NOT Endorse Ivermectin As COVID-19 Treatment -- Cases Plummeted For Another Reason

    Fact Check

    Did Japan endorse the use of ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19, sending cases plummeting in late August 2021? No, that's not true: While Haruo Ozaki, the chairman of the Tokyo Medical Association, said at an August 13, 2021, press conference that the anti-parasitic drug showed promise, he also said it needed to be studied thoroughly. The Tokyo Medical Association…

    Fact Check

    Is Bill Gates charged with murder in India's High Court for an alleged COVID-19-vaccine-caused death? No, that's not true: A $134 million lawsuit has been filed against Gates and others in India but it was done so by a private citizen who claims her son died after adverse effects from a COVID-19 vaccine. This is not a case filed by…

  • Fact Check: mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines Do NOT Stunt Development Of Children's Immune Systems

    Fact Check

    Do messenger RNA (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccines instruct cells to produce "non-human" proteins -- spike proteins -- that would stunt the development of children's immune systems? No, that's not true: On the contrary, the purpose of spike proteins produced by mRNA COVID vaccines is to assist in triggering the body's immune system and help the body recognize that COVID does not…

    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: Japan Did NOT Drop Its Vaccine Rollout And End COVID Almost Overnight With Ivermectin

    Fact Check

    Did Japan drop its vaccine program in favor of ivermectin, wiping out COVID-19 in one month? No, that's not true: While coronavirus cases plummeted in Japan after peaking in the second half of August, 2021, it had nothing to do with the anti-parasitic medicine. Instead, Japanese officials credit an aggressive vaccination campaign. The claim appeared in an article on the…

  • 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…

    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

    Did this video prove its claim that the proposed oral COVID drug called molnupiravir is poisonous and causes cancer and mutations? No, that's not true: There's no credible and peer-reviewed lab or clinical data supplied, and the publicly-available evidence does not support the claims. The claims originated in an October 10, 2021, video (archived here) posted to BitChute by the…

    Fact Check

    Are Peter Breggin's claims about COVID-19 vaccine deaths, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine and the SARS-CoV-2 virus all correct? No, that's not true: In describing a conspiracy's bid for global dominion, Breggin misstates the clearly labelled contents of the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System database, falsely claims ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine are proven effective against COVID and falsely declares no SARS-CoV virus has been…
