  • Fact Check: Tetanus Vaccines Are NOT Being Used To Sterilize People

    Fact Check

    Are tetanus shots being used to sterilize people? No, that's not true: Such claims are "completely illogical and contrary to fact," a molecular biologist told Lead Stories. There is no substantive evidence that tetanus vaccines available as of June 2023 contain a hormone that would "attack" a pregnancy and cause a miscarriage. Numerous studies indicate that tetanus vaccines are safe…

  • Fact Check: Video Does NOT Prove COVID-19 Spike Protein Replaces Sperm In Men

    Fact Check

    Does a video presentation prove that the spike protein in COVID-19 mRNA vaccines replaces the sperm in men? No, that's not true: No scientific evidence supports the claim. The spike protein is a harmless protein found on the surface of the coronavirus. It is the target of the immune response COVID-19 vaccines aim to trigger. The mRNA vaccines, such as…

  • Fact Check: No Evidence Cancer-Causing "Green Monkey DNA" Found In mRNA COVID Vaccines

    Fact Check

    Did a legitimate, peer-reviewed study successfully demonstrate that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines produced by Pfizer and Moderna were shown to contain simian virus 40 (SV40), a DNA virus that has been linked to certain cancers? No, that's not true: The research in question was not published in a peer-reviewed journal and as such, has not been vetted for accuracy by scientific…

  • Fact Check: Designation 'L17-A' Found On Streetlight In South Australia Does NOT Reveal Conspiracy To Alter Human DNA

    Fact Check

    Does a number code printed on a streetlight match that of a ribosomal protein and does this show that mRNA from the COVID-19 vaccines can be activated using optogenetic technology if a vaccinated person is exposed to the light from the street lamp? No, that's not true: The L17 marking on the LED street lamp appears to be a product…

  • Fact Check: CDC Did NOT Say 'AIDS-Associated Diseases And Cancers Increased 338x Since Rollout Of The COVID Vaccine'

    Fact Check

    Did the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) say that AIDS-associated diseases and cancers have increased by 338 times since the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine? No, that's not true: The CDC says there are no indications that COVID vaccines are causing or contributing to these conditions. The public health agency regularly monitors and reports on health conditions including…

  • Fact Check: Clinical Trials For MRNA Universal Influenza Vaccine Will NOT Involve Only '50 Healthy Volunteers' To 'Assess The Safety'

    Fact Check

    Will a new mRNA universal flu vaccine only be tested on 50 volunteers to "assess the safety" of the experimental shot? No, that's not true: New drugs and medicines in the United States go through rigorous testing and three phases of clinical trials involving thousands of people with different health statuses before the products can potentially be authorized for widespread…

  • Fact Check: Study Does NOT 'Show' People Fully Vaccinated For COVID-19 Lose 25 Years Of Life Expectancy -- There's No Such Study

    Fact Check

    Do people who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 shorten their average lifespan by a quarter century? No, that's not true: There is no scientific evidence or credible research to support the idea that being fully vaccinated for COVID-19 shortens a person's life expectancy. Vaccinations, including COVID-19 vaccines, go through rigorous testing and evaluation processes to ensure their safety and efficacy.…

  • Fact Check: Pfizer Document Does NOT Show COVID-19 Vaccine Causes 'Devastating Harm To The Musculoskeletal System'

    Fact Check

    Does a Pfizer document show that the pharmaceutical company's COVID-19 vaccine causes "devastating harm to the musculoskeletal system"? No, that's not true: The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine has been shown to be safe and effective in preventing COVID-19, with the most common side effects being mild and temporary, including injection site pain, fatigue or fever. There is no credible evidence or…

  • Fact Check: 'Watch The Water 2' Does NOT Prove COVID-19 MRNA Vaccines Come From Snake Venom, Do NOT Cause Humans To Produce Venom In Bodies

    Fact Check

    Do COVID-19 mRNA vaccines and treatments for the virus come from snake venom and do the vaccines then cause humans to produce venom in their bodies? In addition, is nicotine the "perfect antidote" for COVID, making the vaccines unnecessary? No, none of those things are true: These assertions have no basis in science, infectious disease experts told Lead Stories. The…

  • Fact Check: NO Evidence Pasteurized Milk Causes ADHD

    Fact Check

    Is it a proven fact that the consumption of pasteurized milk leads to ADHD? No, that's not true: While the exact causes of this disorder remain unknown, the existing body of evidence links the occurrence of ADHD to genetic factors, not diet. The claim appeared in a video on Instagram on May 8, 2023. The caption said: 🚨MILK SCAM🚨🐮Avoid pasteurized…
