  • Fact Check: ICC Does NOT Have A 'Case' Before It Concerning Crimes Purportedly Related To COVID-19 -- It Has A Complaint

    Fact Check

    Does the International Criminal Court (ICC) have a "case" before it concerning serious crimes related to COVID-19? No, that's not true: Although a complaint was filed alleging crimes committed against people in the United Kingdom related to COVID, the ICC has not stated whether the complaint is now a "case." The claim originated from a complaint found on a page…

  • Fact Check: Reiner Fuellmich's 'Coronavirus Investigative Committee' Report Does NOT Reveal New Evidence For Debunked Claims

    Fact Check

    In this video, did trial lawyer Reiner Fuellmich's "Coronavirus Investigative Committee" reveal new evidence of claims that COVID-19 is no worse than seasonal flu, can be treated with vitamins and ivermectin, is not accurately confirmed with PCR tests and that the approved vaccines are ineffective and untested? No, none of that is true: Fuellmich recycles stale conspiracy theories that have…

  • Fact Check: 'Kabala' Harris Did NOT Admit COVID Vaccine Doesn't Work

    Fact Check

    Did Vice President Kamala Harris "admit" that COVID-19 vaccines don't work? No, that's not true: Her tweet that is the basis for the claim is a summary of public health recommendations that reflect reality: No vaccine is 100% effective and breakthrough infections of the delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, however mild among vaccinated persons, have been documented and could result in…

  • Fact Check: Masks Are NOT As Ineffective At Blocking Virus As Chain-Link Fencing Is At Blocking Mosquitoes

    Fact Check

    Is wearing a face mask to prevent the transmission of an airborne virus as ineffective as building a chain-link fence to keep mosquitos out of a yard? No, that's not true: This is a misleading analogy, but it was made as a joke. The gaping diamond-shaped holes in chain-link fencing cannot block minuscule mosquitos. Meanwhile, various academic, scientific and medical…

  • Fact Check: It's NOT True That Whether Vaccines Work Or Don't Work For Others, You Don't Need One

    Fact Check

    Is it true that whether a vaccine works or doesn't work for other people, you don't need one? Paradoxically, neither of these claims is true: You need protection even if others are vaccinated and especially when the vaccine, like many others, fails to work in some individuals. The consensus of medical experts, based on lab and clinical studies, is that…

  • Fact Check: CDC Director Has NOT Said Vaccinated People Are 'The COVID-19 Super-Spreaders'

    Fact Check

    Did the United States' public health agency say vaccinated people are "the super-spreaders" of COVID-19? No, that's not true: Although discoveries about the delta variant will continue to change knowledge about it as scientists learn from its rapid spread, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had not, by August 2, 2021, declared vaccinated persons to be "the super-spreaders"…

  • Fact Check: U.S. Military Did NOT Arrest Dr. Deborah Birx

    Fact Check

    Did the U.S. military arrest former White House coronavirus response coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx for her role in deceiving the public about the effectiveness of masks in preventing the spread of COVID-19? No, that's not true: The claim is a complete fabrication by a website that has published a series of similar false claims about the military arrests of political…

  • Fact Check: Oft-Cited Article Proposes A Hypothesis, Does NOT Provide New Data Against Mask-Wearing, Is NOT A 'Stanford Study"

    Fact Check

    Did this "Stanford Study" prove that face masks don't slow the spread of COVID-19 and harm the health of mask-wearers? No, that's not true: Stanford University disavows the article, which is not a report on new research and is full of the kind of spelling and grammar errors not found in journals by and for science professionals. It is, as…

  • Fact Check: It Is NOT True There Is "No Evidence" Masks or Lockdowns Slow COVID-19 Spread

    Fact Check

    Is there "still no evidence masks or lockdowns slow the spread of COVID-19"? No, that's not true: The claim was posted with no citation of studies disproving the effectiveness of masks and lockdowns. On the other hand, there are now dozens of scientific studies published showing that wearing masks and instituting lockdowns or stay-at-home orders have been effective in slowing…

  • Fact Check: These 33 'professionals' Are NOT Correct About The COVID Pandemic, Death Rates, Vaccine Safety And Flu Comparison

    Fact Check

    Is it true that the novel coronavirus has not crossed borders, that 2020 death rates are not higher than an average year, that COVID-19 vaccines are unsafe and ineffective and that COVID is no more lethal and infectious than the flu? No, none of those claims is true. Full-time virologists, vaccinologists, epidemiologists and public health officials cite peer-reviewed professional studies…
