  • Fact Check: Formaldehyde, Polysorbate 80 Do NOT Pose Health Risk In Flu Shots

    Fact Check

    Do flu shots "contaminated with formaldehyde and polysorbate 80" pose a potential health risk to those vaccinated against influenza? No, that's not true: Some flu shots do contain formaldehyde and polysorbate 80, but the amounts are too minimal to cause any harm to the average person, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told Lead Stories. The claim about contaminated…

  • Fact Check: Hospitals Did NOT Force Vaccination Of Children For COVID-19; Myocarditis Risk Is Greater Without Vaccine Than With It

    Fact Check

    Did hospitals force the vaccination of millions of children for COVID-19 and are they now trying to normalize a rare side effect? No, that's not true: Hospitals do not have that kind of power and less than a handful of states have mandated COVID shots before kids can attend school. There's also no evidence to suggest that the health care…

  • Fact Check: COVID Vaccines Do NOT Suppress Immune System

    Fact Check

    Do COVID-19 vaccines suppress the human immune system? No, that's not true: There is nothing to suggest that COVID shots have that sort of impact on the body's defenses. "There is no clinical or epidemiological evidence that COVID vaccines generally suppress or weaken the immune system," Dr. William Schaffner, a professor of medicine in the division of infectious diseases at…

  • Fact Check: NO Evidence COVID Vaccines Linked To 25% Increase In Cardiac Arrest For Israeli Males, Females

    Fact Check

    Are COVID vaccines linked to a 25 percent increase in cardiac arrest for both males and females in Israel? No, there's no evidence to support that. While data show an increase in calls to emergency medical services (EMS) for these types of events, it's unclear whether the final diagnoses of these cases represent "cardiac arrest and/or acute coronary syndromes at…

  • Fact Check: NO Evidence Of 'Increased Emergency Cardiovascular Events' In Israel's Under-40s With Vaccine Rollout, 3rd COVID Wave

    Fact Check

    Did Israel's under-40 population experience an increase in "emergency cardiovascular events" during the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines and the third wave of the virus? No, there's no evidence to support that. While data show an increase in calls to emergency medical services (EMS) for these types of events, it's unclear whether the final diagnoses of these cases represent "cardiac arrest…

  • Fact Check: CDC Study Does NOT Find COVID-19 Vaccination Increases Risk Of Autoimmune Disease Myocarditis By 13,200%

    Fact Check

    Did a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study find COVID-19 vaccination increases the risk of suffering autoimmune disease myocarditis by 13,200%? No, that's not true: The study never mentions autoimmune myocarditis, which is an extremely rare condition. The most common cause of myocarditis, which is rare on its own, is a viral infection, Johns Hopkins Medicine says. The…

  • Fact Check: Irish Examiner Did NOT Report That Referee Whistles Caused Heart Problems For Athletes

    Fact Check

    Did the Irish Examiner publish a report about a sudden increase in heart problems among sports players due to referee whistles? No, that's not true: A spoof image was created using a fake story and the masthead of the Irish Examiner. This was circulated on social media via a screenshot -- but this article never appeared in the Irish Examiner.…

  • Fact Check: Vaccine-Related Myocarditis Is NOT Harsher Than COVID Infection-Related Myocarditis

    Fact Check

    Does this article provide a correct comparison between the severity of myocarditis cases caused by COVID vaccines and those resulting from COVID-19 illness? No, that's not true: It gets the comparison backward. Myocarditis experts say cases of inflammation of the heart muscle caused by COVID infection are significantly worse and far more common. A founder of the Myocarditis Foundation, Mayo…

  • Fact Check: There Is NO Evidence COVID Vaccines Damage Children's Brains, Jeopardize Reproduction, Generate Toxins

    Fact Check

    Do COVID-19 vaccines for children fail risk/benefit analysis, permanently damaging children's brains and reproductive systems to prevent a harmless infection? No, that's not true: The claim is made without scientific evidence to support it and in the face of data showing some children are killed and seriously sickened by COVID. Meanwhile, the consensus of published, peer-reviewed and field tested expert…

  • Fact Check: COVID-19 Vaccines Are NOT 'Dangerous And Ineffective' And Do NOT 'Need To Be Withdrawn From The Market'

    Fact Check

    Are COVID-19 vaccines "dangerous and ineffective" and do they "need to be withdrawn from the market"? No, that's not true: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the vaccines are "safe and effective." More than 535 million doses of COVID vaccines have been administered in the United States since December 2020. Serious adverse events are rare, and reports of…
