  • Fact Check: NO Evidence Of 'Epidemic Of Plane Crashes Linked To COVID-19 Jab'

    Fact Check

    Is there an "epidemic of plane crashes linked to [the] COVID-19 jab"? No, that's not true: There's no documentation to back up the statement that there is an "epidemic" of crashes, much less one crash caused by COVID-19 vaccines. A video making the claim relies on a recent California crash, the cause of which has not yet been determined. A…

  • Fact Check: COVID-19 Vaccines Do NOT Contain 'Sharp Metal Pieces' Or 'Metal Structure'

    Fact Check

    Do the COVID-19 vaccines contain "sharp metal pieces" or some kind of "metal structure"? No, that's not true. A video claims doctors and scientists have performed a new experiment where they looked at vials of "pure vaccine" for multiple COVID-19 vaccines under a microscope and observed metal and metallic pieces in the liquid.

    Fact Check

    Did 27 U.S. Air Force pilots resign their commissions after the announcement of the implementation of a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for all U.S. active duty and National Guard service members?

  • Fact Check: FDA Approval Of COVID-19 Vaccine Is NOT Illegal; 'Doctor' Does NOT Prove 'Criminal' FDA Regulation Violations

    Fact Check

    Is the FDA approval of the COVID-19 vaccine illegal, and does a "doctor" prove the Pfizer informational insert with its vaccine shows criminal regulation violations?

    Fact Check

    Did Allied bomber pilots drop wooden bombs on German decoy airfields made from wood to let them know they saw through the ruse?

    Fact Check

    Does a video implying that five JetBlue pilots died after getting the COVID-19 vaccine show evidence to back that up? No, it does not. Of the five people named in the video, one was not a pilot, but an inflight crew member for JetBlue. One of the five died from cancer and another one passed away after an off-road vehicle…
