    Fact Check

    Does an article listing 1,616 "athlete collapses and deaths" between January 2021 and December 2022 prove a connection between these mishaps and the COVID-19 vaccine?

  • Fact Check: NO Evidence COVID-19 PCR Tests Are 'Linked To Human Cloning'

    Fact Check

    Are COVID-19 PCR tests "linked to human cloning"? No, that's not true. There is no evidence confirming that human cloning ever occurred.
