    Fact Check

    Are the ingredients put in vaccines toxic to people? No, that's not true: Before a vaccine is licensed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and recommended for use by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) it's tested and evaluated in labs.

    Fact Check

    Do gematria codes used by conspiracy theories always result in matches? Yes, that's true: Gematria is a form of numerology in which the letters of the alphabet are substituted with corresponding numbers.

    Fact Check

    Do vaccines cause brain damage? No, there's no evidence that's true: Although vaccines are not risk-free, there is an almost universal consensus in the medical community that they are safe and save millions of lives each year.

  • Fact Check: The Supreme Court Did NOT Rule That The COVID Vaccine Is Unsafe

    Fact Check

    Did the U.S. Supreme Court rule that the COVID-19 vaccine is unsafe? Did Dr. Anthony Fauci and "Big Pharma" lose a lawsuit to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and others over the safety of COVID vaccine? No, neither of those are true: There has been no recent court proceeding, or ruling, from the Supreme Court stating that COVID vaccine is unsafe.…

    Fact Check

    Is Mayim Bialik, an actress with a doctorate in neuroscience, opposed to vaccination?

  • Fact Check: Dr. Rashid Buttar Video Does NOT Let Viewers Hear 'Undercover' W.H.O. Video Offered As Proof Of Vaccine Dangers

    Coronavirus

    Does an anti-vaccine advocate prove his claims of vaccine dangers with "undercover" video of private World Health Organization meetings and does he provide credible citations of scientific research to prove his claims? No, that's not true: The video caption promises "an undercover footage - the media don't want you to see" but delivers less than a quarter-minute -- without audio.…

  • Fact Check: A COVID-19 Vaccine Is NOT Likely To Kill You

    Fact Check

    Will taking a COVID-19 vaccine kill you or lead to "debilitating" illness? No, that's not true: There is an abundance of evidence to the contrary.
