“To be clear, Joe Biden is the ‘big guy.’”

“Ivermectin “has been very effective against COVID-19 and shown to outperform at least 10 other drugs, including Paxlovid.”
FactCheck.org says: Paxlovid is a preferred therapy for COVID-19 that has been shown to save lives. Ivermectin, by contrast, has repeatedly failed in trials to benefit COVID-19 patients.
“Outrageous! FDA Backtracks During Trial and Now Claims 'Not Taking Ivermectin for COVID-19' was Merely a Recommendation.”
FactCheck.org says: The FDA described its warnings about the use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19 as "recommendations." That doesn't reveal new information, but some outlets have claimed it's an "outrageous" change in the FDA's position.
“A TV graphic showing Republican Doug Mastriano with nearly 500,000 more votes than Democrat Josh Shapiro, but Mastriano trailing 41.6% to 56.6%, is proof of election fraud.”
FactCheck.org says: The graphic shows inaccurate numbers that were quickly corrected on air.
“Herschel Walker “wants a nationwide ban on abortion” and said no exceptions “not even for rape or incest or life of the mother.”
PolitiFact says: For most of the campaign, Herschel Walker has supported a national ban on abortion and spoken against exceptions. Late in the campaign at a debate, he expressed support for a Georgia law that has exceptions.
“Increases in respiratory syncytial virus in children are linked to the COVID-19 vaccine.”
PolitiFact says: There is no evidence COVID-19 vaccination causes RSV in children, and a recent increase in cases of respiratory syncytial virus is likely because of relaxed pandemic mitigation measures.
“Irán sentenció a muerte a 15,000 personas que participaron en las protestas tras el fallecimiento de Mahsa Amini bajo custodia policial.”
“It’s proof of “voter fraud” that it takes some states days to count 2 million votes while Florida results were available on election night.”
PolitiFact says: Battleground states like Nevada and Arizona had races with close margins, so media organizations waited until more votes were counted to announce projected winners. Different paces for counting votes doesn't prove fraud.
“President Joe Biden said, “I know you all know there’s no climate problem,” proving that people have been “lying for decades” about climate change.”
PolitiFact says: During a midterm campaign speech in California, President Joe Biden joked that “there’s no climate problem.” A 19-second clip of his remarks removed the context so that it was not clear he was joking.
“Un mexicano fue “detenido y condenado a 30 latigazos” por introducir alcohol a Qatar 2022.”

“Evidence Suggests the COVID Shots Are Responsible for Soaring RSV Cases Throughout the U.S. & Canada.”
FactCheck.org says: Experts say the spike in RSV cases is most likely caused by an immunity gap created by the lack of exposure to the virus over the past couple of years. There's no evidence the pediatric COVID-19 vaccine is the cause.
“Florida counted all of its more than 7 million votes in five hours on Election Day and states that took longer committed “voter fraud.”
FactCheck.org says: Florida law allows election officials to start counting early in-person and mail-in ballots before Election Day. Most states don’t allow vote counting to begin until Election Day or after polls close.
“Messi lleva una pegatina del Boca Juniors en su maleta.”
“Tens of Billions of US Dollars Were Transferred to Ukraine and then Using FTX Crypto Currency the Funds Were Laundered Back to Democrats in US.”
FactCheck.org says: FTX's bankruptcy has sparked an unfounded claim that its CEO had conspired with Ukraine and Democratic politicians to launder U.S. aid money. FTX helped make crypto donations available to Ukraine; not take assets.
“Bags arriving at the Maricopa County vote counting site are evidence of “Democrats with the help of the media and GOP establishment stealing another election.”
PolitiFact says: Bags did arrive at a Maricopa election site, but it’s not a sign of anything criminal or nefarious, and it is in keeping with the state’s election procedures manual.
“Raphael Warnock "believes in no cash bail" and "letting people out of prison that are going to make us prisoners in our own home.”
PolitiFact says: Warnock does not support eliminating cash bail, but does back ending it for nonviolent offenders. He does not support widespread releases of prison inmates, but he backed a law that reduces sentences for some offenders.
