“Arizona House bill to “decertify” 2020 results “could effectively recall the Biden electors.”
PolitiFact says: Legal experts said it isn’t possible to decertify the election.
“COVID-19 vaccines are the first to have "rewards, discounts, incentives to get vaccinated.”
FactCheck.org says: Studies show COVID-19 vaccines prevent serious disease and there’s a history of vaccine requirements in the U.S. But a list of bogus claims falsely attribute unique characteristics and requirements to COVID-19 vaccines.
“COVID-19 vaccines caused a 40% increase in deaths identified by a life insurance company.”
PolitiFact says: Research indicates that COVID-19 is likely responsible for the increase, both directly and indirectly. There is no evidence to suggest the vaccines are to blame.
“COVID spelled backward is “divoc” which means "possession of the evil spirit" in Hebrew.”
PolitiFact says: "Divoc” is not a Hebrew word. The closest existing word in the language is “dibbuk,” which means evil possession, but the two are not the same, linguistic experts said.
“D.C. residents will need proof of vaccination to leave their homes”
MediaWise says: While you don’t need a vaccination card just to leave your home, as some suspected after reading the mayor’s tweet, people in D.C. will need to have proof of vaccination on hand to do most things.
“En promedio, 1 de cada 2.000 y 1 de cada 3.000 niños que reciban estas vacunas serán hospitalizados en el corto plazo con daños causados por las vacunas”.”
FactCheck.org says: Un estudio de los CDC dice que “no se pudo determinar si las hospitalizaciones fueron resultado de la vacunación”.

“Requesting a chargeback is “a better way to get back at” GoFundMe.”
PolitiFact says: An expert said it is unlikely banks would allow customers to pursue chargebacks after GoFundMe said it would issue refunds.
“Says Bob Saget predicted his death.”
PolitiFact says: Social media users circulated a video that suggested Bob Saget predicted his death. The so-called prediction was actually just a joke about the fact that his wife Kelly Rizzo’s favorite movies are mostly crime dramas.
“The Biden administration “is spending $30 million on crack pipes.”
PolitiFact says: A federal grant aims to prevent injury among drug users that would provide items like overdose reversal medication and safe smoking kits, which wouldn't include crack pipes and wouldn't cost $30 million.
“The use of ballot drop boxes and ballot harvesting is illegal.”
“We all know China created COVID.”
PolitiFact says: There is no evidence that China “created” the virus. There is no scientific consensus on how the virus originated, but researchers believe it could have originated naturally or from an accident in a lab.
“4 busloads of illegals" were "dropped off from the Southern Border" at a Florida hotel.”
FactCheck.org says: Dozens of people stayed at a Florida hotel in January while legally employed as temporary farmworkers for a wholesale plant nursery.
“El gobierno de Biden va a financiar pipas de crack con fondos federales”
“Eric Schmitt “sponsored a bill to spend $480 million of your tax dollars” on cargo hub for airlines "owned by China's Communist Party” and "voted to let China buy up Missouri farmland.”
PolitiFact says: A bill Schmitt sponsored originally called for $480 million in tax credits, not state expenditures, for the Missouri hub. A law he voted for allows for limited foreign ownership of Missouri agricultural land.
“In Joe Biden’s America, your children are more likely to have access to a crack pipe than a mask-free education.”
PolitiFact says: Federal officials said funds for anti-drug abuse grants cannot be used to provide pipes. Within the next several weeks, fewer than a dozen states will have mask mandates as part of their efforts to fight COVID-19.
“Joe Biden uses the ATF to illegally track your gun transactions.”
PolitiFact says: Gun rights supporters worry that the ATF will create a national gun registry, but there is no evidence that it actually has. The GAO found that the ATF follows the law.
“Natural infection ... is giving profound immunity and then giving an immunity better than the vaccine".”
FactCheck.org says: Ya hay algunas investigaciones preliminares sobre la variante ómicron y no muestran que la inmunidad natural tenga una ventaja contra esta variante.
“President Trump sanctioned Russia. President Biden gave them a pipeline.”
PolitiFact says: McEnany sets up a dubious dichotomy. In reality, both presidents maneuvered with difficulty to oppose a pipeline in which they had no official role. In fact, most of the pipeline was built when Trump was president.
