“Schools are trying to make a law that teachers can see girls' private parts to make sure they're not trans.”
PolitiFact says: States are considering legislation that would prohibit transgender students from being part of teams that don’t match their sex assigned at birth. None of those bills would force teachers to examine students’ genitalia.
“There was no national strategy or plan for vaccinations. We were leaving it to the states and local leaders to try and figure it out. And so in many ways, we’re starting from scratch on something that’s been raging for almost an entire year!”
Washington Post says: The Biden administration has sped up the tempo of vaccinations and expanded access, but it has built on concepts left behind by the Trump administration.

“Los perros pueden oler si alguien tiene coronavirus”

“CDC ahora exigen DOS mascarillas: ¿ciencia o tiranía?”

“¿El beisbolista Hank Aaron murió por vacunarse contra el covid-19?”
“Legally, all those people giving [COVID-19] vaccinations are war criminals.”

“November election data shows a “stunning anomaly in the rejection rate of absentee ballots.”
PolitiFact says: This claim uses flawed data analysis to assert there was something questionable or improper about the low number of ballots rejected in the November election. The election was in line with trends over the last decade.
