“Pfeizer CEO refuses [COVID-19 vaccine]”
FactCheck.org says: A video making the false claim that the Pfizer CEO "refuses" to get a COVID-19 vaccine has been circulating on Facebook. But the pharmaceutical company’s chief executive has said that he’s gotten his first shot.
“CDC: Face Masks Don’t Prevent COVID-19, Study Finds Masks Have Negligible Impact On Coronavirus Numbers”
FactCheck.org says: The CDC study found that state-issued mask mandates were associated with significant decreases in daily COVID-19 case and death growth rates.
“FDA DOCUMENTS" show that COVID-19 "mRNA VACCINE CAUSES DEATH + 21 SIDE EFFECTS.”
“The [COVID-19] vaccine killed Marvin Hagler.”
FactCheck.org says: Hagler died of natural causes, according to a statement posted on his official website. His widow, Kay Hagler, wrote that his death was not the result of a COVID-19 vaccination.
“A 2004 “study discovered that African-American boys who receive the MMR vaccine ‘on-time’ by the age of 3 are 3.36 times more likely to be diagnosed with severe autism as Black boys who waited until they were older.”
FactCheck.org says: That’s not what the study found. That’s what a purported reanalysis of the data claimed to find a decade later and that paper was retracted.
“We’ve made it possible for you to get a vaccine at nearly any one of 10,000 pharmacies across the country, just like you get your flu shot.”
FactCheck.org says: The Biden administration has made it possible to get vaccines at pharmacies -- but not without the advance planning of the past two administrations.
“Medical Tyranny: CDC Announces All Travelers Must Wear TWO Masks, Threatens Arrest”
FactCheck.org says: The CDC order doesn’t require that individuals wear two masks. CDC guidance issued with the order does say that cloth masks should be made of at least two layers.
“A 2010 TED Talk shows that Bill Gates has a plan to remove some of the world population through vaccines.”
“America will be the first country -- perhaps the only one" -- to administer 100 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccines.”
FactCheck.org says: That’s true, but per capita the U.S. is not tops in the world in vaccinations. Israel has administered about four times as many doses per 100 people than the U.S.
“Head of Pfizer Research: Covid Vaccine is Female Sterilization”
FactCheck.org says: This false rumor originated with a former Pfizer employee.
“Biden Admin Releasing Illegal Immigrants Into U.S. Without COVID Testing.”
FactCheck.org says: The Biden administration has made no changes to COVID-19 testing policies for either ICE or CBP. But a claim falsely suggests that the administration has stopped testing detained immigrants before they are released.
“Pfizer has recommended switching to a one-dose policy for its vaccine”
“A person is 300 to 900 times more likely to die “after getting the #Covid vaccine than the flu vaccine.”
FactCheck.org says: Berenson based his claim on unvetted information submitted to a federal database. It is not used to determine death rates. The CDC has not received confirmation of a single COVID-19 vaccine-related death.
“Face masks have been proven "unsafe" and "ineffective," and cause "facial deformities.”
“This is the first time in my career ... that there is a consensus among economists left, right, and center" that "we can’t spend too much" on COVID-19 relief.”
FactCheck.org says: Some center-left economists say the plan may be too large.
“Legally, all those people giving [COVID-19] vaccinations are war criminals.”
FactCheck.org says: People getting the vaccines, which have been shown to be safe and effective, consent to receive them and aren’t participating in research.
“CDC Now Demands TWO Masks – Science…Or Tyranny?”
“People who recovered from COVID-19 "don’t seem to be at risk of reinfection and natural immunization is better than artificial immunization," meaning vaccination.”
FactCheck.org says: It’s not yet known how immunity from vaccination compares with that from infection. But getting vaccinated is far safer than contracting the novel coronavirus.
“The COVID-19 vaccine is an "experimental biological agent" that the government is pushing "heavily on Blacks and browns.”
FactCheck.org says: Dr. Simone Gold accused the government of "pure racism" for pushing the COVID-19 vaccine "heavily on Blacks and browns." Experts recommend prioritizing those communities because they have suffered higher rates of death.
