FactCheck.org says: Fragments of residual DNA containing small sections of simian virus 40 (SV40) sequence may be present in the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, but there is no evidence this causes cancer.
FactCheck.org says: No mRNA versions of an inhalable COVID-19 vaccine have been approved in any country. Scientists say it’s not possible to spray such a vaccine into the air and vaccinate people unwittingly.
FactCheck.org says: There isn’t evidence people need to undergo a “spike protein detoxification” regimen after getting vaccinated. Nor has the "Base Spike Detoxification Protocol" been shown to help people recover from long COVID.
FactCheck.org says: Flu shots and MMR vaccines have been effective in preventing illness, serious disease and death. But a meme falsely suggests that the vaccines are ineffective. Actually, they’ve saved millions of lives.
FactCheck.org says: Tedros delayed getting a COVID-19 vaccine as a protest against the failure of vaccination efforts in African countries, but he was vaccinated in May 2021.
FactCheck.org says: Trump quickly retracted his answer after being criticized. In a statement issued the same day, Trump said the physician performing the abortion should be held legally responsible — not the woman.
FactCheck.org says: Sonia Gómez, a spokesperson for the Health Ministry of Nuevo León, told the Associated Press that it’s not true that 850 people died in two weeks in Monterrey due to myocarditis.
FactCheck.org says: A co-author of the study cited in the social media posts told us, "our case report has been misinterpreted as evidence that Pfizer/BioNTech’s COVID-19 mRNA vaccine could cause ... 'turbo cancer.."
FactCheck.org says: Documents obtained by Open The Books show Fauci and Collins got 58 royalty payments from 2010 to 2021 for their research. Only three of the payments came in 2020 or 2021; the rest were prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
FactCheck.org says: A video repeats the claim that COVID-19 vaccines are responsible for the sudden onset of various visible ailments — such as fainting — is making the rounds, again. But there's no support for that claim.
FactCheck.org says: FDA authorization/approval for a treatment would not impact authorization/approval of a safe and effective vaccine. Several large, randomized controlled trials have found these drugs don't work for COVID-19.
FactCheck.org says: It's not possible to pinpoint the start of the increase in autism diagnoses to 1989. One vaccine was added to the vaccine schedule in 1989. And extensive research has failed to find a link between autism and vaccines.
FactCheck.org says: Claims for manufacturing defects, negligence and fraud can be taken to court if one first goes through the vaccine compensation program and it either takes more than 240 days for a response or one rejects the decision.
FactCheck.org says: No COVID-19 vaccines were affected by the tornado that damaged Pfizer’s North Carolina warehouse, which doesn’t produce the vaccines. But some misinformation spreaders are claiming vaccines were destroyed.
FactCheck.org says: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration considers mammograms “the most effective primary breast cancer screening test” and says there is no evidence to indicate that thermography can replace mammograms.
FactCheck.org says: The rate of autism is the same in vaccinated and unvaccinated kids. But the false claim that vaccines are associated with autism persists, including a recent claim that it’s virtually nonexistent among the unvaccinated.
FactCheck.org says: The Gates Foundation supports research into fighting malaria, including funding a company that releases genetically modified mosquitoes that are incapable of carrying the disease.
