10 checks for “Rand Paul”
FactCheck.org says: Experts say the risk of myocarditis associated with the vaccine is rare and, more importantly, that everyone, including young males, could face much more serious outcomes from contracting COVID-19.
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.
FactCheck.org says: Early research on omicron doesn’t show natural immunity having an advantage against this variant. Fully vaccinated individuals who receive a booster shot have the strongest immune response, research shows.
PolitiFact says: Paul made the claim in a reelection ad. Two studies published before the ad began running cited hundreds of omicron hospitalizations. Paul’s campaign took the ad down.
FactCheck.org says: There is no evidence linking the novel coronavirus to a lab — only speculation. Many scientists with expertise in coronaviruses consider a lab escape unlikely.
FactCheck.org says: It’s not known how immunity from vaccines compares to natural immunity -- and the entire point of a vaccine is to offer immunity without the risk of getting sick.
FactCheck.org says: Studies show that some people have immune cells known as T cells that can recognize SARS-CoV-2. But it’s not known what that means yet -- and there’s no reason to think it would prevent someone from becoming infected.
PolitiFact says: Experts say the Federal Reserve is likely to be the largest source of funds for the $3 trillion. China is expected to buy little, if any, of the debt, because it does not have the money to lend.
