“U.S. sanctions mean “Cuba can’t trade with any country or any company whatsoever.”

“You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.”

PolitiFact says: The CDC says that COVID-19 vaccines are effective. However, no vaccines are 100% effective at preventing illness. There will be a small percentage of fully vaccinated people who get sick, are hospitalized, or die.

“In the 2020 presidential election, “4,255 ballots in Fulton County, Georgia, were scanned multiple times” and “3,390 went to Biden.”

“The government will be infiltrating” personal text messages.”

PolitiFact says: There is no evidence that the Biden administration is seeking to “infiltrate” private text messages between individuals. The Democratic Party notifies wireless carriers of mass texts it deems to be misinformation.
