“Per the CDC, there are nearly twice as many vaccine-related deaths so far in 2021 (1,755) than all the vaccine deaths this past decade (994).”
PolitiFact rated this: False
PolitiFact says: Anyone can report “adverse events” to a vaccine — as in possible side effects — to the CDC's VAERS system. The reports are not verified and do not indicate whether an adverse event is linked to or caused by a vaccine.
“President Joe Biden’s corporate tax rate increase would "put us in line with other industrial nations.”
PolitiFact rated this: Mostly False
PolitiFact says: Biden’s proposed new tax rate for corporations would be either the top rate or in the top one-fifth of rates, depending on which metric you use.
“Says Ford agreed to invest $900 million at an Ohio plant because Donald Trump “lowered taxes” and is now moving the project to Mexico because Joe Biden is “increasing taxes.”
PolitiFact rated this: Mostly False
PolitiFact says: The UAW said Ford is shifting a vehicle project to Mexico. Ford has not confirmed if it is, but said “the business decision in question was not a result of then-presidential candidate Biden’s corporate tax proposals."
“The Biden administration is engaging in human trafficking because they are enabling this to happen” at the southern border.”
PolitiFact rated this: False
“The proposal by President Joe Biden would put the U.S. “No. 2 in the world” for the highest corporate tax rate.”
PolitiFact rated this: Half True
PolitiFact says: At least 19 countries would still have a higher corporate tax rate, when national and sub-national tax rates are combined. However, most of these countries are small.
“Navy SEALs found over 1,000 trafficked children and dead bodies on the Evergreen ship that blocked the Suez Canal.”
PolitiFact rated this: Pants on Fire
PolitiFact says: This is a fabricated story. There is no evidence any trafficked children or dead bodies have been found on the ship.
“HR 1 “gives the federal government the power to establish their own committees” to take over the redistricting process.”
PolitiFact rated this: Mostly False
PolitiFact says: H.R. 1 overhauls how new congressional lines would be drawn in many states. But these states — not the federal government — would choose the members of new commissions and equip them for the task.
“It took the Legislature nearly 300 days to act on a (COVID-19) bill during this pandemic.”
PolitiFact rated this: Half True
“Says Joe Biden’s infrastructure plan “is the Green New Deal.”
PolitiFact rated this: Mostly False
PolitiFact says: The THRIVE Act, based on the Green New Deal, would spend four times as much as the American Jobs Plan, and covers a broader social agenda.
“The number of pregnant women who have miscarried increased by “366% in just six weeks” as a result of their receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.”
PolitiFact rated this: False

“COVID-19 vaccine is a “non-FDA-approved experimental agent.”
PolitiFact rated this: Mostly False
PolitiFact says: The FDA authorized three vaccines for emergency use. The clinical trials and other materials needed for that are little different from the requirements for final approval.
“If I don’t take the vaccine, I’m at risk for covid. If I do take the vaccine, I’m still at risk for covid PLUS I’m at risk for permanent vaccine side effects. Therefore I’m reducing my risk by not taking the vaccine. That’s the real science.”
PolitiFact rated this: False
PolitiFact says: Getting vaccinated reduced the likelihood of COVID-19 infection by as much as 95% in clinical trials. There is no evidence of permanent side effects.
“If the voting bill H.R. 1 is passed, “absentee ballots would be mailed out to anyone without proof of the voter’s identity.”
PolitiFact rated this: False
PolitiFact says: The bill does require states to send mail ballot application forms to all registered voters before federal elections, but sending an application is not the same thing as sending an actual ballot.
“Joe Biden puts pro-life groups on domestic extremist list, calls pro-life people ‘violent.’”
PolitiFact rated this: Mostly False
PolitiFact says: An assessment ordered by Biden lists categories of domestic, violent extremist groups, including ones with “ideological agendas in support of pro-life or pro-choice beliefs.” Pro-life groups generally aren't listed.
“U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz was the lone vote in the House against an anti-human trafficking bill.”
PolitiFact rated this: True
PolitiFact says: In explaining his no vote, Gaetz said it’s important to combat human trafficking. But he said he generally opposes legislation that creates new federal entities if existing federal agencies could handle the problem.
