Gateway Pundit
Conservative website. 22 claims checked by other fact-checking organisations, from 2019 to 2023. The ratings are theirs, in their own words.
“THREE DOCTORS From the Same Hospital 'Die Suddenly' in the Same Week After Hospital Mandates Fourth COVID Shot.”
FactCheck.org says: A false claim casting doubt on the live-saving COVID-19 vaccines suggests that three Canadian doctors died from the shots. But, in reality, they each died of a long-term illness unrelated to the vaccines.
“In 2020, “250,000 ballots were manufactured” in Georgia and “Biden was given win” by Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger”
PolitiFact says: Results the morning after Election Day in Georgia showed that Trump was ahead of Biden. But the state’s results website warned that the results were unofficial and may not include all absentee and provisional ballots.
“New Data from Walgreens Reveals Unvaccinated Have the Lowest Positivity Rate for COVID. ... Obviously, the vaccines are not working as advertised.”
FactCheck.org says: Walgreens said on its dashboard — and in a detailed report — that the positivity rates are unadjusted and can “lead to misinterpretation.” That data "cannot be used to reach vaccine efficacy conclusions,” it said.
“Una lista de atletas lesionados por las vacunas contra el COVID-19 “muestra que puede haber algo malo con la vacuna".”
FactCheck.org says: No hay ninguna prueba de que las vacunas hayan perjudicado a los atletas de la lista, la mayoría de ellos, de hecho, retirados.
“A list of athletes injured by COVID-19 vaccines "shows that there may be something wrong with the vaccine.”
FactCheck.org says: A partisan website used a list of supposedly vaccine-injured athletes to claim "there may be something wrong with the vaccine." But there's no proof that the listed athletes were harmed by the vaccines.
“Because of omicron, “the Biden administration has decided to leave the U.S. southern border completely open.”
PolitiFact says: In September, the last month for which data was available, immigration officials recorded 192,001 encounters at the border, including 102,673 expulsions. No policies have changed since then to make crossing easier.
“Fairfax County (Va.) is not requiring the last four digits of Social Security Numbers on absentee ballots in this election.”
PolitiFact says: The article garbled the nature of a lawsuit against Fairfax County’s elections office. Under state law, absentee ballots do not require Social Security numbers. Instead, the suit challenged applications for mail ballots.
“Democrats “manufactured votes from low income voters to steal the battleground states.”
PolitiFact says: The Gateway Pundit used a study of low-income voters to falsely claim that Democrats used low-income voters to steal the election. The article conflated voter outreach with voter fraud without evidence.
“Dr. Anthony Fauci and U.S. health officials plotted “for a new avian flu virus to enforce universal flu vaccination.”
PolitiFact says: The reference -- at a public event recorded by C-SPAN -- to a “universal” flu vaccine meant one that could provide long-lasting protection against multiple flu strains, eliminating the need for annual flu shots.
“Nuevo estudio israelí establece que las personas plenamente vacunadas corren un ‘riesgo mayor de hospitalización’ y tienen 13 VECES MÁS PROBABILIDADES de contraer Covid-19 que aquellos que se han recuperado y tienen inmunidad natural”.”
FactCheck.org says: El estudio halló una inmunidad contra la variante delta aún mayor en personas que recibieron una dosis de la vacuna de Pfizer/BioNTech y que tuvieron una infección del nuevo coronavirus que causa el COVID-19.
“New Israeli Study Finds Fully Vaccinated People are at ‘Greater Risk of Hospitalization’ and 13 TIMES MORE LIKELY to Catch Covid-19 Than Those Who Have Recovered and Have Natural Immunity.”
FactCheck.org says: The study found that people who had COVID-19 and got a shot of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine had more immunity against the delta variant. And other studies show vaccination provides stronger protection than past infection.
“New Israeli study finds fully vaccinated people are at ‘greater risk of hospitalization’ and 13 times more likely to catch COVID-19 than those who have recovered and have natural immunity.”
PolitiFact says: The claim suggests that people are better off going unvaccinated. But peer reviewed studies repeatedly have found that vaccinated people are more likely to avoid hospitalization or death if they become infected.
“COVID cases in India plummet after government promotes ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine use.”
PolitiFact says: India's COVID-19 cases began to drop only after a nearly vertical spike. Neither drug is approved in the US for COVID-19. The FDA and the World Health Organization recommend not using them to prevent or treat the virus.
“An Italian lawmaker called for Bill Gates to be tried for “crimes against humanity”
“Stanford Study Results: Facemasks are Ineffective to Block Transmission of COVID-19 and Actually Can Cause Health Deterioration and Premature Death.”
“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 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.
“Una hora después de que Joe Biden jurara, la OMS admite que sus pruebas exageran groseramente los individuos con resultados positivos de COVID.”
FactCheck.org says: La guía de uso de la OMS simplemente le recordaba a los laboratorios seguir atentamente las instrucciones proporcionadas por los fabricantes de cada prueba.
