Publisher’s rating: De video werd in maart 2020 opgenomen in het kader van de #SaveHands-Challenge van de Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie (WHO). Met de campagne werden mensen aangespoord hun handen grondig te wassen om de verspreiding van het coronavirus tegen te gaan.

The claim presents Ursula von der Leyen’s handwashing video as a demonstration of how to wash hands thoroughly while using little water. The investigation examined that specific video and whether it was made to promote water conservation. It reports that a reverse-image search led to the original video on the European Commission’s official YouTube channel, dated 23 March 2020. That provenance places the clip in the early pandemic period, rather than in the context of the later drought-related discussion described in the review. The review says the video was made for the World Health Organization’s #SafeHands Challenge, which encouraged people to wash their hands thoroughly to help prevent coronavirus spread. In the footage, von der Leyen washes her hands while humming the European anthem, and a banner describes the steps in the handwashing process. The investigation notes that the banner was removed from a newer version of the video that began circulating again on social media in early September 2022. That change helps explain why the circulating clip could be interpreted without its original explanatory context. The evidence supports a pandemic handwashing campaign as the video’s purpose, not a water-saving demonstration. The review does not provide measurements of the water used, so its account establishes the campaign context and provenance rather than quantifying the clip’s water consumption.

Images of the man suffering with lumpy skin disease after consuming milk/meat from the infected animals

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The claim concerns images of a man said to have developed lumpy skin disease after consuming milk or meat from infected animals. FACTLY’s review addresses those specific images and the asserted route of infection. It says lumpy skin disease is non-zoonotic—meaning it cannot pass from animals to people—and reports that no human cases had been reported. The review also cites a veterinary official’s statement that milk from infected cattle is safe to consume, while noting that processing such as boiling or pasteurisation inactivates or destroys the virus. To check the image’s provenance, the review says it ran a reverse-image search and found the same images circulating since May 2022 as purported monkeypox cases at Jinnah Hospital in Lahore, Pakistan. It then consulted an interview with the hospital’s medical superintendent: according to the review’s account, a patient admitted in the last week of Ramzan had pemphigus vulgaris and herpes infections, was treated, and was discharged a week later. The review adds that the test reports did not link the case to monkeypox. Thus, its account identifies a different diagnosis and an earlier, Pakistan-based context for the pictured man—not lumpy skin disease contracted from infected animals. Taken together, the review’s evidence contradicts both the claimed diagnosis and the proposed animal-to-human transmission. Its conclusion is specific to the post’s images and the claim made about them; the supplied article does not provide the underlying hospital interview or test reports in full.
