“Si crees que el cáncer de piel aparece por culpa del sol, eres el rey de los ignorantes.”

Cuidado ... Açúcar baratinho que o governo comprou da China, é para lhe matar - Confira o teste 🫣
Publisher’s rating: Falso
Único exame que comprova que você esta bem após vacina da covid-19
Publisher’s rating: ENGANOSO
The review says the post falsely claims that a clinical test can prove someone is well after COVID-19 vaccination and uses a video attributing fatigue and memory problems to vaccines. It states that these symptoms are associated with post-COVID conditions and that no clinical test can diagnose that condition.
La ivermectina es útil para tratar y curar el cáncer.
Publisher’s rating: Falso. No hay evidencia científica que demuestre que la ivermectina sea efectiva para tratar o curar el cáncer.
De ziekte van Lyme is een biowapen, ontworpen in opdracht van het Amerikaanse leger.
Publisher’s rating: Nee, Lyme is geen biowapen. De bacterie die de ziekte veroorzaakt kwam al zo'n 60.000 jaar geleden in de natuur van Noord-Amerika voor. De bacterie werd pas ontdekt door tekenexpert Willy Burgdorfer in 1981, dat was nadat president Nixon het Amerikaanse biowapenprogramma afschafte in 1969.

Publisher’s rating: نادرست
194 pays de l'OMS conviennent d'arrêter les citoyens qui s'opposent au vaccin contre la grippe aviaire – Blackout des médias.
Publisher’s rating: Ces allégations sont fausses. Les pays membres de l'OMS ont adopté une série d'amendements au Règlement sanitaire international (RSI) début juin. Mais aucun d'entre eux n'appelle à arrêter les opposants au vaccin contre la grippe aviaire. L'OMS n’a en outre pas le pouvoir d'imposer des lois dans ses pays membres.
WHO member countries adopted amendments to the International Health Regulations in early June 2024, but none called for arresting people opposed to avian-flu vaccination. The review also notes that the WHO cannot impose laws on member countries.

Publisher’s rating: The claim is False
Anthony Fauci inventó las reglas de distanciamiento social de dos metros y la obligatoriedad del uso de mascarillas por niños, sin base científica.
Publisher’s rating: Falso. Las recomendaciones de distanciamiento social y uso de mascarillas por niños fueron emitidas por el CDC y se basaron en evidencia científica y consideraciones de salud pública durante la pandemia de COVID-19.
Pessoas vacinadas contra covid têm miocardite e pericardite
Publisher’s rating: ENGANOSO
The review says myocarditis and pericarditis after mRNA vaccination are known but rare, and that the cited preprint does not establish that these conditions occur only in vaccinated people. It also reports that peer-reviewed studies found myocarditis risk was higher after SARS-CoV-2 infection than after vaccination.
El Tribunal de Apelaciones de los Estados Unidos dictaminó que las inyecciones de ARNm de COVID-19 no son vacunas.
Publisher’s rating: Engañoso. El tribunal no emitió un juicio definitivo sobre la naturaleza de las vacunas de ARNm; solo permitió que una demanda avanzara sin decidir sobre el mérito de las características de las vacunas de ARNm. Y mucho menos sobre su definición.
194 WHO-landen komen overeen om burgers te arresteren die tegen het vogelgriepvaccin zijn.
Publisher’s rating: Nee, want in de nieuwe amendementen die onlangs werden aangenomen wordt geen woord gerept over de vogelgriep. De WHO heeft daarnaast geen enkele bevoegdheid om wetten in landen op te leggen, ook niet via de nieuwe amendementen.
Dutch study linked 35 million excess deaths to COVID-19 vaccines
Publisher’s rating: Misleading
Post afirma que Anthony Fauci “foi novamente exposto” no Senado norte-americano. “A covid-19 foi oficialmente desmascarada como um projeto do governo dos Estados Unidos. Um vírus desenvolvido por cientistas norte-americanos usando um laboratório biológico na China”, escreve o autor do conteúdo, que acompanha vídeo do congressista Ronny Jackson fazendo críticas a Fauci. No início do vídeo, a legenda sobre a imagem de Fauci sugere que ele teria dito: “Nós criamos a covid e deletamos todos os documentos de sua origem”.
Publisher’s rating: Enganoso
The review says the post misleadingly presents Ronny Jackson’s accusations at a June 3 hearing as evidence that Fauci confessed to creating COVID-19 and deleting records. It reports that there is no scientific evidence the virus was created in the Wuhan lab and no evidence Fauci deleted emails about the virus’s origin. The emails cited in the post did not say Fauci was hiding the truth about a lab origin.
The report on 166 overseas Filipino workers testing positive for human immunodeficiency virus is recent.
Publisher’s rating: Misleading
US-Berufungsgericht entscheidet, dass Covid mRNA Injektionen keine Impfstoffe sind.
Publisher’s rating: Die Behauptung ist falsch. Das fragliche US-Gericht hat kein derartiges Urteil gesprochen.
The Ninth Circuit did not decide that Covid-19 mRNA injections are not vaccines. It overturned the lower court’s dismissal and sent the case back for further proceedings; the claimed vaccine-definition issue had not been examined on its merits.
Applying tomato juice on the skin thrice a day for two months removes varicose veins.
