Onderzoek toont aan dat mRNA in thee zit.
Publisher’s rating: mRNA is een kwetsbaar molecuul dat in een koude vriezer bewaard moet worden. Het zit dus niet in thee of in de rest van de voedselketen. Het onderzoek dat mRNA in thee zou aantonen bestaat niet.
Der Hausarzt hat die Behandlung eines Unfallopfers aufgrund seiner AfD-Parteizugehörigkeit abgelehnt.
Publisher’s rating: Irreführend. Zwar stimmt es, dass der Hausarzt dem AfD-Politiker etwa wegen dessen Parteizugehörigkeit gekündigt hat. Doch der Unfall, seit dem Nüßner im Rollstuhl sitzt, liegt bereits Jahre zurück. Zum Zeitpunkt der Trennung vom Arzt befand sich der Patient in keiner Notlage.
Post com foto de jornal alemão com o título “Protocolos secretos da Covid revelados” e a legenda: “Descobriram documentos oficiais do RKI (Robert Koch Institut), a ‘Anvisa alemã’, que confirmaram todas as teorias dos ‘negacionistas’. Segundo os próprios conselheiros do governo para a questão da pandemia, o ‘lockdown traria mais consequências maléficas do que o vírus. O uso de máscara era questionável e que a mortalidade da COVID era parecida com a da gripe’. Ou seja, tudo aquilo que quem falou, quando da pandemia, era perseguido e até processado criminalmente”.
Publisher’s rating: Enganoso
The review says the RKI documents recorded staff discussions and did not establish the institute’s official position: the RKI said individual statements in those discussions “do not necessarily reflect the agreed position of the RKI.” It also explains that the lockdown claim misrepresented a warning about child mortality in Africa, while the RKI recommended masks and reported far more Covid deaths than deaths in the cited severe flu season.

Publisher’s rating: Misleading
Suprema Corte dos EUA decidiu que vacinas contra a covid-19 não são vacinas
Publisher’s rating: FALSO
The review says the Supreme Court did not decide that COVID-19 vaccines are not vaccines or that mRNA vaccines cause irreparable harm. It reports that a search of the Court’s website found no case involving Robert Kennedy Jr., and that the FDA said vaccine benefits outweigh risks.

Can Apple Cider Vinegar remove moles, skin tags and warts?
Publisher’s rating: FALSE.
Medical Dialogues reports that a video misidentified a wart as a mole and says apple cider vinegar is not an established way to remove moles, skin tags, or warts. It warns that the vinegar’s acetic acid can burn skin and that its use as a home remedy is risky and unsupported by scientific evidence.
ขนมยี่ห้อ “Tattoo Popping Candy”มีส่วนผสมของสารเสพติดไม่ควรให้บุตรหลานรับประทานเด็ดขาด
Publisher’s rating: False
The review says the claim that Tattoo Popping Candy contains addictive substances is misleading. It identifies carbon dioxide as an ingredient that makes the candy pop in the mouth, rather than an addictive substance.
小林製薬の紅麹がありとあらゆる食品に赤色着色料として使われていた
Publisher’s rating: 誤り
The review distinguishes the red yeast rice made by Kobayashi Pharmaceutical from beni-koji color, a food additive used as a coloring agent. It says the additive is different from the product involved in the reported health concerns.
Surto de dengue no Brasil aumenta após mosquitos de Bill Gates serem liberados propositalmente.
Publisher’s rating: FALSO
The review says Brazil’s dengue outbreak was not caused by the Bill & Melinda Gates-funded mosquito program; the Brazil facility was still under construction. It reports that dengue diagnoses rose 400% compared with 2023, but attributes the increase to natural disease cycles and favorable climate conditions, not the program.
Japan verbiedt Covid-injecties vanwege het stijgende aantal plotselinge sterfgevallen.
Publisher’s rating: Beter niet, want er is niets van aan. Japan vaccineert nog steeds heel wat van zijn bevolking. De enige verandering is dat de vaccinatie vanaf april minstens voor een stuk zelf te betalen zal zijn. Voorheen nam de overheid alle kosten op zich.

Publisher’s rating: Uglavnom netočno, Dezinformacija
