De Amish zijn officieel uitgeroepen tot de gezondste kinderen van de wereld na het afwijzen van vaccins. Ze hebben geen autisme, hartaandoeningen of ADHD.
Publisher’s rating: Dat grote onderzoek bestaat niet. De amish zijn zeer terughoudend wat vaccineren betreft, maar dat betekent niet dat vaccins helemaal niet gezet worden. Sluitende uitspraken over de gemeenschap zijn lastig te doen, door gebrek aan informatie.
paracetamol, a painkiller commonly used to mitigate fever and treat mild to moderate pain, cause liver toxicity
Publisher’s rating: Excess acetaminophen intake is the leading cause of drug-induced liver injury, one of the most common causes of liver failure.
Die im März 2020 verkündete Verschärfung der Risikobewertung von "mäßig" auf "hoch" gründete nicht auf einer fachlichen Einschätzung des RKI, sondern auf der politischen Anweisung eines externen Akteurs.
Publisher’s rating: Die Behauptung, dass keine fachliche Einschätzung zu der Entscheidung führte, ist irreführend. Mitte März 2020 stiegen die Corona-Fallzahlen in Deutschland an. Aus den Protokollen geht lediglich hervor, dass noch die Zustimmung einer bestimmten Person fehlte, um die Risikobewertung zu veröffentlichen. Mehrere Quellen gehen davon aus, dass es sich dabei um einen Mitarbeiter des RKI handelt.
![Image accompanying Post diz que “surto de dengue no Brasil aumenta em 400% após os mosquitos OGM [geneticamente modificados] de Bill Gates serem liberados propositalmente”. O text](https://f.i.uol.com.br/fotografia/2023/03/03/167786874864023ecc1b1ae_1677868748_3x2_rt.jpg)
Post diz que “surto de dengue no Brasil aumenta em 400% após os mosquitos OGM [geneticamente modificados] de Bill Gates serem liberados propositalmente”. O texto cita o “Programa Mundial de Mosquitos da ONU” e um “plano para liberar bilhões de mosquitos geneticamente editados no Brasil durante um período de 10 anos”.
Publisher’s rating: Falso
The review says the World Mosquito Program is partly funded by the Gates Foundation but is not related to the UN or to Brazil’s dengue surge. Although diagnoses rose 400% compared with 2023, the review attributes the increase to factors including climate conditions and says the program’s method uses mosquitoes with Wolbachia, not genetically edited mosquitoes.
Em vídeo, homem afirma que a Suprema Corte dos Estados Unidos julgou um caso aberto por Robert Kennedy Jr. contra farmacêuticas e decidiu que “vacinas contra covid-19 não são vacinas” e que “os danos causados pelas vacinas de mRNA são irreparáveis”. Sobre o vídeo, há uma legenda com a data de 11 de março de 2024.
Publisher’s rating: Falso
The review rates the claim false. It reports that a search of the U.S. Supreme Court’s website found no case involving Robert Kennedy Jr., and that the FDA called the video’s post misleading while saying COVID-19 vaccines’ benefits outweigh their risks.
De Deense overheid ontdekt dat DTP-vaccin dat Bill Gates aan Afrikaanse baby’s geeft meer kinderen doodt dan de ziektes waartegen het ze beschermt.
Publisher’s rating: De bron waar de beweringen op teruggaan, toont niet aan dat het DTP-vaccin meer kinderen doodt dan redt. Het sterftecijfer van gevaccineerde meisjes ligt lang niet tienmaal zo hoog als bij ongevaccineerde kinderen, maar het vaccin verhoogt inderdaad weldegelijk hun risico op overlijden aan andere aandoeningen dan DTP. Dat de helft van de kinderen als gevolg van de vaccinaties voor het vijfde levensjaar overlijdt, is verzonnen.
Östrogene im Trinkwasser machen Männer unfruchtbar. Diese gelangen über Klärwerke in Flüsse und Seen und von dort ins Trinkwasser.
Publisher’s rating: Experten halt das für extrem unwahrscheinlich. Trinkwasser ist ein streng kontrolliertes Lebensmittel in Deutschland. Es gibt keine Daten, die darauf hindeuten, dass Trinkwasser Östrogene enthält. Allerdings können Umweltchemikalien, die wie Östrogene wirken, über alte Leitungen ins Wasser gelangen.
Covid longa se desenvolveu após vacina, dizem pesquisadores
Publisher’s rating: ENGANOSO
The review says the post misrepresented an opinion article by two doctors, which reported that about 70% of their patients said symptoms began after vaccination; it was not a peer-reviewed scientific study. Experts and Brazil’s Ministry of Health say long COVID follows SARS-CoV-2 infection, and the review says the cited observation did not establish that vaccines caused it.
“Zato svi koji su primili taj otrov u sebe neka povedu računa da se ne izlažu pretjeranim fizičkim aktivnostima kao što su plivanje, trčanje, vožnja biciklom i slično jer bi mogli postati statistika u “Sindromu Iznenadne Smrti Odraslih”.”

Ni se os ocurra comprar este arroz viene de Pakistán y trae virus
Publisher’s rating: Falso
INFOVERITAS reports that the viral message about Dana rice from Pakistan carrying a virus is unsupported: Spain’s consumer ministry said it had received no notifications of a virus carried by rice, and AESAN had no related alert. The review notes that European alerts involving Pakistani rice concerned aflatoxins, not viruses, and that those shipments were stopped at the border.
“Osim nano grafen-oksida u cjepivima/vakcinama se nalaze i nano čestice teških metala (ista priča je i sa kemtrejlsima) i od tih nano čestica se formiraju nano električna integrisana kola, u prijevodu vi ste nanočipovani (unijeli ste u vaš organizam naprednu tehnologiju), a zbog čega nastaju i ti krvni ugrušci.”

Is Cinnamon a cure for Neurodegenerative disorders?
Publisher’s rating: FALSE
The review says it found no evidence that cinnamon cures neurodegenerative disorders, while noting that some studies suggest possible neuroprotective effects. It cautions that findings are largely based on animal studies and that human clinical trials are needed to establish cinnamon’s safety and efficacy.

“Essa vacina [aplicada em crianças no Brasil] é feita com a cepa original de Wuhan 2019”
