“A Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) não recomenda vacinação obrigatória contra Covid-19 em menores de 5 anos”
Publisher’s rating: Rating unavailable
Het woord boterham zal uit de Nederlandse taal verdwijnen. Volgens een voedseldeskundige zet het aan tot ongezonde keuzes.
Publisher’s rating: De sceenshot die gedeeld wordt is gemaakt van een artikel van Nieuwspaal, een bekende satirewebsite. De inhoud is dus als grap bedoeld, en niet echt. Voedingsdeskundige De Lange bestaat niet.
Aucun enfant de la communauté Amish n'a reçu un diagnostic de cancer, d'autisme ou d'insuffisance cardiaque.
Publisher’s rating: Non, il n'existe aucune preuve pour étayer ces affirmations. Des études montrent au contraire la présence de ces maladies chez les enfants de la communauté Amish. La vaccination n'est pas non plus formellement interdite, même si de nombreux membres y sont réticents.
The review finds the claim unsupported: research has documented autism-related conditions, illnesses linked to heart failure, and cancers among Amish children. It also reports that vaccination is uncommon in some Amish communities but not prohibited.
Porque a vacina tem muitos conservantes e tem muita gente com essa síndrome [...]

Post compartilha um artigo traduzido e publicado no site de uma jornalista e intitulado: “Estados Unidos: Médicos americanos após examinar mil pacientes descobriram que a ‘covid longa’ se desenvolveu em 70% dos casos após a vacina e não após a infecção”. A autora completa a postagem afirmando que “diante de todas essas informações os governos continuam inertes” e marcando o perfil do escritor do texto.
Publisher’s rating: Enganoso
The post claimed that post-COVID conditions were caused by vaccines rather than by SARS-CoV-2. The review says health authorities and specialists reject that claim and that it has no basis in published scientific studies.
"Elektrosensible" Personen würden krank durch elektrische, magnetische oder elektromagnetische Felder wie beim Mobilfunk.
Publisher’s rating: Wissenschaftlich ist bisher keinerlei Verbindung nachgewiesen. Stattdessen wird der sogenannte Nocebo-Effekt als Auslöser der Beschwerden vermutet.
Advogado lista em vídeo uma série de casos de pessoas famosas que foram diagnosticadas recentemente com pneumonia e questiona se a covid virou pneumonia. Ele afirma ainda que “na época do Bolsonaro, tudo era covid.”
Publisher’s rating: Enganoso
The review says the video misleadingly suggests that pneumonia diagnoses among public figures are being used to mask COVID-19 cases, but none of the cited cases has a proven connection to COVID-19. It notes that Ivete Sangalo developed pneumonia after a viral infection, Abilio Diniz was diagnosed with pneumonitis rather than pneumonia, and Luciula do Recanto had bacterial pneumonia caused by leptospirosis.
Pneumonia encobre casos de covid-19
Publisher’s rating: ENGANOSO
The review says a social media video misleadingly suggested that pneumonia diagnoses among public figures were being used to conceal COVID-19 cases. It reports that none of the cited cases had a proven connection to COVID-19 and explains that pneumonia can be caused by different agents, including SARS-CoV-2, but is a distinct disease. [S1]
دانشمند ژاپنی برنده نوبل پزشکی بخاطر فواید روزه در جلوگیری از سرطان مسلمان شد
Publisher’s rating: شاخدار
“Prema grupi znanstvenika sa Sveučilišta Cambridge, NAJMANJE 25% populacije sada pati od ekstremnih imunoloških odgovora na otrovne kemikalije pronađene u cjepivima protiv Covida.”

Fasting can cure cancer
Publisher’s rating: Fasting is not a one-size-fits-all solution, contrary to what social media may claim. While intermittent fasting and calorie restriction have shown some health benefits, such as improved insulin sensitivity and reduced inflammation, there is no conclusive evidence to support the claim that fasting can cure cancer.
Službena britanska studija potvrdila je da više od jedne milijarde ljudi diljem svijeta sada ima sindrom stečene imunodeficijencije ( VAIDS ) kao izravnu posljedicu uzimanja mRNA Covid injekcije.

Suramina elimina vacina do organismo de imunizados contra a covid
Publisher’s rating: FALSO
The review found no evidence that suramin can eliminate a COVID-19 vaccine or counteract its effects in immunized people. It says a 2023 study examined suramin’s possible effect on SARS-CoV-2 infection, but did not address removing vaccine-generated spike protein from the body.
