99 % de la mortalité liée à la rougeole avait déjà disparu aux Etats-Unis, avant l'arrivée du vaccin au début des années 80.

Publisher’s rating: Cette affirmation est fausse. En réalité, la vaccination contre la rougeole a largement contribué à l'éradication de cette maladie dans de nombreux pays. Le vaccin contre la rougeole fait partie des vaccins les plus efficaces et les plus sûrs qui existent.

The review says the claim is false: the U.S. measles vaccine has been available since 1963, not the early 1980s, and the cited study does not support a 99% drop in measles mortality before vaccination.

Le Brésil connait une épidémie de dengue après le relachement de milliards de moustiques génétiquement modifiés orchestré par Bill Gates.

Publisher’s rating: Non, aucune preuve ne permet d'établir que Bill Gates soit à l'origine de l'épidémie de dengue qui sévit actuellement au Brésil. Le milliardaire est l'un des partenaires financiers du World Mosquito Program (WMP), qui lutte contre la transmission de virus comme la dengue. Mais cette initiative n'implique pas de modification génétique des moustiques.

The review found no evidence that Bill Gates caused Brazil’s dengue outbreak by releasing genetically modified mosquitoes. It says the World Mosquito Program (WMP), partly funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, uses mosquitoes carrying naturally occurring Wolbachia, not genetically modified mosquitoes.
