The Moderna and Pfizer Covid-19 vaccines cause heart damage.

Claim: Russia has allegedly placed its nuclear weapons on high alert, claims this post with close to 5 million views (at the time of publishing), sharing a video of what appears to be nuclear weapons being transported in Russia. Another post with more than 2 million views (at the time of publishing) alleges the US warned European allies that Russia was "preparing a 'disproportionate response' to today's attack on air bases."

Publisher’s rating: DW Fact check: Unproven While it's unclear whether US intelligence warned Europe about Russia lashing out disproportionately, the video shared by these accounts does not show recent movement of military equipment. The footage was originally published by Russia's Ministry of Defense on the instant messaging service Telegram on February 27, 2024: The intercontinental ballistic missile autonomous mobile launchers seen there were on a 400-kilometer (249-mile) route ahead of a military parade in Moscow, the post reads.

Media Bias Fact CheckEconomy & business

President Donald Trump claimed that "$7 to $8 trillion has been invested in the United States in the last two months."

Publisher’s rating: Mostly False

The review says Trump’s figure included announced or pledged investments that might take years to materialize, rather than money already invested. It also says similar investment announcements occurred during the Biden administration and that Trump did not distinguish committed capital from aspirational projections.
