Neuer Brief der EMA enthüllt: Corona-Impfstoffe waren nicht dazu gedacht, Infektionen zu verhindern. Außerdem sollte niemand unter 60 Jahren geimpft werden.

Publisher’s rating: Nein. Das Schreiben wird falsch interpretiert. Die EMA betont darin weiterhin die Wirksamkeit und Effektivität der Corona-Impfungen. Der Übertragungsschutz war keine Voraussetzung für die Zulassung der Impfungen. In erster Linie sollte die Impfung vor schwerer Erkrankung schützen. Studien belegen, dass die Corona-Impfungen das Risiko einer schweren Erkrankung deutlich reduzieren. Der ursprünglich hohe Übertragungsschutz hat infolge neuer Virusvarianten abgenommen.

SPÖ-Chef Babler war vor dem Hochwasser noch nie als Feuerwehrmann im Einsatz.

Publisher’s rating: Das ist falsch. Babler ist Mitglied der Feuerwehr Traiskirchen und war auch bei früheren Einsätzen aktiv.

The review says Babler is a member of the Traiskirchen fire brigade and had participated in earlier operations, contradicting the claim that he had never served before the flooding. It points to Babler’s account of joining a volunteer fire brigade around 2001 and to records of his activity at earlier incidents. [S1]

Postagem utiliza trecho de um programa jornalístico para afirmar que Lula “disse na ONU que se o Brasil for invadido, ele entrega a nação”. A publicação acrescenta que “é o absurdo do absurdo”.

Publisher’s rating: Enganoso

The review says the post used an ironic remark by CNN political analyst Lourival Sant’anna, who was commenting on Lula’s remarks about Ukraine, rather than a statement by Lula that he would surrender Brazilian territory. It reports that there is no record of Lula saying he would surrender Brazilian territory if Brazil were invaded. [S1]

Das Plakat zeigt die Fahnung nach einem Mann, der in Bielefeld eine Elfjährige vergewaltigt hat.

Publisher’s rating: Das Plakat ist falsch, aktuell gibt es keinen solchen Fall in Bielefeld. Jemand hat das Foto des Mannes zusammen mit der Beschreibung eines 10 Jahre alten Verbrechens verbreitet. Die Polizei ermittelt nun gegen den oder die Verfasser der Fälschung.

The poster is fake: police said there was no such case or wanted notice in Bielefeld-Baumheide, and the pictured man was not connected to such a crime. The poster reused the description of a real crime from November 2012; police are investigating the forgery.

Lula teria dito na ONU que entregaria o Brasil no caso de uma invasão

Publisher’s rating: Enganoso

The review says a video clip was taken out of context: the claim came from political analyst Lourival Sant’anna’s sarcastic remark, not from Lula. Lula’s quoted remarks concerned Ukraine and diplomacy, and the review says there is no record of him saying he would surrender Brazilian territory in an invasion.
