Publisher’s rating: CONTEXTUALIZANDO

The article explains that searches based only on the incomplete name “Guilherme Boulos” mixed up the candidate Guilherme Castro Boulos with a namesake. It recommends searching by CPF when possible, or using a person’s full name and checking other identifying details; appearing in a court case does not by itself mean someone committed a crime.

De eerste patiënt in Duitsland met apenpokken bevindt zich in de Schwabing kliniek, zoals bij de eerste corona patiënt. Beide werden behandeld door Clemens Wendtner.

Publisher’s rating: Het klopt dat de behandelend arts van de eerste covidpatiënt (in 2020) in Duitsland dezelfde was als die van de eerste persoon besmet met mpox (in 2022). Maar het gaat hier niet over de recente uitbraak van de nieuwe clade Ib variant van mpox, waarvan in Duitsland nog geen besmettingen zijn gemeld. Het is logisch dat beide patiënten in 2020 en 2022 in hetzelfde ziekenhuis behandeld werden, omdat er in de betreffende regio geen ander ziekenhuis is met dezelfde expertise. Er is recent in de EU geen nieuw medicijn tegen mpox goedgekeurd.

The government said there was no proposal to unlink the wage from inflation, and the Finance Ministry said the current rule adjusts it for inflation plus real GDP growth from two years earlier.

Publisher’s rating: Mostly False

Related reporting from ABP Live Lifestyle says caffeine may intensify period cramps, attributing this to blood-vessel constriction, and also says coffee may worsen menstrual discomfort. The excerpt presents these as possible effects; it does not establish that coffee worsens cramps for everyone.
