Frase de ministra mostra que Bolsonaro foi perseguido na pandemia

Publisher’s rating: ENGANOSO

The review says the post took Health Minister Nísia Trindade’s remarks out of context: her statement that mass vaccination was not recommended concerned mpox, not COVID-19. It reports that she made the remarks in a CNN interview on August 21 and explained that mpox spreads through contact, unlike COVID-19’s broad transmission.

Video shows Hindus pelting stones during a protest.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The video shows the Bagwal fair in Uttarakhand, where participants traditionally throw stones at one another; it does not show a protest. The ritual takes place at the Devidhura temple in Champawat district and involves four clans.

PA MediaCulture & entertainment

During an acceptance speech for an award at the Sarajevo Film Festival American actress Meg Ryan launched a “merciless diatribe” at Meghan.

Publisher’s rating: There does not appear to be any evidence that these events took place, nor any evidence that the duchess was in Sarajevo for the festival. Meghan was in Colombia on a documented visit during much of the film festival, including the opening ceremony on August 16. A video of Meg Ryan’s acceptance speech and footage of the When Harry Met Sally and You’ve Got Mail actress from the red carpet before she was given the honour do not support the claims.

台風の進路をコントロールする海上移動式HAARP

Publisher’s rating: 誤り

The image depicts a U.S. Sea-Based X-Band Radar, part of a ballistic missile defense system, rather than a HAARP facility. The review says the radar is not a device that can affect a typhoon’s path and notes there is no scientific evidence that HAARP can change weather.

SBT NewsElections & voting

Lula recebeu votos nulos ou em branco nas eleições de 2022

Publisher’s rating: FALSO

The review says blank and null votes in the 2022 election were not counted for Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. It reports that a pastor and automation technologist alleged at a Senate hearing that these votes were illegally counted for Lula, but presented no evidence; the review says such votes are used only for statistical purposes.
