The Latest Fact Checks curated by Media Bias Fact Check 4/15/2021

Each day Media Bias Fact Check selects and publishes fact checks from around the world. We only utilize fact-checkers that are either a signatory of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) or have been verified as credible by MBFC. Further, we review each fact check for accuracy before publishing. (D. Van Zandt)

Claim Codes: Red = Fact Check on a Right Claim, Blue = Fact Check on a Left Claim, Black = Not Political/Conspiracy/Pseudoscience/Other

	Claim via Social Media: Foot Locker donated $200 million to BLM after their stores in Minneapolis got looted by BLM Lead Stories rating: False (No Evidence) Fact Check: NO Evidence Foot Locker Donated ‘200 Million Dollars To BLM’
	Claim by Liz Cheney (R): “Something less than 6% … of this proposal that President Biden has put forward is actually focused on infrastructure.” PolitiFact rating: Pants on Fire (narrow view of infrastructure) Liz Cheney’s dubious claim that just 6% of Biden plan is “infrastructure”
	Claim by Patrick Flynn (Chiropractor): “look at the [vaccination] schedule, we have gotten sicker and sicker”; “the biggest jump in shots came after the 1986 vaccine protection act” Health Feedback rating: Inaccurate (have you ever gone to a Chiropractor for a vaccination or a dentist for heart surgery?) The current US generation is healthier than previous ones partly because vaccines reduced infectious diseases; childhood immunization schedules are safe, contrary to chiropractor’s claims
