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
FALSE | Claim via Social Media: “Child support card” in Delaware “controls what mothers can and cannot buy with child support money.”
Politifact rating: False (nope, prepaid debit card) No, Delaware doesn’t limit what parents can buy with child support payments |
FALSE | Claim by Disclose.tv: “60% of people being admitted to hospital with COVID-19 in England have had two doses of a coronavirus vaccine”
Health Feedback rating: Inaccurate (wrong, it is unvaccinated that makeup 60%) The majority of COVID-19 hospitalizations in the U.K. are among unvaccinated people |
FALSE | Claim via Social Media: “This week the military was moving big equipment into the major big cities preparing for the Maricopa audit results.”
PolitiFact rating: False (no evidence) No proof military is moving equipment into cities due to Maricopa audit |
FALSE | Claim by Judicial Watch: COVID-19 vaccines caused 895 serious reactions among military veterans
Health Feedback Rating: Misleading (VAERS reports alone don’t demonstrate causal relationships between a vaccine and adverse events, as these events can simply be incidental illnesses and deaths unrelated to vaccination.) |
MOSTLY FALSE |
Claim by Joe Rogan: The government is “monitoring SMS texts for dangerous misinformation about COVID vaccines.”
Politifact rating: Mostly False (The federal government is not involved with the effort, and there is no evidence that the government or the DNC is intercepting or monitoring private text messages.) Spotify’s Joe Rogan repeats inaccurate claim that ‘they are monitoring SMS texts’ |
FALSE | (International: Australia): The Australian Constitution’s ban on “civil conscription” means that mandated or coerced vaccinations are illegal.
Australian Associated Press rating: False Constitutional clause doesn’t ban vaccine mandates in Australia |
