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. When appropriate we explain the rating and/or offer our own rating if we disagree with the fact-checker. (D. Van Zandt)

| FALSE | Claim via Viral Image: Bergen County in New Jersey gave more votes to the Democratic gubernatorial candidate after all the ballots were counted.
Politifact rating: False (The percentage of votes each gubernatorial candidate had changed even after it looked like 100% of the ballots were counted. But that figure only reflected ballots cast at the polls, not mail-in ballots, provisional ballots, or early voting ballots.) No, Bergen County didn’t find more votes for Phil Murphy after all the ballots were counted |

| FALSE | (International: Australia): Data from Israel shows COVID-19 vaccines don’t reduce hospitalisations.
Australian Associated Press rating: False (The data shows that those who have been vaccinated are significantly less likely to be hospitalised after contracting COVID-19 than the unvaccinated.) Suggestion vaccinated COVID-19 patients dominate Israel hospitals is ‘fake news’ |
