Claim by David Icke: 5G at 60 GHz “stops the human body and blood absorbing oxygen”; this is what doctors are describing [in COVID-19 cases]
Health Feedback rating: Incorrect (The electromagnetic frequencies used in 5G don’t deprive the body of oxygen. On the contrary, it is oxygen that absorbs the energy from electromagnetic waves, causing these waves to progressively lose energy with distance. COVID-19 is a respiratory infectious disease caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2, not 5G technology.) Social media clips revive false claims by David Icke linking 5G and COVID-19 |

USA Today rating: False (Experts say the rising tally of polar bears reflects an increased ability to track bears – not an actual increase in the population. The graph is based on various estimates of the global population that include unscientific estimates, extrapolation and insufficient data sets, according to scientists.) Fact check: False claim global population of polar bears is increasing |

There’s other info that I’ve seen with my own eyes. I think your team is lazy, ether that our your veering left.
