| FALSE | Claim by Tucker Carlson: Silicon Valley Bank “donated $73M to ‘BLM Movement.
Politifact rating: False (Black Lives Matter is not one entity with a set agenda. It is a decentralized international activist movement with no formal hierarchy.

Claim that Silicon Valley Bank donated $73 million to Black Lives Matter is unsupported |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim by Peter McCullough, Ben Lynch: “Dissolution of Spike Protein by Nattokinase: Holy Grail of COVID-19 Vaccine Detoxification”; long COVID is caused by persistent spike protein in the body
Health Feedback rating: Incorrect (There’s no evidence that the spike protein generated through vaccination causes harm. COVID-19 vaccines haven’t been shown to be toxic, so it is unnecessary to “detox” from it.) |
| BLATANT LIE |
