BLATANT LIE	Claim via Social Media: A new study proves that the Pfizer mRNA COVID-19 induces “turbo cancer.” Lead Stories rating: False (The study cited in the social media post doesn’t show that the Pfizer mRNA COVID-19 vaccine induces something called “turbo cancer.” Additionally, a cancer expert wrote, “‘Turbo cancer’ is not a thing.” It’s not a recognized medical term.)

BLATANT LIE	Claim via Social Media: A video shows Disney is opening pediatric transgender clinics. Politifact rating: False (Satire shared by the gullible. The man in the video is Mark Dice, a conservative YouTuber, who often speaks at local council meetings in the public comment portion to satirically mock perceived liberal causes.)
