Media Bias Fact Check selects and publishes fact checks from around the world.

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

| TRUE | Claim by Dan Sullivan (R): ‘Republican Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan claimed in a July 16 interview that only 7 out of the 31 countries in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) spend 2 percent or more of their gross domestic product (GDP) on defense’
Check Your Fact rating: True (7 NATO members met the 2% GDP target in 2022, according to NATO. This number is expected to rise to 11 in 2023.) FACT CHECK: Do Only Seven NATO Countries Spend 2 Percent Of Their GDP On Defense? |

| FALSE | Claim by The Florida Standard: “New Study Links Pfizer’s COVID Vaccine to ‘Turbo Cancer’”

This mouse had already shown signs of illness even before receiving the vaccine, suggesting the cancer could have well been present before the vaccine was administered. No other mice in the study were found to have cancer.) Claim that a mouse study shows COVID-19 vaccine causes “turbo cancer” distorts study findings |
