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

| FALSE | Claim by Clayton Morris, Natali Morris: Bill Gates and health agencies are staging a new pandemic specifically targeting children; it might already be here according to the WHO or the UK government
Health Feedback rating: False (The video presented several public statements, events, and media headlines as evidence of a conspiracy by officials to stage a new pandemic caused by avian flu, such as avian flu monitoring reports in the U.K. and a fictitious virus used in an emergency simulation exercise. However, these sources are all unrelated to each other and several don’t even mention avian flu at all.) |
