Media Bias Fact Check selects and publishes fact checks from around the world. We only utilize fact-checkers that are either a signatory of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) or have been verified as credible by MBFC. Further, we review each fact check for accuracy before publishing. We fact-check the fact-checkers and let you know their bias. When appropriate, we explain the rating and/or offer our own rating if we disagree with the fact-checker. (D. Van Zandt)

Washington Post rating: False (Biden evacuated thousands.) Analysis | Fact-checking the fifth Republican presidential debate |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim via Social Media: COVID-19 vaccines cause leprosy.
