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)

| TRUE | Claim via Social Media: Video authentically depicts attendees of the Democratic National Convention covering their ears as protesters read out the names of children killed in Gaza.

Claim by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (I): “HHS Secretary Becerra just issued a PREP Act declaration for bird flu. This allows the FDA Commissioner to issue EUAs for bird flu vaccines, with no liability.”
FactCheck.org rating: False (The claims of a conspiracy surrounding bird flu preparedness are unfounded and based on misinterpretations of routine public health actions.) Bird Flu Pandemic Preparedness Activities Are Not Evidence of a Conspiracy |
| FALSE | (International: United Kingdom): The AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine contains mpox.
Full Fact rating: Incorrect (The vaccine contains a modified virus that usually infects chimpanzees but this can’t lead to humans developing mpox or any other disease.) |
