Media Bias Fact Check selects and publishes fact checks from around the world. We only utilize fact-checkers who 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)

| FALSE | Claim via Social Media: Former President Joe Biden’s cancer is a form of “turbo cancer” caused by mRNA vaccines.
Politifact rating: False (COVID-19 mRNA vaccines don’t cause cancer or enhance cancer’s progression. Prostate cancer with a Gleason scale score of 9, as former President Joe Biden has, is aggressive and can develop fast, a urology professor said. But that doesn’t mean it’s “turbo cancer.”) No, Joe Biden didn’t get ‘turbo cancer’ from COVID-19 vaccines. There’s no such thing. |

Claim by Scott Bessent: “Gasoline prices have collapsed under President Trump.”
PolitiFact rating: Mostly False (Despite some wobbles, prices at the gas pump remain essentially the same as when President Donald Trump was sworn in Jan. 20. The price of crude oil has fallen by 17.5% during that period. These savings have not yet passed on to consumers. A significant reason for the crude oil price drop: rising fears of a global recession related to Trump’s tariff policy.) Gasoline prices haven’t “collapsed” under Donald Trump, despite what Scott Bessent said |
| FALSE | (International: India): US President Donald Trump said that he offered PM Modi that US could intervene between India-Pak conflict but, PM Modi refused and said that he could do it himself.
