History

Founded by Joe Martino in 2021, The Pulse is a clickbait, conspiracy, and quackery-level pseudoscience website. According to their about page, “The Pulse provides investigative journalism & analysis on current events, science, consciousness, solutions & more – with an inquiry into how current paradigms shape our society.”

The website lacks transparency as they do not clearly identify that Joe Martino is the owner.

Analysis / Bias

In review, The Pulse promotes numerous conspiracy theories and pseudoscience. For example, they promote 9/11 conspiracies such as 9/11: The Latest Science Collapses The Mainstream Narrative. Other topics you will find are alien visitations, chemtrails, anti-GMO propaganda, and anti-Vaxx articles such as this: Does The CDC Have Evidence To Support Their Statement “Vaccines Don’t Cause Autism?”



Regarding vaccines, The Pulse frequently promotes disinformation regarding Covid-19 vaccines, such as The COVID Vaccine Narrative Has Sunk, And The Powers That Be Have Stopped Trying To Hide It and Researchers Examine Autopsies of Two Boys Who Died Days After COVID Vaccine. There are no confirmed deaths involving children linked to the vaccines.

The VAERS website disclaims that “anyone can report an adverse event to VAERS” and that content is not vetted before being made public; therefore, there is likely a significant amount of misinformation published. We also highly recommend this article Understanding causality in adverse events after vaccination as a way to understand why VAERS does not prove causality and why the numbers should not be taken literally.

Failed Fact Checks

  • A third party has not fact-checked the Pulse; see examples above.
