    NFL Player Damar Hamlin’s Cardiac Arrest Triggers Unfounded Social Media Claims - FactCheck.org - 1 year(s) ago

    Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field and suffered a cardiac arrest moments after taking a hit to his chest during a tackle. While it’s not yet known why his heart stopped, some experts say his condition is most likely due to a heart rhythm problem as a result of that impact. Still, people on social media have baselessly speculated that it was caused by a COVID-19 vaccine.

    Social Media Posts Misrepresent FDA's COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Research - FactCheck.org - 1 year(s) ago

    A vaccine safety surveillance study from the Food and Drug Administration has been misrepresented online. The paper did not establish a link between the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and blood clots, as some have claimed — and to date, other, more robust research has not identified such associations.

      Social Media Posts Misrepresent FDA's COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Research… “A person is much more likely to get a blood clot after being infected with COVID-19 than they are to get a clot after being vaccinated…” #covid19 #covidvaccine https://t.co/uQvd8tgrBF

    COVID-19 Vaccines Reduce, Not Increase, Risk of Stillbirth - FactCheck.org - 2 year(s) ago

    There is no link between COVID-19 vaccination and an increased risk of stillbirth, despite such claims online. In fact, vaccination has been shown in multiple studies to reduce the risk of stillbirth by protecting pregnant people and their babies from the coronavirus.

      Quelle surprise. Generally, at the worst, vaccines do not affect pregnancy outcomes, antivax claims that they cause stillbirths and miscarriages notwithstanding. https://t.co/4zBLKVnng3

    Biden Claims Too Much Credit for Decline in COVID-19 Deaths - FactCheck.org - 2 year(s) ago

    With the U.S. experiencing a major dip in the number of daily deaths as the omicron variant wave runs its course, President Joe Biden has repeatedly boasted that his “approach has brought down COVID deaths by 90%.” That figure is accurate, but experts say the dip is largely attributable to a number of factors outside the president’s control.

      In this piece I am quoted about how, though politicians try to claim credit, the decline in #COVID19 deaths is due to the scientists and companies that developed the vaccines and the healthcare workers who take care of the patients https://t.co/3epUhJHNXy

    Evidence Still Lacking to Support Ivermectin as Treatment for COVID-19 - FactCheck.org - 2 year(s) ago

    Randomized controlled trials haven’t found ivermectin is beneficial in treating COVID-19, although results for ongoing studies will provide a more definitive answer. Yet, a video presents two weak studies as “powerful” and “overwhelming” evidence that the medication works to combat COVID-19.

      Evidence Still Lacking to Support #Ivermectin as Treatment for #COVID19. Large, double-blind RCTs are coming which will provide a definitive answer on what is the effect. IVM is still very useful to treat Strongyloides before steroids https://t.co/ooKSDfrzGv via @factcheckdotorg
