Let's take a look at the latest absurd bullshiat being pushed by anti-vaxxers. Claim: Women vaccinated against COVID-19 face "unknown side effects that could perpetually go down through the lineage" to their children. COVID-19 vaccines not a threat to children of vaccinated women, experts say COVID-19 vaccines don’t alter DNA, and their side effects are not transmissible, experts said. https://www.politifact.com/factchec...19-vaccines-not-a-threat-to-children-of-vacc/ An Instagram video made an unsubstantiated claim about women vaccinated against COVID-19. "I would not marry a woman who got the COVID-19 vaccine because there’s unknown side effects that could perpetually go down through the lineage," says the man in the video, posted Aug. 25. "Like, part of me being a man is being able to bring to the table the ability to produce offspring that then carry my name, my DNA, my lineage forward." The post was flagged as part of Meta’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram.) COVID-19 vaccines do not alter DNA, and their side effects are not transmissible. Epidemiologist Cindy Prins, a population health sciences professor at the University of Central Florida, said there is "no perpetual effect of COVID-19 vaccines on heredity. The vaccine does not make genetic changes to the egg or sperm that could be passed down to future generations." Prins and Dr. Amesh Adalja, senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, said the vaccines protect pregnant women against the coronavirus. The experts said the women’s bodies, in turn, will make antibodies that can also protect their newborn children. The experts also said vaccine side effects can’t be passed from mother to child. Side effects "are not transmitted from one generation to another," said Richard Watanabe, a University of Southern California professor of preventive medicine. Prins said vaccine side effects "can't have genetic repercussions or create inherited changes." And, she added, "those side effects won't create any changes in the body that can be passed down to children or grandchildren." We rate the claim that women vaccinated against COVID-19 face "unknown side effects that could perpetually go down through the lineage" to their children False.
Anti-vax nutcase Steve Kirsch making more Pants-on-Fire claims. This is a typical example of misusing VAERS data to make completely fabricated claims to push misinformation. Covid misinformation killed a minimum of 230,000 people in the U.S. and millions more around the globe. An activist misused federal data to falsely claim that COVID-19 vaccines killed 676,000 in the US The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed nine deaths linked to a COVID-19 vaccine that is no longer available in the US https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2023/covid-19-vaccines-killed-67600-americans-fact-check/ A blog post shared on Facebook claimed that COVID-19 vaccines have killed some 676,000 people in the U.S. The post was written by anti-vaccine activist Steve Kirsch, who has made other vaccine claims debunked by PolitiFact and other fact-checkers. Kirsch’s Aug. 6 post referred to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, a federal database. “VAERS data is crystal clear,” the headline read. “The COVID vaccines are killing an estimated 1 person per 1,000 doses (676,000 dead Americans).” The blog post was shared on social media and flagged as part of Meta’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram.) The data Kirsch used is from an anti-vaccine group’s alternative gateway to VAERS. VAERS, which includes unverified reports, cannot be used to determine whether a vaccine caused death. Kirsch did not reply to our request for information. “Statements that imply that reports of deaths to VAERS following vaccination equate to deaths caused by vaccination are scientifically inaccurate, misleading and irresponsible,” the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told PolitiFact. The CDC added that it “has not detected any unusual or unexpected patterns for deaths following immunization that would indicate that COVID vaccines are causing or contributing to deaths, outside of the nine confirmed” thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, or TTS, deaths following the J&J/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine, which is longer offered in the U.S. TTS, which causes blood clots, has occurred in approximately four cases per 1 million doses administered, according to the CDC. VAERS is run by the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration. It helps researchers collect data on vaccine aftereffects and to detect patterns that may warrant a closer look. The CDC cautions that VAERS results, which come from unverified reports that anyone can make, are not enough to determine whether a vaccine causes a particular adverse event. For the COVID-19 vaccines, VAERS has received a flood of reports, and they have become especially potent fuel for misinformation. Kirsch made his claim not using VAERS directly, but with an alternative gateway to VAERS from the anti-vaccine National Vaccine Information Center. That website draws on raw and limited VAERS reports, which can include information that is incomplete or inaccurate. These reports do not provide enough information to determine whether a vaccine caused a particular adverse event. There is no evidence that COVID-19 vaccines have killed people in the U.S. in large numbers, let alone 676,000. We rate the claim Pants on Fire!

A 'senior-level' CIA whistleblower has come forward to allege that the agency bribed analysts to change their opinion that Covid-19 most likely originated in a lab in Wuhan, China, according to the NY Post.
If the FBI and other federal agencies concluded that COVID came from the lab leak, why the hell would the CIA want to hide it's same finding and claim the wet market thing? What possible reasoning can explain this decision? To try to protect Fauci and his cost-of-gain funding?

Let's take a look at some of the crap being shoveled by anti-vax Covid-denier clowns this week. It's amazing the bullshiat that these idiots push. What's even more amazing is that there are people stupid enough to believe this disinformation being pushed by the anti-vax Covid-denier clowns. There is no connection between rising COVID cases and elections, contrary to claims online https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-covid-elections-spike-wave-064413082399 Fact Check-No new COVID mandates in Florida Air Force base, spokesperson says https://www.reuters.com/article/fac...ir-force-base-spokesperson-says-idUSL1N3AO0UJ Covid-19 vaccine doesn’t raise risk of catching and dying from the disease https://fullfact.org/health/chris-preddie-charles-hoffe-covid-vaccine/ Fact check: Activist misuses data to falsely claim COVID vaccines killed 676,000 https://www.seattletimes.com/nation...o-falsely-claim-covid-vaccines-killed-676000/ No, CDC didn't remove COVID-19 vaccine adverse events from its website | Fact check https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...aers-from-its-website-fact-check/70778255007/ Putting vaccines in water supply is a load of dribble https://www.aap.com.au/factcheck/putting-vaccines-in-water-supply-is-a-load-of-dribble/
Its not just about who claimed what, but when they claimed it. Many "credible" agencies and organizations claimed one thing when it suited them, and then lost it as the public figured out they were full of shite, and then later on they come out to agree that what was previous conspiracy was, in fact, true. They rely on the public having a short memory. That's what this whole thread is about. Its not about the "why", although that is interesting to follow up on (most of the "why" is about misdirection and control, but whatever). Instead, its to point out that all of the things we were told were "conspiracies" or "lies" or "misinformation" were, in fact, complete truth and ahead of their time. And the folks like the NPC_GWB_Trading were complete liars.
Covid misinformation killed a minimum of 230,000 people in the U.S. and millions more around the world. It is long overdue to start holding the Covid misinformers legally responsible for their fabrications. The latest fantasy from these anti-vax Covid denying clowns is to pretend that information that was deemed to be untrue will suddenly turn out to be true -- it was "just ahead of its time". This is not happening. The Reality: Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin to not prevent or cure Covid. Vaccines are safe and effective. This thread documents the obscene -- and obviously false -- misinformation pushed by anti-vax Covid-denying idiots.
