Independent fact-checkers have pointed out the flawed analysis used by D’Souza to connect cellphone location data and ballot site surveillance footage to suggest that more than 2,000 “mules,” or ballot stuffers, participated in an effort to undermine the integrity of the election. Election experts have done similarly. Yet, efforts to legitimize D’Souza’s film continue. A May 9 Facebook post claims that former GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy saw this film, \"2000 Mules,\" at the film’s May 5 Mar-a-Lago premiere and is convinced of “rampant cheating” in the 2020 election. Gowdy represented South Carolina’s 4th Congressional District from 2011 to 2019. \"I always believed that rampant cheating occurred but was skeptical that it could be proven,\" the post quotes Gowdy as saying. \"After watching the movie I am no longer skeptical.\" That post attracted more than 21,000 reactions and 9,000 shares in two days. But, Gowdy never said what the claim attributes to him. USA TODAY spoke with Gowdy, who confirmed that he did not attend the film’s May 5 Mar-a-Lago premiere and has not seen the film. Fact check:Viral post exaggerates corporate tax rates under President Dwight Eisenhower USA TODAY could not reach the Facebook account that posted the claim for comment. ## Gowdy: Claims about him are false USA TODAY reached out to Gowdy, who rejected the statements found in the claim. “Both assertions are completely false. Wasn’t at Mar a Lago. Haven’t seen the movie.” Gowdy told USA TODAY via email. “Didn’t even know there was a movie. So it’s 100% false.” Gowdy similarly disassociated himself from the misattributed quotation to other fact-checking outlets. Fact check:Your credit score doesn’t come from the government As reported by the Associated Press, the quote incorrectly attributed to Gowdy was actually from conservative commentator David Limbaugh, who tweeted that exact language on May 6. Limbaugh is the younger brother of legendary conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, who died in February 2021. ## Our rating: False Based on our research, we rate FALSE the claim that Gowdy said he watched \"2000 Mules\" at Mar-a-Lago and is convinced of “rampant cheating” in the 2020 election. USA TODAY spoke with Gowdy, who confirmed he has not seen the film and was not at Mar-a-Lago for a premiere of the film. ## Our fact-checking sources: * Associated Press, May 3, Gaping holes in the claim of 2k ballot ‘mules’ * Associated Press, May 10, Former US Rep.

Divya Chandra Published: 13 Apr 2020, 6:45 PM IST WebQoof 4 min read ![\\"story-hero- img\\"](\\" i Aa Aa Small Aa Medium Aa Large India has partially lifted a ban on export of anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), paving the way for its supply to the US and several other countries hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic. According to US President Donald Trump, the drug is yielding positive results. If successful, he said that it would be a gift from heaven. CLAIM Now, a viral message on social media claims that HCQ is found 100 percent in Kalonji seeds (Nigella sativa). It further advises to take half a teaspoon of the seeds with honey as a preventive measure against the novel coronavirus. Some users have shared a NDTV article with the headline: 10 Incredible Health Benefits Of Kalonji (Nigella Seeds), along with the message. ![\\"Experts](\\"\\") An archived version of the post can be found here.(Photo Courtesy: Facebook/ Screengrab) The message is being widely circulated on Facebook and Twitter. ![\\"Experts](\\"\\") ![\\"Experts](\\"\\") **(Click** **here** **for live updates on COVID-19.

The claim being made in the social media posts lacks medical evidence. Experts told The Quint that neither do Kalonji seeds contain hydroxychloroquine nor is there scientific data to prove that the seeds can cure COVID-19. The NDTV article that is being shared with the message dates back to 2018, which talks about the benefits of consuming Kalonji seeds which includes: strengthening immunity, protecting kidney, joint pain, blood pressure fluctuation among others.

Commenting on the study, Dr Shaheed Jameel, a leading virologist, asked how can a study be conclusive when it is itself recommending further testing. Explaining the meaning of in vitro and in vivo investigations, he said, “ In vivo means inside a body while in vitro in a layman terminology would be outside the body like in a test tube.” > “Kalonji seeds do not have hydroxychloroquine.

He further said that there is no data to back up the claim that kalonji can treat COVID-19. > “Even hydroxychloroquine as a cure for COVID-19 is not totally clear. It is > being used because there are some evidences and results which have shown > that HCQ has been helpful in the treatment. When HCQ itself is not clear, > how can anybody claim about kalonji, whether it has HCQ or not, as a cure > for COVID-19.” Dr Suranjit Chatterjee, Senior Consultant – Internal Medicine at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital An advisory released by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on the recommendations of ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research), said that HCQ is found to be effective against coronavirus in laboratory studies and in-vivo studies. However, its usage is advised to asymptomatic healthcare workers involved in the care of suspected or confirmed cases of COVID-19 and asymptomatic household contacts of laboratory-confirmed cases. We also found a study published in National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) which is a part of US’ National Institutes of Health that mentioned that chloroquine (anti-malarial drug), when mixed with Nigella sativa seeds, is effective in managing malaria in mice.

The seeds have thymoquinone (TQ) which is one of the active components and most of the pharmacological effects of the Nigella Sativa seeds are due to quinine constituent.

A substance that causes loss of sexual appetite has been detected in beer of this brand. The end of year festivities are over, many people are already thinking about what it will be like work next week (or are already working), some are hungover and a smaller group is hungover and worried about a story that has started to circulate on social networks and realizes that Heineken beer causes impotence sexual. A short message indicates that a man from Bahia became impotent after ingesting high doses of Heineken beer. The explanation would be a substance in the drink which would cause loss of sexual appetite in people. Read the message circulating online and is accompanied by an image of a man we have not identified: Man becomes impotent after too much Heineken A substance has been detected, which accelerates the process of loss of sexual appetite in men, leading to imminent impotence. Baiano is the first case registered in the country. Enterprise promises consumer support. ## Man became impotent after drinking too much Heineken beer? As we said at the beginning of the text, many people were worried about this information. But did Heineken beer really make a man impotent? because of a “substance”? The answer is no. Calm down and we'll explain everything for you. At first glance, the characteristics of the message do not inspire us with much confidence. THE text that circulates around is vague, alarmist, with Portuguese errors, a request for sharing and does not cite any reliable source. Furthermore, this This type of false alert is very common on the internet (in this text, we have 11 examples of false health tips and here we have a rumor about the evils of Skol). With this not very encouraging briefing, we looked for more details about the so-called history. In addition to not finding anything in reliable sources, we discovered that the story appeared on a very peculiar website: a “prank creator”. It works like this: you enter the page, create a joke and share it with your friends. friends (ha ha). On the home page, there is the following advertisement: “MAKE YOUR JOKE FAST WAY!” When browsing the page, we saw that Heineken's nonsense even resulted in a development: “(EXCLUSIVE) Second case of impotence after consumption excessive Heineken. A substance has been detected, which accelerates the process of loss of sexual appetite in men, leading to imminent impotence. The Santa- rosense (person's name) is the second case registered in the country. Company promises consumer support”, says the message. It is worth mentioning that, despite the warning that speaks of a widespread situation being false, experts point out that the systematic use of alcoholic beverages can cause, in the long term, erectile dysfunction. Already a drunken “one of those” too it can cause problems (and you don’t even need to be an expert to know that). However, the problem is not restricted to one brand or type of drink. Never if Forget the saying “drink in moderation”. In short: the story that shows that a man became impotent after drinking high doses of Heineken beer are fake. Although alcoholic beverages have the capacity to cause problems with performance in bed, the cases in question are not nothing more than a “joke” created in a “collaborative” way on a website specialized in this niche.

(AP) By D.L. Davis April 1, 2022 # Ad claiming Evers tried to ‘make us pay even more at the pump’ is running on half tank #### If Your Time is short * A proposal from Evers, which was ultimately rejected by Republican lawmakers, would have increased the gas tax by 8-cents per gallon and indexed future increases to inflation. * At the same time, the governor pushed to end the state’s \"minimum markup law\" on gasoline. * Evers officials argued that would create a net savings for drivers. * But there is debate about whether there would be long-term savings from such a change, since other factors play important roles in pricing. See the sources for this fact-check Drivers are taking a hit to the wallet as world events, such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, are causing crude oil prices to increase, sending gasoline prices to record-breaking levels. During the week of March 7, 2022, the average national gas price hit $4.104 per gallon according to GasBuddy.com. The previous all-time high was set in 2008 at $4.103 per gallon. Since then, prices have nudged downward, with GasBuddy reporting $3.69 to $3.79 per gallon in Milwaukee, Franklin, Wauwatosa and Waukesha and $3.85 in Lannon on April 1. In the midst of that, an affiliate of Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC) – the WMC Issues Mobilization Council – released a TV ad that slammed Gov. Tony Evers’ economic record. Among the claims in the ad: Evers \"tried to make us pay even more at the pump by hiking the gas tax.\" Is the group right? Plan ties gas tax to rate of inflation When asked for backup or the claim, Nick Novak, WMC’s vice president of communications and marketing, pointed to the Legislative Fiscal Bureau’s summary of Evers’ proposed 2019-21 budget. On page 406, under the heading \"Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax Rate Increase,\" is the following: \"Increase the motor vehicle fuel tax rate (gasoline, gasoline blended with ethanol, and diesel) by eight cents per gallon resulting in a rate of 38.9 cents per gallon, effective October 1, 2019. The current motor vehicle fuel tax rate has been in effect since April 1, 2006, when the final annual indexing adjustment increased the rate to the current 30.9 cents per gallon rate.\" In other words, the gas tax would be increased and – in the future – be tied and rise automatically with the rate of inflation. That’s what’s meant by indexing. For instance, the fiscal bureau estimated the gas tax under the plan would rise to 39.7 cents in April 2020 and 40.5 cents in April 2021. These increases would have cost Wisconsinites $41.6 million over the 2019-21 budget period. (A more recent memo from the bureau, dated March 31, 2022, estimated that the indexing would have brought the total to 42.0 cents per gallon on April 1, 2022. ) So, Evers definitely pushed a gas tax increase. But that’s only part of the picture. When the increase was proposed – with the money it generated to go toward increased transportation funding – Evers also proposed eliminating the state’s longstanding minimum markup law for gasoline. The minimum markup law was created during the Great Depression to protect small business from larger rivals. The law mandates a price floor where goods like gas, groceries, and beer are \"marked up\" so they are not used as \"loss leaders\" at a price level where the other businesses can’t compete. #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" ![](\\" Wisco Project stated on September 16, 2024 in Social media ads “If you make less than $100,000, Trump is about to raise your taxes. Currently, you’re taxed at 10% and then 12%. He would raise that to a flat rate of 15%.” ![\\"true\\"](\\" false/33efdb6633e5e2fdc2d4e2f63383a1e0.jpg.\\") ![\\"false\\"](\\" false.jpg\\") By Madeline Heim • September 20, 2024 The state Department of Administration – overseen by Evers – said repealing the minimum markup law (which it labeled a \"hidden tax\") would save up to 14-cents per gallon. In other words, the Evers plan would have resulted in a net reduction for drivers at the pump of 6 cents per gallon. (From that perspective, even with rises tied to indexing in the subsequent years, based on the new fiscal bureau memo there would still be a per-gallon savings – though, of course, this is taking a narrow look at the gas tax, not overall economic matters that would affect price.) At the time, the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, a conservative law firm, in an analysis of the Evers proposal noted elimination of the minimum markup law \"could immediately put more money back into the pockets of hard- working Wisconsinites all over the state\" but argued it \"should be fully repealed – not just for gasoline – and it should not be contingent on a tax increase.\" The idea from Evers was not entirely new. Republican lawmakers floated a similar plan in 2017 that would have raised the gas tax while curbing the minimum markup law, but the idea flopped when then- Gov. Scott Walker said he would not back it. This time, the GOP-held Legislature ultimately rejected Evers’ proposal and instead raised the title fee paid when vehicles are purchased by 137%, from $69.50 to $164.50. They also raised annual vehicle registration fees by $10, from $75 to $85. In any case, all of that goes against the idea that the primary aim of Evers’ plan was to simply raise the gas tax Kayla Anderson, an Evers campaign spokeswoman, said the governor \"was intentionally trying to ensure consumers would pay less at the pump, not more, by repealing the state\'s minimum markup law. Studies from both sides of the aisle have shown that the minimum markup law results in higher prices for consumers.\" That’s fair, to a point. But Novak, the WMC spokesman, noted \"even the Legislative Fiscal Bureau explained at the time that there may not be a change in the retail price of fuel by repealing the minimum markup law.\" Indeed, a March 2019 summary of the governor’s 2019-21 budget from the fiscal bureau said: \"Changes in retail fuel prices as a result of the provision, if any, would be subject to a variety of market and competitive factors, which are assumed to exert considerable influence on final retail prices independent of the statutory markup.\" Our ruling A WMC Issues Mobilization Council ad claimed Evers \"tried to make us pay even more at the pump by hiking the gas tax.\" In his first budget, the governor did propose an increase in the gas tax. But the ad ignores what was coupled with it: A move to eliminate the state’s \"minimum markup\" law as it relates to gasoline, which Evers and his office argued would be a net reduction for drivers. The inclusion of the elimination of the minimum markup law for gasoline in the plan undermines the idea that Evers was trying to make consumers pay more. At the same time, it was – and remains – far from clear that the elimination would reduce prices in the long run. And we have already seen, with inflation, that much of that initial savings would already have been eaten up. For a statement that is partially accurate but leaves out important details or takes things out of context, our rating is Half True. #### Read About Our Process The Principles of the Truth-O-Meter ### Our Sources Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce Issues Mobilization Council, campaign ad.

See the sources for this fact-check Communities around the country have responded differently to social distancing recommendations, with some cities and states directing residents to shelter in place while others have resisted shutting down. A recent Facebook post seems to pointedly illustrate these differences with three photos. \"After they announce to everyone to ‘stay at home,’\" the text above three different images says. The first two show empty cityscapes and are labeled \"Chicago\" and \"New York.\" The third shows a highway clogged with cars. This photo is labeled \"South Carolina.\" The post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.) ![](\\" That supposed photo of South Carolina? It’s Houston. The Houston Chronicle ran it with a 2017 story about traffic congestion.

We found it posted to a website called desktopbackground.org three years ago. The photo is reversed. Only the photo labeled New York actually shows Times Square in New York City during the pandemic. It’s true that South Carolina was behind New York and Chicago in issuing statewide orders limiting the movements of its residents. Charleston and Columbia, S.C., told people to stay at home before the state issued its statewide mandate. Gov. Henry McMaster didn’t direct all South Carolinians to follow suit until this month. The order was effective on April 7. But this Facebook post misrepresents what that looked like in South Carolina, using an old photo of Houston to claim that South Carolinians are flouting the law.

Tony Evers\' mandate requiring them to be worn indoors. (Rick Wood/Milw. Journal Sentinel)l By D.L. Davis April 23, 2021 # Wisconsin schools leader on the mark with claim that masks are factor in mitigating COVID spread #### If Your Time is short * We could not locate a study that ranked the various methods for mitigating spread of the coronavirus. * But experts agree that mask wearing is a primary way to do so, albeit in conjunction with other steps, such as hand-washing, social-distancing and -- now that vaccines are available -- getting a shot See the sources for this fact-check More than a year into the coronavirus pandemic, debate remains around a central means of combating the spread of COVID-19: To wear or not to wear a mask. At least the debate still exists among the general public and some politicians. Science and public health experts have pretty much all come down on one side: Mask up. That’s where newly-elected Superintendent of Public Instruction Jill Underly fell when asked for her opinion on school mask requirements during an interview April 11, 2021 on WISN’s \"UpFront.\" \"As far as mitigating spread, they say that masks is the number one way to do so,\" Underly said. \"And I feel that is, that\'s what we need to do to keep our buildings open. I think we should be wearing masks. But again, that\'s my recommendation, I believe in the science. But I do feel that each school district is going to have to make that decision for themselves.\" Underly made the comment at a point when thousands of students in Milwaukee Public Schools and the Madison Metropolitan School District were returning to the classroom, at least on a hybrid basis, for the first time since the pandemic began. Most other other districts in the state had been operating in person for months, some from the start of the school year last fall. Still, there has been pushback against the decisions, including by the Milwaukee Teachers’ Education Association, the teacher’s union, which has questioned the safety of returning to in-person learning. Let’s focus on Underly’s claim about mask’s being the best way to mitigate COVID-19 spread. How does wearing masks rate? In February, we rated True a claim by Assembly Minority Leader Gordon Hintz, D-Oshkosh, that \"we know mask mandates work. There’s enough evidence out there between counties that have done it and counties that haven’t.\" Nothing has changed since then in terms of the science behind the effectiveness of masks. But what about Underly’s claim that masks rank at the top of the mitigation list? When asked for backup for the claim, Erin Forrest of Underly’s transition team emailed a list of articles and studies related to the science behind masks, including a University of California San Francisco June 26, 2020 paper \"Still Confused About Masks? Here’s the Science Behind How Face Masks Prevent Coronavirus\" and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration \"Face Masks, Including Surgical Masks, and Respirators for COVID-19.\" \"It’s also important to note that right now there is no vaccine approved for people under 16 years of age,\" Forrest said in an email to PolitiFact Wisconsin. But she did not cite any study that ranked the various methods for mitigating spread of the coronavirus. We could not find any either in our search. That said, experts agree that mask wearing is a primary way to do so, albeit in conjunction with other steps, such as hand-washing, social-distancing and -- now that vaccines are available -- getting a shot. Ajay Sethi, an epidemiologist and professor at the University of Wisconsin- Madison, told us wearing a properly fitted mask is \"imperative.\" \"Both masks and physical distancing are needed to interrupt transmission of the coronavirus in indoor environments,\" Sethi said in an email to PolitiFact Wisconsin. \"When food or drink is being served for consumption, then maintaining proper physical distance is imperative. When maintaining physical distance is challenging, then wearing a high quality, properly fit mask is imperative. Ideally, both wearing masks and maintaining physical distancing are being done together.\" #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" ![](\\" Jeffrey Barke stated on August 23, 2024 in an Instagram post Food and Drug Administration approval for updated COVID-19 vaccines requires a public health emergency declaration. ![\\"true\\"](\\" false/33efdb6633e5e2fdc2d4e2f63383a1e0.jpg.\\") ![\\"false\\"](\\" false.jpg\\") By Jeff Cercone • August 27, 2024 City of Milwaukee Health Commissioner Kirsten Johnson told us: \"Masking is at the top of the list for the Milwaukee Health Department. Combined with vaccination, that is the best way to stop COVID.\" That point is echoed in numerous other places. Harvard Medical School puts mask wearing at the top of its list of steps individuals can take. Yale Medicine includes it on its list, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued guidance April 6, 2021on improving the fit and filtration of masks that included this note: \"Correct and consistent mask use is a critical step everyone can take to reduce their risk of getting and spreading COVID-19.\" Finally, the World Health Organization, in a Q&A posted on its website, notes that \"masks are a key measure to suppress transmission and save lives.\" The website goes on to say: \"Masks should be used as part of a comprehensive ‘Do it all!’ approach including physical distancing, avoiding crowded, closed and close-contact settings, good ventilation, cleaning hands, covering sneezes and coughs, and more.\" Our ruling Underly said for mitigating COVID-19 spread, \"masks (are) the number one way to do so.\" Experts at the local, national (CDC) and international (WHO) level, all say that masks are vital to lowering the risk of spreading COVID-19. That said, they also note simply wearing a mask is not enough and that other mitigation strategies, such as vaccination, social distancing and hand washing are also important. And, for the most part, students cannot be vaccinated. The vaccines are only available to those 16 and older. We rate Underly’s claim Mostly True. PolitiFact: No, WHO didn’t just say you don’t need to wear a mask PolitiFact: Mask skeptics ask questions.

This article is a fact > check of the claims._ [orc] The BJP government published an infographic on the 48-months portal that makes claims about fish production in the country. This article is a fact check of the claims.![\\"Fish](\\" production-in-India_infographic.jpg\\")What is the Blue Revolution? As per a response in the Lok Sabha, ‘Government of India has identified Fisheries as a key sector considering its immense potential for growth, to achieve economic prosperity and nutritional security by effective utilization of water resources in a sustainable manner. Accordingly, the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries has restructured the Central Plan Schemes by merging all fisheries schemes under an umbrella of Blue Revolution. The restructured Scheme on Blue Revolution: Integrated Development and Management of Fisheries approved in December, 2015 by the Government provides for a focused development and management of the fisheries sector to increase both fish production and fish productivity from aquaculture and fisheries resources. This includes both the inland and marine fisheries sector, including deep sea fishing with special focus on modern and innovative techniques. The objectives of the scheme are to 1. Increase the overall fish production in a responsible and sustainable manner for economic prosperity 2. Modernize the fisheries with special focus on new technologies 3. Ensure food and nutritional security 4. Generate employment and export earnings and 5. Ensure inclusive development and empower fishers and aquaculture farmers The Blue Revolution scheme also provides for Training, skill development and capacity building programmes for fishers, fish farmers and other The scheme also provides financial assistance for renovation of existing ponds, rejuvenation of urban/semi-urban/rural lakes/tanks for fish culture and establishment of fish hatcheries to ensure supply of quality seeds to fishers and fish farmers at an affordable rate towards enhancement of fish production.’ What is the outlay for Fisheries? The first claim is that government has provided for ‘integrated development and management of fisheries with an outlay of Rs. 3000 crores.’ According to the expenditure budget of 2018-19, the revised budget estimates for integrated development and management of fisheries for the year 2017-18 is Rs. 301.73 crores while for the year of 2018-19, it is Rs. 632.61 crores. The actual expenditure on ‘Blue Revolution’ in 2016-17 is Rs. 387.81 crores. There was no allocation for ‘integrated development and management of fisheries’ as a separate head before 2017-18. In fact, this particular head is not seen in the previous year budget documents. The following chart shows the actual expenditure of the fisheries department (allocations have been made under the name of blue revolution since 2012-13). The total expenditure during UPA-2 was Rs. 1631 crores and the expenditure during the current government (including 2018-19 budget estimates) is Rs. 1920 crores. These numbers do not add up to the figure of Rs. 3000 crores as mentioned in the infographic.![\\"Fish](\\" content/uploads//2019/02/Fish-production-in-India_Expenditure-on-Fisheries-up- to-2018-19.jpg\\") > Claim: Government has provided for integrated development and management of > fisheries with an outlay of Rs. 3000 crores. > > Fact: The total expenditure during UPA-2 was Rs. 1631 crores and the > expenditure during the current government (including 2018-19 budget > estimates) is Rs. 1920 crores. These numbers do not add up to the figure of > Rs. 3000 crores as mentioned in the infographic. Hence, the claim is FALSE. Has Fish Production increased? The second claim is that ‘Fish production increased from 186.12 tonnes during 2012-14 to 209.59 tonnes during 2014-16’. The numbers are odd since the production in the entire country will be a few lakh tonnes. Hence the assumption is that the numbers in the infographic mean lakh tonnes. According to one response in Lok Sabha, the fish production during the year 2012-13 was 9040.34 thousand tonnes or 90.4 lakh tonnes. In the following year of 2013-14, production increased to 95.78 lakh tonnes. The total production for the two years (2012-14) adds up to 186.18 lakh tonnes. As per another answer in Lok Sabha, the fish production for the year 2014-15 was 102.6 lakh tonnes and for the year 2015-16 was 107.62 tonnes. Hence the total production for the years of 2014-16 was 210.2 lakh tonnes. Based on the annual report 2017-18 of the Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries, responses to Lok Sabha question 451, question 3796 and response to Rajya Sabha question 1763, the following chart is made. The chart shows production of fish in the country since 2004-05 in lakh tonnes. As per official data, the increase in fish production during UPA-1 was 19%, was 25.7% during UPA-2 and 31.7% in the first four years of the current government. The data clearly suggests that the fish production increased substantially during the current government.![\\"\\"](\\" content/uploads//2019/02/Fish-production-in-India_Fish-production-in-Lakh- tonnes-2017-18.jpg\\") > Claim: Fish production increased from 186.18 lakh tonnes during 2012-14 to > 210.2 lakh tonnes during 2014-16. > > Fact: The total fish production increased from 186.18 lakh tonnes during > 2012-14 to 210.2 lakh tonnes during 2014-16. Hence the claim is TRUE. > Further, as per official data, the increase in fish production during UPA-1 > was 19%, was 25.7% during UPA-2 and 31.7% in the first four years of the > current government.

But do we really need to drink that much water on a daily basis? Advertisement: One such claim was collected via email in 2011**:** > 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. > > In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often > mistaken for hunger. > > Even mild dehydration will slow down one\'s metabolism as much as 30%. > > One glass of water shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the > dieters studied in a U-Washington study. > > Lack of water is the number one trigger of daytime fatigue. > > Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could > significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers. > > A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble > with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a > printed page. > > Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, > plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less > likely to develop bladder cancer. > > Are you drinking a healthy amount of water each day? Some versions of this item are titled \"Water vs. Coke\" and tack claims about the supposedly deleterious effects of Coca-Cola (which we have covered in a separate article) onto the end of this piece. Advertisement: In general, to remain healthy we need to take in enough water to replace the amount we lose daily through excretion, perspiration, and other bodily functions, but that amount can vary widely from person to person, based upon a variety of factors such as age, physical condition, activity level, and climate. The \"8 glasses of water per day\" is a rule of thumb, not an absolute minimum, and not all of our water intake need come in the form of drinking water. The origins of the 8-10 glasses per day figure remain elusive. As a Los Angeles Times article on the subject reported: > Consider that first commandment of good health: Drink at least eight 8-ounce > glasses of water a day. This unquestioned rule is itself a question mark. > Most nutritionists have no idea where it comes from. \"I can\'t even tell > you that,\" says Barbara Rolls, a nutrition researcher at Pennsylvania State > University, \"and I\'ve written a book on water.\" Some say the number was derived from fluid intake measurements taken decades ago among hospital patients on IVs; others say it\'s less a measure of what people need than a convenient reference point, especially for those who are prone to dehydration, such as many elderly people. Back in 1945 the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council stated that adults should take in about 2.5 liters of water per day (which is roughly the equivalent of eight glasses of water), but it also noted most of that intake level was already satisfied through the consumption of food without the need for the additional drinking of water. And as other nutritionists of the time noted, any shortfall in water intake could be made up through the consumption of beverages such as coffee, tea, milk, or soft drinks; one need not specifically drink water only in the form of water. Advertisement: As Drs. Aaron E. Carroll and Rachel C. Vreeman reported in an article on this topic: > There\'s nothing wrong with liking water, but there is no scientific proof > stating that you need to drink anywhere near eight glasses a day. One doctor > who has made this his research focus, Dr. Heinz Valtin, searched through > many electronic databases and also consulted with nutritionists and > colleagues who specialize in water balance in the body. In all of his > research, and in all of the research we conducted to double-check his work, > no scientific evidence could be found to suggest that you need to drink > eight glasses of water a day. In fact, scientific studies suggest that you > already get enough liquid from what you\'re drinking and eating on a daily > basis. We are not all walking around in a state of dehydration. Other medical experts have also disdained the notion that one need drink at least eight glasses of water per day to remain adequately hydrated: > Kidney specialists do agree on one thing, however: that the 8-by-8 rule is a > gross overestimate of any required minimum. To replace daily losses of > water, an average-sized adult with healthy kidneys sitting in a temperate > climate needs no more than one liter of fluid, according to Jurgen > Schnermann, a kidney physiologist at the National Institutes of Health. Advertisement: One liter is the equivalent of about four 8-ounce glasses. According to most estimates, that\'s roughly the amount of water most Americans get in solid food. In short, though doctors don\'t recommend it, many of us could cover our bare-minimum daily water needs without drinking anything during the day. Certainly there are beneficial health effects attendant with being adequately hydrated, and some studies have seemingly demonstrated correlations between such variables as increased water intake and a decreased risk of colon cancer. But are 75% of Americans really \"chronically dehydrated,\" as claimed in the anonymous e-mail quoted in our example? Many of the notions (and dubious \"facts\") presented in that e-mail seem to have been taken from the book Your Body\'s Many Cries for Water, by Fereydoon Batmanghelidj. Dr. Batmanghelidj, an Iranian-born physician who now lives in the U.S., maintains that people \"need to learn they\'re not sick, only thirsty,\" and that simply drinking more water \"cures many diseases like arthritis, angina, migraines, hypertension and asthma.\" However, he arrived at his conclusions through reading, not research, and he claims that his ideas represent a \"paradigm shift\" that required him to self-publish his book lest his findings \"be suppressed.\'\' Other doctors certainly take issue with his figures: > [S]ome nutritionists insist that half the country is walking around > dehydrated. We drink too much coffee, tea and sodas containing caffeine, > which prompts the body to lose water, they say; and when we are dehydrated, > we don\'t know enough to drink. Advertisement: Can it be so? Should healthy adults really be stalking the water cooler to protect themselves from creeping dehydration? Not at all, doctors say. \"The notion that there is widespread dehydration has no basis in medical fact,\" says Dr. Robert Alpern, dean of the medical school at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. Doctors from a wide range of specialties agree: By all evidence, we are a well-hydrated nation. Furthermore, they say, the current infatuation with water as an all-purpose health potion — tonic for the skin, key to weight loss — is a blend of fashion and fiction and very little science. Additionally, the idea that one must specifically drink water because the diuretic effects of caffeinated drinks such as coffee, tea, and soda actually produce a net loss of fluid is erroneous: > Regular coffee and tea drinkers become accustomed to caffeine and lose > little, if any, fluid. In a study published in the October issue of the > Journal of the American College of Nutrition, researchers at the Center for > Human Nutrition in Omaha measured how different combinations of water, > coffee and caffeinated sodas affected the hydration status of 18 healthy > adults who drink caffeinated beverages routinely. \"We found no significant differences at all,\" says nutritionist Ann Grandjean, the study\'s lead author. \"The purpose of the study was to find out if caffeine is dehydrating in healthy people who are drinking normal amounts of it. It is not.\" The same goes for tea, juice, milk and caffeinated sodas: One glass provides about the same amount of hydrating fluid as a glass of water. The only common drinks that produce a net loss of fluids are those containing alcohol — and usually it takes more than one of those to cause noticeable dehydration, doctors say. The best general advice is to rely upon your normal senses. If you feel thirsty, drink; if you don\'t feel thirsty, don\'t drink unless you want to. The human body already does a good job of regulating water balance on its own, and you therefore need not force yourself to drink when you are not thirsty for fear of being dehydrated. The exhortation that we all need to satisfy an arbitrarily rigid rule about how much water we must drink every day was aptly skewered in a letter by a Los Angeles Times reader: > Although not trained in medicine or nutrition, I intuitively knew that the > advice to drink eight glasses of water per day was nonsense. The advice > fully meets three important criteria for being an American health urban > legend: excess, public virtue, and the search for a cheap \"magic bullet.\" Advertisement: #### Sources Batmanghelidj, Fereydoon.

DATA ROUNDUP English, Fake News # Media reports of finding 3,350 tonnes of gold in Sonbhadra district (UP) are false 0 By Akhil Reddy on February 24, 2020 * A A A Twitter Facebook Reddit A post is being shared widely on social media with a claim that 3000 tonnes of gold discovered in Sonbhadra (UP). Even, several prominent media agencies have published articles with similar claims. A Central Minister has also tweeted (archived) the same. Let’s try to analyze the claim made in the post. ![\\"\\"](\\" English-FB-Post.jpg\\")The archived version of the post can be found here. > Claim: 3000 tonnes of gold discovered in Sonbhadra district (UP). > > Fact: The Geological Survey of India has clarified that the probable > conservative figure of gold which can be unearthed at Sonapahari in > Sonbhadra district (UP) is estimated to be around 160 kgs, not 3350 tonnes. > It has also said that the media reports, regarding 3,350 tonnes of gold in > Sonbhadra district, are not true. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE. After news agencies published about the discovery of more than 3000 tonnes of gold in UP, many social media users attributed the success of the discovery to various persons and events. While some attributed it to the start of the process of temple construction in Ayodhya, the others attributed it to the Chief Minister of UP (Yogi Adityanath) and Lord Ram. Some even claimed that the gold found will be donated to the Ram Mandir. ![\\"\\"](\\" English-Other-posts-1024x305.jpg\\") But, the Geological Survey of India (GSI) has clarified that the media reports of finding 3,350 tonnes of gold in Sonbhadra district of Uttar Pradesh are false. The GSI has tweeted that ‘the probable conservative figure of gold which can be unearthed is estimated to be **around 160 kgs and not 3350 tonnes** as mentioned in media reports’. > As per GSI study,the probable conservative figure of gold which can be > unearthed is estimated to be around 160 kgs and not 3350 tonnes as mentioned > in media reports.For more details, read the GSI press release below!#GSI > #UncoveringIndia #Sonbhadra #UttarPradesh #Gold pic.twitter.com/KvY5ffZsGh > > — Geological Survey of India (@GeologyIndia) February 22, 2020 In the GSI’s Press Release, it can be read that around 53000 tonnes of ore with 3.03 grams’ gold per tonne were found at Sonapahari area in Sonbhadra district (UP), in the explorations conducted during 1998-2000. As the conversion rate is 3.03 grams’ gold per tonne, 53000 tonnes of Ore would just give around 160 kgs of gold (53000 x 3.03 / 1000). In the ‘Briefing Book’ published by GSI, it can be seen that 160 kgs of gold at Sonapahari area in Sonbhadra district (UP) was found back in 2000, not recently. The gold ore was also found in other areas of the same district but the estimates are very low and the gold ore reserves found are of low-quality. The GSI has stopped exploration at some places as it was not profitable to extract gold from those ores. More details regarding the gold ores and quality can be read in the Factly’s explainer. ![\\"\\"](\\" Report.jpg\\") Basic research of the official documents (all of them available in the public domain) indicates that the numbers quoted by the UP officials were exaggerated. The media reporting gave rise to all kinds of misinformation around this issue. Though the clarification from GSI was also carried by all the media outlets, it was a little too late in the day. To sum it up, ‘media reports of finding 3,350 tonnes of gold in Sonbhadra district (UP) are false’, says GSI. _Did you watch our new video in the DECODE series?_ ![\\"Factly\\"](\\" WhatsApp-channel-minified-scaled.jpeg\\") Share.

(AP) ![\\"Tom](\\" By Tom Kertscher November 1, 2021 # No evidence that masks cause dangerous carbon dioxide buildup for children #### If Your Time is short * There is no evidence that masks cause a buildup of carbon dioxide that is dangerous to children. See the sources for this fact-check A Facebook post alluding to COVID-19 carried this admonishment: \"WARNING UNMASK YOUR KIDS! Any Carbon Dioxide concentrations above 2000ppm is dangerous!\" The post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.) There is no evidence that masks endanger children by trapping carbon dioxide. As evidence for its claim, the Facebook post shares a minute-long TikTok video that purports to show a handheld device measuring carbon dioxide levels inside a paper medical mask being worn by a young girl. At one point, the readings exceeded 7,100, according to a woman in the video, who adds: \"Remember, anything above 2,000 is unacceptable.\" It’s not clear in this claim what 2,000 parts per million refers to, but this is the latest in a series of claims made with demonstrations that don’t actually show what they claim to show. Here’s what we know based in part from our latest check, on a claim that a similar demonstration with an oxygen sensor shows that cloth masks are dangerous for children, which we rated False: The air we breathe is made up of about 78% nitrogen by volume, 21% oxygen and much smaller amounts of argon, carbon dioxide, hydrogen and other gases. Kirsten Koehler, an environmental health and engineering professor at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, said the kind of sensor seen in this video is not suited to do what the demonstrator suggests its measuring. \"As with the concentration of O2, the concentration of CO2 in the air in the mask will be changing dramatically, very rapidly with each breath,\" Koehler said. \"These types of sensors are not able to respond to these changes.\" #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" ![](\\" Jeffrey Barke stated on August 23, 2024 in an Instagram post Food and Drug Administration approval for updated COVID-19 vaccines requires a public health emergency declaration. ![\\"true\\"](\\" false/33efdb6633e5e2fdc2d4e2f63383a1e0.jpg.\\") ![\\"false\\"](\\" false.jpg\\") By Jeff Cercone • August 27, 2024 The result is that what the sensor measures is not accurate for either inhaled or exhaled air. \"If masks were really dangerous, you would expect to see changes in the oxygen saturation of blood,\" she said. \"However, as numerous videos online and several peer-reviewed publications show, oxygen saturation in blood does not change when wearing a mask, even when exercising.\" Biology professor Benjamin Neuman, chief virologist at Texas A&M University’s Global Health Research Complex, said such tests — holding a device just inside a child’s mask — do not tell the difference between exhaled air, which is high in carbon dioxide, from inhaled air, which is low in carbon dioxide, because the monitor is under the mask where the child is both inhaling and exhaling. Holding a meter up to exhaled air would give the result shown. But the mask is porous, and most of the air for each new breath comes in through the mask.\" A more accurate way to assess the effect of a mask on oxygen flow is to analyze a blood sample, Neuman said. Or, \"a reasonable do-it-yourself test would be to wear a pulse oximeter while wearing a mask or not wearing a mask for longer periods of time, perhaps half an hour each, and then compare oxygen saturation levels.\" The test would have to be repeated several times to get an accurate reading. \"Fortunately, this work has already been done quite carefully in several papers, which demonstrated no significant drop in oxygen content or rise in carbon dioxide content when wearing a mask,\" Neuman said. PolitiFact reporting has found that science shows mask-wearing is largely safe for children. Scientists have found little evidence that the kind of masks worn by students negatively affect oxygen or carbon dioxide levels, and they say that contamination levels on masks are no worse than on other common objects. The prolonged use of medical masks when properly worn, does not cause CO2 intoxication nor oxygen deficiency, according to the World Health Organization. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says: \"Wearing a mask does not raise the carbon dioxide (CO2) level in the air you breathe. Cloth masks and surgical masks do not provide an airtight fit across the face. The CO2 escapes into the air through the mask when you breathe out or talk. CO2 molecules are small enough to easily pass through mask material. In contrast, the respiratory droplets that carry the virus that causes COVID-19 are much larger than CO2, so they cannot pass as easily through a properly designed and properly worn mask.\" Babak Javid, a professor of medicine at the University of California-San Francisco, told PolitiFact that the issue \"has been convincingly debunked.\" Our ruling A Facebook post claimed: \"Unmask your kids! Any carbon dioxide concentrations above\" 2,000 parts per million are \"dangerous!\" There is no evidence that children’s health is endangered by a buildup of carbon dioxide caused by masks.

Contrary to Trump’s claims: * The whistleblower did not “disappear” after or because Trump released the memo. The whistleblower has chosen not to reveal his identity, but through his attorney, he has offered to provide written responses to lawmakers’ questions. * The second whistleblower did not “disappear” after release of the memo, either. The second whistleblower did not step forward until after the memo was released. * There’s no evidence House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was “angry as hell” that the memo did not match the whistleblower’s account. In fact, the memo corroborates the main points of the complaint. After the memo’s release, Pelosi said it “confirms that the President engaged in behavior that undermines the integrity of our elections.” * Rep. Adam Schiff’s dramatic, and embellished, reading of the July 25 conversation was not exposed by the release of the memo. Although Trump claimed he “caught” a “very embarrassed” Schiff in a lie when the White House “released the transcript,” the memo was actually made public a day before Schiff’s recounting of it. The whistleblower complaint was filed on Aug. 12. However, the first rough outlines of the complaint only began to trickle out publicly in mid-September, beginning with an anonymously sourced story in the Washington Post on Sept. 18. Several days later, the Wall Street Journal, again citing anonymous sources, reported that Trump “in a July phone call repeatedly pressured the president of Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden’s son,” and urged President Volodymyr Zelensky to “work with Rudy Giuliani on a probe that could hamper Mr. Trump’s potential 2020 opponent.” Here’s the order of events that happened next over three days in late September. On Sept. 24, Pelosi announced that the House would begin an impeachment inquiry. On Sept. 25, the White House released a memo of the call, which confirmed that Trump asked Zelensky to investigate the Bidens. The memo isn’t a verbatim transcript, but rather the notes taken by assigned staff. On Sept. 26, the House intelligence committee released a redacted copy of the whistleblower complaint. In his repeated retelling of events, however, Trump falsely claims that the White House release of the memo silenced the complaints, or contradicted them. > **Trump,to reporters, Nov. 4**: I think that the whistleblower gave a lot of > false information.

Trump packs a lot of misinformation into those statements. ##### Memo Backed Up Whistleblower Complaint For starters, it’s not true that the memo of the call showed the whistleblower complaint to be “false” and “totally wrong,” as Trump has repeatedly claimed. As we have written, the whistleblower’s account of the July phone call largely matches up with the White House-released memo. Specifically, the whistleblower made these three claims that were corroborated by the memo: Trump asked Zelensky to “initiate or continue an investigation” into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden; assist the U.S. in investigating allegations that “Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election originated in Ukraine”; and “meet or speak” about these matters with Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, and Attorney General William Barr. At a House intelligence committee hearing on Sept. 26, Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire testified that the whistleblower’s complaint “is in alignment with what was released yesterday by the president.” ##### Whistleblowers Didn’t ‘Disappear’ Contrary to Trump’s claims, the whistleblower did not “disappear” after the release of the memo. From the beginning, the whistleblower has resisted being unmasked, and federal law states that the identity of a whistleblower cannot be disclosed without their consent. In an Oct. 25 op-ed for the Washington Post, the whistleblower’s attorneys argued that “the identity of the whistleblower is irrelevant.” “Much of what has been disclosed since the release of our client’s complaint actually exceeds the whistleblower’s knowledge of what transpired at the time the complaint was submitted,” Andrew P. Bakaj and Mark S. Zaid wrote. That includes release of the summarized transcript of the call, text messages provided to the House of Representatives by the former U.S. special representative for Ukraine, and congressional testimony from numerous government officials involved in the activities highlighted by the whistleblower. “Because our client has no additional information about the president’s call, there is no justification for exposing their identity and all the risks that would follow.” But the whistleblower has not “disappeared.” The whistleblower’s attorneys nixed the idea of him testifying privately in person before Congress, or perhaps remotely with his identity protected. But the lawyers for the whistleblower have notified both the House and Senate intelligence committees that the whistleblower is willing to respond in writing to questions and under oath. As for the second whistleblower “disappearing” after the White House release of the phone call memo, that doesn’t jibe with the timeline. The second whistleblower, who works in the intelligence community, did not come forward until the first week of October, more than a week after the White House released its memo. Zaid, one of the attorneys representing the original whistleblower, told ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos on Oct. 6 that he was now representing a second whistleblower. Zaid said the second whistleblower had not filed a complaint but had spoken to the intelligence community’s inspector general and that the person had “first hand knowledge that supported the first whistleblower.” Zaid tweeted that his client “made a protected disclosure under the law and cannot be retaliated against.” According to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, “Whistleblowing can range from a simple conversation with a supervisor, to contacting an Inspector General (IG) Hotline, to providing information, through the proper channels, to Congress. In each instance of lawful whistleblowing, an individual is getting the right information to the right people.” Even more absurd is Trump’s claim that the “informer to the whistleblower if there was such a person, which I doubt” has also disappeared since release of the memo. The original whistleblower, described by the New York Times as a CIA officer who was detailed to the National Security Council, wrote in his complaint that while he did not participate in Trump’s phone call with the Ukrainian president, “in the course of official interagency business” he was informed about details of the phone call by “multiple White House officials with direct knowledge of the call.” As we wrote when Trump made similar claims, given that the original whistleblower did not participate directly in the Ukraine phone call, and yet got key details about it correct, it stands to reason he was provided that information by an informant. More important, numerous government officials have now testified before House committees about the phone call and other aspects of the whistleblower’s complaint, and have confirmed its key points. (See “The Whistleblower Complaint Timeline” for more information.) ##### Schiff ‘Parody’ Came After the Memo Release Trump also has altered the timeline regarding a rendition of the phone call that Schiff, the chairman of the House intelligence committee, gave prior to the Sept. 26 testimony of Acting Director of National Intelligence Maguire. Although Trump claims Schiff was “embarrassed” by the subsequent release of the phone call memo, the memo was released a day before Schiff’s remarks at the beginning of the House hearing. > Trump, at Values Voter Summit, Oct. 12: This crooked Adam Schiff made a > statement — long, beautiful statement — and it was a fraud. He repeated my > call, but it wasn’t me. He made it so bad. … But then I did something that > they didn’t expect. I immediately called up Ukraine, through my > representatives. … I got approval to immediately make that call public. … I > heard it [Schiff’s version], I said, “That’s not what I said.” He made up a > conversation. And it was vicious what he said. And then we caught him. … By > the way, [Schiff] only did it because he never thought that I was going to > release the transcript. … He did it and then I released the transcript. They > never thought in a million years, even in terms of violation with another > country, but we got the approval. So, he’s very embarrassed. > > Trump, at a rally in Lexington, Kentucky, Nov. 4: How about Schiff? He makes > up a conversation. He gets up before the United States Congress. He repeats > my conversation with the head of the Ukraine, the new president, a good guy, > repeats it. I said, “I never said that.” He made a horrible statement. It > was a total lie, and then, I actually went and released the actual > conversation, and you haven’t heard about the whistleblower after that. Have > you? As we said, Trump gets the order backward. At the Sept. 26 House intelligence committee hearing, Schiff presented a dramatic retelling of Trump’s phone call with Zelensky that Schiff said was partly “in parody.” As we have previously written, Schiff said he was recounting “the essence of what the president communicates” in his call with Zelensky “in not so many words.” Some of what Schiff said was similar to the White House’s memo of the phone call. But Schiff also embellished the conversation, claiming, for example, that Trump told Zelensky, “you better listen good. I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent.” Trump never said anything about making up dirt, according to the White House memo on the July 25 phone call. As we’ve written before, we’ll leave it for readers to judge whether it was immediately clear that Schiff was purposefully giving his own dramatic representation that didn’t completely square with the facts. However, Schiff wasn’t surprised and “embarrassed” by the release of the memo of the call, because, as Trump claimed, Schiff “never thought that I was going to release the transcript.” Indeed, the memo had been publicly released by the White House the day before, on Sept. 25. ##### No Evidence Pelosi ‘Angry’ Due to Memo Trump also falsely characterized Pelosi’s reaction to the White House-released memo. For example, at a rally in Lake Charles, Louisiana, on Oct. 11, Trump said: “Nancy Pelosi said, ‘Well, that’s what he said. Isn’t it?’ But she was angry as hell when she got to read the transcript. Because she said, ‘Wait a minute, that’s not what I was told.’ But she was stuck, she was stuck.” At another rally in Louisiana on Nov. 6, Trump said that when Pelosi read the White House memo of the call, she said, “We’ve got a problem.” Pelosi did announce that the House would begin an impeachment inquiry the day before the White House released the phone call memo, and two days before the public release of a redacted copy of the whistleblower’s complaint. But on the day the White House memo of the call was released, Pelosi did not express concerns that she had misrepresented Trump’s actions in calling for the impeachment inquiry. Rather, in a released statement, she said, “The release of the notes of the call by the White House confirms that the President engaged in behavior that undermines the integrity of our elections, the dignity of the office he holds and our national security.” “Either the President does not know the weight of his words or he does not care about ethics or his constitutional responsibilities,” Pelosi stated. “The transcript and the Justice Department’s acting in a rogue fashion in being complicit in the President’s lawlessness confirm the need for an impeachment inquiry. Clearly, the Congress must act.” * Categories * FactCheck Posts * Tags * 2020 Election * Location * National * Issue * impeachment inquiry * Ukraine * whistleblower * People * Adam Schiff * Donald Trump * Nancy Pelosi Previous StoryBlowing the Whistle on a Misinforming Meme Next StoryPosts Falsely Claim Trump ‘Stole’ From Vets Ask SciCheck Q: Are wind farms harmful to the environment?

Voting took place for five seats in the first phase on 19 April 2024, and for five seats in the second phase on 26 April 2024. Voting for the remaining four seats in Assam will be held in the third phase on 07 May 2024. In this context, a post claiming that 171 votes were cast at a polling booth in Assam’s Dima Hasao district during the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections, where only 90 voters were registered, is being widely shared across social media platforms (here, here, here, and here). The post further claimed that the Election Commission had suspended five officials in connection with the incident. Through this article, let’s fact-check the claim made in the post. ![\\"\\"](\\" were-polled-while-there-were-90-voters-claim.jpg\\")The archived versions of similar posts can be found here, here & here. > Claim: In the ongoing 2024 Lok Sabha Elections, 171 votes were cast at a > polling booth in Assam’s Dima Hasao district, where there were only 90 > voters. > > Fact: The incident took place during the 2021 Assembly polls in Assam, held > in April 2021, and is not related to the ongoing 2024 Lok Sabha polls. The > Chief Electoral Officer of Assam clarified regarding this viral claim > through a X (formerly Twitter) post, clarifying that the incident occurred > during the 2021 assembly elections and is not recent. Hence, the claim made > in the post is MISLEADING. To verify the accuracy of a viral claim, we conducted a relevant keyword search which led us to several news reports published in April 2021. According to a ‘Times of India’ news report dated 05 April 2021, 171 votes were cast in a booth in Assam’s Dima Hasao district, even though only 90 people were eligible to exercise their franchise. The booth was situated in the Haflong constituency, which went to the polls in the second phase of the Assam Assembly elections on 01 April 2021. Haflong witnessed a 74% polling turnout. After the incident came to light, the District Election Officer suspended five poll officials from the booth, set up at 107(A) Khotlir LP School, and proposed a repoll. An official stated, “The head of that village refused to accept the voters’ list and brought a list of his own. Then, the people of the village voted according to that list.” Additional news reports about this incident can be seen here and here. ![\\"\\"](\\" were-polled-while-there-were-90-voters-img1.png\\") According to the ‘India Today’ report dated 11 April 2021, the Election Commission of India has ordered re-polling at four polling stations in three assembly constituencies of Assam. The re-polling took place on 20 April 2021. One of these stations is 107A Khotlir LP School in the Haflong Assembly constituency. Despite having only 90 registered voters, the number of votes cast exceeded this figure. The District Election Officer of Dima Hasao stated that a group of voters from Mualdam Lower Primary School polling station mistakenly cast their votes at the Khotlir LP School polling station. This error was attributed to negligence on the part of polling officials, resulting in the suspension of five officials. ![\\"\\"](\\" were-polled-while-there-were-90-voters-img2.png\\") Furthermore, we came across a clarification post by the Chief Electoral Officer of Assam on X (formerly Twitter) regarding the viral post. The post reads: “A false narrative has been circulated in the social media regarding 171 additional votes being polled in one of the polling station in Dima Hasao, district of Assam”. Additionally, the thread post reads: “The incident mentioned in the said post refers to one that had taken place in the assembly election of 2021. Re-poll was conducted in that particular polling station and disciplinary proceedings against the concerned officers was taken”. > A false narrative has been circulated in the social media regarding 171 > additional votes being polled in one of the polling station in Dima Hasao, > district of Assam. pic.twitter.com/7dxiKtKST1 > > — Chief Electoral Officer, Assam (@ceo_assam) May 3, 2024 Meanwhile, we noticed that Dima Hasao, which is part of the Autonomous District Lok Sabha constituency, went to polls in the first phase of the Lok Sabha elections on 26 April 2024. However, we did not come across any reports of election malpractice reported from the district. To sum it up, the voting irregularity incident that took place during Assam’s 2021 assembly elections has been falsely linked to the ongoing 2024 Lok Sabha polls. ![\\"Factly\\"](\\" WhatsApp-channel-minified-scaled.jpeg\\") Share.

مقالههای مرتبط * آیا CDC میگوید ۳۱۵۰ نفر پس از دریافت واکسن کووید فلج شدهاند؟ در آن فکتچک نشان دادیم که چگونه «گزارش ۳۱۵۰ نفر مبنی بر اینکه پس از دریافت واکسن در شرایط سلامت خود تغییراتی حس کردهاند» با عنوان «فلجشدن بر اثر واکسن کرونا» منتشر شده است. واقعیت این است که نهادهای سلامت برای بررسیهای بیشتر، از افراد میخواهند اگر پس از دریافت واکسن، تغییری در وضعیت سلامت خود احساس کردند، آن را در یک سامانه گزارش دهند. به عنوان مثال سامانه VAERS در ایالات متحده، این گزارشها را از شهروندان خود جمعآوری میکند. ### سابقه استفاده نادرست از گزارشهای ایمنی واکسن استفاده نادرست از «گزارشهای عوارض جانبی» به عنوان «علائم خطرناک واکسن»، مسالهای است که پیش از این هم سابقه داشته است. مثلا در تاریخ ۲۶ اسفند ۱۴۰۰ بخش فکتچکینگ سایت رویترز ادعای مشابهی را بررسی کرده که درباره یکی دیگر از گزارشهای فایزر است. ![\\"\\"](\\" در آن زمان هم برخی از کاربران شبکههای اجتماعی، گزارشهای عوارض جانبی یا adverse event reports را به عنوان «علائم واکسن» معرفی کردهاند در حالی که در گزارش تاکید شده که نشانهای وجود ندارد که این عوارض، بر اثر دریافت واکسن بوده باشد. بیماریهای زمینهای، استفاده از داروهای دیگر و یا حتی حوادث به عنوان دلیل این اتفاقات معرفی شدهاند. ### آیا با «افشای اسناد محرمانه» طرفیم؟ گزارش فایزر در تاریخ ۲۷ مرداد ۱۴۰۱ تهیه شده و چند ماه بعد و یک سایت اتریشی به نام TKP این سند را در تاریخ ۱۳ اسفند ۱۴۰۱ منتشر کرده است. ![\\"\\"](\\" این گزارش محرمانه است اما در ابتدای آن قید شده که بر اساس قوانین کشورها، میتواند در اختیار عموم مردم قرار گیرد. سایت TKP نیز میگوید بر اساس قوانین دسترسی آزاد به اطلاعات توانسته به آن دست پیدا کند. بنابراین این تصور که یک سند مخفی از فایزر به دست آمده، تصور دقیقی نیست. آنچه روی داده این است که یک گزارش رسمی که فایزر آن را برای نهادهای مختلف بهداشتی در دنیا فرستاده، پس از مدتی به درخواست شهروندان، از حالت محرمانه خارج شده است. ### آیا واکسنهای فایزر خطرناک است؟ امنیت واکسنهای کووید ۱۹ فایزر هم در مراحل کارآزمایی بالینی و هم پس از استفاده گسترده، در کشورهای مختلف و همچنین از سوی پژوهشگران و نهادهای معتبر دانشگاهی تایید شده است. متخصصان موسسه جانز هاپکینز در پاسخ به این سوال که آیا این واکسنها امن هستند مینویسند: «بله. دو واکسن mRNA فایزر و مدرنا بسیار امن هستند و در پیشگیری از موارد جدی یا مرگبار کووید ۱۹ بسیار خوبند.» ### درباره عوارض جانبی واکسن فایزر چه میدانیم؟ بر اساس بررسیها در اتحادیه اروپا، این واکسن برای استفاده عمومی خطر ندارد. البته ممکن است افراد در ناحیه تزریق درد احساس کنند یا برای یک یا چند روز احساس خستگی و بیحالی کنند و در مواردی برای مدتی کوتاه تب کنند. این عوارض در بسیاری از واکسنهای دیگر که در بدن پادتن تولید میکنند، دیده میشود. ## جمعبندی صداوسیما در بخش خبری ۲۰:۳۰ با استناد به گفتههای یک سایت خبری در ایالات متحده میگوید سندی کشف شده که نشان میدهد واکسن فایزر یک میلیون و ۶۰۰ هزار مورد عوارض جانبی از جمله مرگ قلبی داشته است. گزارشی که صداوسیما به آن اشاره میکند مربوط به یک سایت سیاسی محافظهکار است. در این سایت به یک گزارش دورهای ایمنی اشاره شده که خود شرکت فایزر آن را برای ارائه به آژانس دارویی اروپا ارسال کرده است. این گزارش نشان میدهد در یک بازه زمانی که بیش از یک میلیارد دوز واکسن کرونا در سراسر جهان تزریق شده، این واکسن هم موثر و هم ایمن بوده است. آنچه به عنوان «عوارض واکسن فایزر» در صداوسیما گفته شده، «گزارشهای عوارض جانبی» است که افراد در روزهای بعد از دریافت واکسن تجربه کردهاند و در گزارش گفته نشده که این عوارض به دلیل واکسنهای فایزر بوده است. گزارشهای دیگر هم نشان میدهد واکسن کووید۱۹ فایزر امن و موثر است. فکتنامه به ادعای صداوسیما درباره کشف سندی محرمانه مربوط به یک میلیون و ۶۰۰ هزار مورد عوارض واکسن کووید ۱۹ فایزر نشان نادرست میدهد. ![\\"\\"](\\" web.width-300.format-png.png\\") نادرست گفته یا آمار، نادرست است یا دستکم سندی معتبر آن را رد میکند. درباره نشانهای میرزاروش کار ما پرش به فهرست ### گزارشهای مرتبط * ![\\"اطلاعات](\\" اطلاعات نادرست درباره توقف تولید آسترازنکا * ![\\"ادعای](\\" ادعای نادرست درباره خطرناکبودن واکسن آسترازنکا * ![\\"ادعای](\\" ادعای نادرست صداوسیما درباره عوارض واکسنهای فایزر ![\\"\\"](\\"/_next/image?url=%2F_next%2Fstatic%2Fmedia%2FsendFact.ac3cafbc.png&w=3840&q=75\\")فکتنامه اولین سایت درستیسنجی (فکتچکینگ) سیاسی درباره ایران است.پیشنهاد سوژه ##

By Lori Robertson, D\'Angelo Gore, Robert Farley and Eugene Kiely Posted on February 14, 2019 * 6.2K * * * * ##### Summary President Donald Trump made several claims in his Feb. 11 political rally in El Paso that distorted the facts, including: * He said “the trade deficit really went down very big this last month,” leaving out the fact that the previous month was a 10-year high. The 12-month deficit is up 20 percent under his presidency. * Trump wrongly claimed he convinced South Korea to increase its shared cost of the U.S. military presence in South Korea from $500 million to $900 million a year. South Korea was already paying well over $800 million a year under a five-year agreement that expired in December, and it reached a tentative agreement to increase its contribution by 8.2 percent. * Pushing back on fact-checkers and others who cited FBI data to debunk his claim that a fence transformed El Paso into one of the safest cities, Trump said crime data was recorded differently and that there was an attempt to “pull the wool over everybody’s eyes.” But there is no evidence of doctored data. * The president noted there were 1,200 murders last year in the Mexican city of Juarez, compared with 23 just across the border in El Paso. But despite drug-related murder rates across the border, the number of murders in El Paso has long been relatively low. * Trump also repeated several claims we’ve debunked before on job growth, Veterans Affairs legislation, the “right to try” law and a Virginia abortion bill. ##### Analysis The president held a campaign rally in El Paso to again make his case for a border wall, as members of Congress debated a border security and spending bill to avoid another government shutdown. Both chambers are expected to vote on a measure today. Trump again repeated false claims about crime in El Paso before and after a border fence was built, adding some new twists to his talking points. But he also made misleading and false statements about the trade deficit and an agreement with South Korea on its contribution to the U.S. military presence there. ##### Trade Deficit Spin The president left the false impression that the trade deficit had declined thanks to his efforts. In fact, the trade deficit has gone up under Trump. > Trump, Feb. 11: And did you see the, you know, I haven’t been here very > long, the trade deficit really went down very big this last month, and > people are saying, “Whoa.” I told you so. That’s what I do. That’s what I > do. That’s some serious spin. The trade deficit did go down in November, the most recent data available, but that came after the monthly deficit reached the highest point in 10 full years in October. Trump said he hasn’t “been here very long” and yet the deficit dropped “last month.” His audience cheered as he told them, “That’s what I do.” But the trade deficit has gone up in his two years in office. It’s up 20.3 percent for the 12 months ending in November, compared with 2016, the year before he took office. Even if the president wanted to focus solely on the November monthly figure, that too is up from November 2017, and 2016. These figures come from the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis. Its most recent report, released Feb. 6, said the November monthly goods and services trade deficit had dropped by $6.4 billion compared with October. However, it noted, “Year-to-date, the goods and services deficit increased $51.9 billion, or 10.4 percent, from the same period in 2017.” And 2017’s annual trade deficit ($552.3 billion) was up 10 percent from 2016 ($502 billion). So far, the trade deficit for the first 11 months of 2018 is just below the full 2017 figure — by a mere $13 million. Historical numbers from BEA show that the 2017 trade deficit was the highest since 2008, just edging out 2011, and 2018’s figure will easily top that. ![\\"\\"](\\" deficit.jpg\\") ##### South Korea’s Defense Sharing Costs Trump suggested that, prior to 2019, South Korea was paying “$500 million a year” under a cost-sharing deal that helps fund American military forces in that country. That’s wrong. > Trump, Feb. 11: I can only tell you this, we’re going to make great deals on > trade. We’re going to make great deals on military. When we defend another > nation that’s rich they have to help us out. Do we agree? They have to help > us out. And they’re doing it. They’re doing it. You saw South Korea, they > were paying us $500 million a year. I say you got to do more. You got to > give more. Anyway. Now they’re up to almost $900 million. On Feb. 10, South Korea’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that it had agreed (pending approval by its legislature) to contribute 1.039 trillion Korean won (or about $924 million in U.S. dollars) in 2019 as part of a new one-year “Special Measures Agreement” that helps to offset the cost of maintaining a U.S. military presence in South Korea. But the press release noted that was only an 8.2 percent increase from what South Korea paid in 2018 (which would have been 960 billion won) under a previous five-year deal approved in 2014 that expired at the end of last year. That earlier deal, which went into force in June 2014, called for South Korea to contribute 920 billion won in 2014 and then increase its annual payments at the rate of inflation. That worked out to “approximately $830 million per year,” according to Trump’s own State Department. Even the five-year deal before that one — agreed to in 2009 — had South Korea committing to contribute much more than $500 million a year. As the State Department said on Jan. 15, 2009: “In the agreement signed in Seoul today, the [Republic of Korea] will provide 760 billion won (approximately U.S. $691.5 million based on the 2008 average exchange rate) in 2009 and will increase the funding level in the subsequent years by the rise in the Consumer Price Index, with a maximum four-percent annual cap.” The Trump administration reportedly requested that South Korea increase its contribution for 2019 to as much as $1.6 billion, but South Korea would not agree to do so. In its “Strategic Digest” report for 2018, U.S. Forces Korea said that “South Korea reinforces the Alliance by funding approximately 41 percent of the day- to-day non-personnel stationing costs for USFK.” If its 2018 contribution of over $800 million was less than half of those costs, that suggests the Trump administration was seeking to have South Korea pay close to all of the non- personnel costs of hosting the U.S. military. ##### Spinning El Paso Crime In his visit to El Paso, the president doubled down on his false State of the Union claim that a border fence transformed the Texas city from one of the most dangerous cities in the country to one of the safest. * Fact-checkers and other media cited FBI crime statistics to refute his claim about El Paso’s violent crime rate, but Trump made the baseless suggestion that crime statistics had been doctored. * To back up his claim that “walls work,” Trump noted that there were 1,200 murders last year in the Mexican city of Juarez, compared with 23 just across the border in El Paso. But the number of murders in El Paso has long been relatively low compared with other big cities, and has historically been far lower than in Juarez, even before the fence. We first wrote about the president’s bogus crime claims about El Paso when, during a speech in Louisiana on Jan. 14, he claimed El Paso went from “one of the most dangerous cities in the country to one of the safest cities in the country overnight” after “a wall was put up” along the Mexico border. As we wrote then, El Paso has never been “one of the most dangerous cities in the country.” The city had the third lowest violent crime rate among 35 U.S. cities with a population over 500,000 in 2005, 2006 and 2007 – before construction of 57 miles of fencing started in the El Paso sector in mid-2008. Nor was there an “overnight” drop in violent crime in El Paso after “a wall was put up.” In fact, the city’s violent crime rate increased 5.5 percent from 2007 to 2010 — the years before and after construction of the fence, which was completed in mid-2009. Those years were not anomalies. The violent crime rate increased about 9.6 percent between 2006 and 2011 — two years before the fence construction began and two years after it was finished. Along with the rest of the country, El Paso’s violent crime rate spiked in the early 1990s and has been trending downward ever since. The city’s violent crime rate dropped 62 percent from its peak in 1993 to 2007, a year before construction on the fence began. We pointed out the same facts when the president repeated the false talking point in his State of the Union address. ##### Baseless Allegation of Data Manipulation At his rally in El Paso, Trump again took aim at media outlets, and the Republican mayor of El Paso, for noting that FBI crime statistics directly contradicted the president’s earlier claims. This time, however, the president argued the FBI data had been manipulated, masking the crime-reducing effectiveness of the fence. “Take a look at what they did with their past crimes and how they made them from very serious to much lesser,” the president said. Later, he said people ought to “look at how they recorded those past crimes, it went way, way down,” adding that there was an attempt to “pull the wool over everybody’s eyes.” > Trump, Feb. 11: And I’ve been watching where they’ve been trying to say, > “Oh, the wall didn’t make that much –” Well you take a look at what they did > with their past crimes and how they made them from very serious to much > lesser, you take a look at what the real system is. … And I don’t care > whether a mayor is a Republican or a Democrat, they’re full of crap when > they say it hasn’t made a big difference. > > I heard the same thing from the fake news. They said, “Oh, crime actually > stayed the same.” It didn’t stay the same, it went way down. And look at > what they did to their past crimes and look at how they recorded those past > crimes, it went way, way down. These people, you know, you’d think they’d > want to get to the bottom of a problem and solve a problem, not try and pull > the wool over everybody’s eyes. So for those few people that are out there > on television saying, “Oh, it didn’t make too much of a difference,” it made > a tre– people from El Paso, am I right? Trump did not say who changed the way crime data was recorded, and he provided no evidence that it had changed. The El Paso police department also did not respond to our inquiries. But El Paso County Commissioner Carlos Leon, who served as the El Paso police chief for five years until 2003, called the president’s allegation “insulting.” “He made it seem like the numbers were doctored,” Leon said. “The numbers are black and white. That’s the way it was. … For the president to say the mayor and others are full of crap, that’s insulting. The numbers are what the numbers are. There is no such thing as doctoring those numbers.” And the numbers, he said, show that El Paso has long been a relatively safe city and that there was not a sharp decline in violent crime immediately after the fence went up. Over the years, there have been changes to the Uniform Crime Reporting system that the FBI uses to collect crime data. For example, hate crime was added in 1990 and human-trafficking in 2013, and the definition of rape changed in 2013, according to the FBI. But we found no evidence of any attempt by city, state or federal law enforcement officials to intentionally deceive the public by misreporting the city’s crime data, as Trump suggested. ##### Misleading Murder Stats Rather than repeating his claim that El Paso was once one of the most dangerous cities in the country — it has never been — the president changed his talking point, comparing the number of murders in Juarez, Mexico, just across the border, with El Paso as evidence that “walls work.” > Trump, Feb. 11: Just a few thousand feet, as an example, from where we stand > right now on the other side of the border, it’s one of the most dangerous > cities in the world, Juarez, Mexico. Well, the people at Juarez agree. Yet, > thanks to a powerful border wall and El Paso, Texas, it’s one of America’s > safest cities now. Now, listen to this, so you’re talking a few feet away, > right, a few feet, got a wall, it’s a few feet away. Last year Juarez had > 1,200 murders, El Paso, right next door, a few feet away, had 23 murders. > That’s not good either. But 23 compared to 1,200. Walls work, actually > there’s nothing like them for what we’re talking about. Trump was roughly correct when he noted that in 2018, Juarez recorded 1,200 murders (actually 1,247, according to El Diario), and El Paso police reported 23 murders. But that’s not evidence a border fence has kept homicides in Juarez from spilling into El Paso, as Trump suggests. The number of murders in Juarez has far outpaced those in the much smaller city of El Paso both before and after the fence. In 2007, there were 336 homicides in Juarez compared with 17 in the city of El Paso. Construction of the fence started in mid-2008. That year, a war between drug cartels in Juarez sent the number of homicides in the Mexican city soaring to 2,570. Yet across the border in the city of El Paso, there were 17 homicides, according to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program. In 2010, the year after the fence was completed, the number of homicides dropped to 5 in El Paso, before climbing back up to 16 in 2011 and 23 in 2012. Most recently, the city of El Paso recorded 17 homicides in 2016 and 19 in 2017. Those figures are in line with those before the fence went up. The city averaged 15.2 homicides a year in the five years between 2003 and 2007. Because of changing population, it’s better to look at the rate, rather than the raw number, to gauge crime. The murder rate in the city of El Paso was 2.5 in 2016 and 2.8 in 2017, about where it was before the fence. From 2003 to 2007, the murder rate averaged about 2.5 per 100,000 residents per year. “It has always been a different story right next door in Juarez,” Leon said. ##### Repeating Himself As usual, the president repeated some of his debunked claims. Here are a few of them: * Virginia Abortion Law: As he did in his State of the Union, Trump mischaracterized Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s remarks about a state bill that would loosen restrictions on late-term abortions. “The governor stated that he would even allow a newborn baby to come out into the world and wrap the baby and make the baby comfortable. And then talk to the mother and talk to the father and then execute the baby,” Trump said to a chorus of boos. That’s not what Northam said. In a radio interview, Northam, who is a physician, said third-trimester abortion is “done in cases where there may be severe deformities. There may be a fetus that’s nonviable. So in this particular example, if a mother’s in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered, the infant would be kept comfortable, the infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired. And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.” A spokeswoman for Northam later said he was “absolutely not” talking about infanticide. * Job Growth: The president also, once again, said, “Since the election, we have created 5.3 million new jobs, including more than a half a million new manufacturing jobs.” In fact, Bureau of Labor Statistics figures show the economy has added just under 4.9 million jobs since January 2017, when he took office — not 5.3 million. And the economy added 454,000 manufacturing jobs during Trump’s tenure — not more than 500,000. * VA Choice and VA Accountability: Trump continued to wrongly claim that it took “40 years” before he signed legislation creating “Veterans Choice,” and that before he signed a VA accountability bill, “we couldn’t fire anybody from the Veterans Administration” for treating “our veterans badly.” The Veterans Choice Program was created by the bipartisan Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act that President Barack Obama signed in August 2014. It allowed veterans with long wait times or travel burdens to get care from eligible health care providers outside the Veterans Affairs system. Since Trump took office, he has continued the program, signing legislation to provide funding for the program and to eliminate the expiration date. Also, it was possible for VA employees to be fired before Trump signed the Veterans Affairs Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act in June 2017. That law does make it easier for the VA secretary to remove employees by shortening the firing process and expediting the appeals process for senior executives, among other things. But the VA was already terminating about 2,300 employees (for performance and disciplinary reasons) each fiscal year on average before Trump’s presidency going back to 2005. * Right to Try: The president wrongly said there was “nothing” terminally ill patients could do in the United States to access unapproved drugs until he signed the “right to try” law in late May. “[I]f somebody was terminally ill they traveled to Asia, they traveled to Europe, they’d travel all over the world, if they had the money. If they didn’t have the money, they’d just go home, there was nothing they could do,” he said. But the FDA for years has approved applications from patients seeking access to investigational drugs through the agency’s “expanded access” program. FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb told Congress in 2017 that the FDA had approved 99 percent of the more than 1,000 annual applications it gets under that program. The right to try legislation aims to bypass the FDA and give terminally ill patients access to unapproved drugs more quickly. We wrote about this issue last fall, when the president made a similar claim. ##### Sources Bureau of Economic Analysis. “U.S. International Trade in Goods and Services, November 2018.” 6 Feb 2019.

This is the question that a Twitter user formulated for Pablo Iglesias and that the youtuber 'FortFast WTF' sent him to the leader of Unidas Podemos. The recording of the meeting between the two has been among the most viewed videos on the platform in Spain since its publication. «One thing that we carried out in the agreement with the PSOE, and that later was not translated into nothing when the Budgets were not approved, is to recover aid for the unemployed over 50 years old. That is fundamental," Iglesias responded to this issue. However, that proposal is already in force. Pablo Iglesias was referring to subsidy for unemployed people over 52 years of age ―and not 50 as he said―, approved by the acting Government in March 2019. It did so as a "urgent measure" in a royal decree law that the Council of Ministers issued forward in the so-called "social Fridays". The approved aid contemplates exactly the same assumptions as in October 2018 PSOE and Unidas Podemos had agreed for the 2019 PGE. Congress of the Deputies knocked them down by not having the necessary support, and just as explains Iglesias, at that time the measure could not be implemented. Which What the Podemos leader does not say is that, since March 2019, the Spaniards who Those who find themselves in this situation can benefit from this subsidy. The following image shows the changes that UP and PSOE agreed to modify the regulation of aid for people over 52 years of age for the Budgets. This document is not public, but several media outlets published it on October 11 of 2018. ![\\"Budgets](\\"\\") Sémper accuses the Government of failing to comply with the Constitution by not presenting the budgets on time, something that Rajoy also did ![\\"\\"](\\"\\")Fragment of the document ‘General Budget Agreement of 2019: Budgets for a Social State' of 50 pages published in October of 2018.

Both include the same points. ![\\"\\"](\\"\\")Fragment of Royal Decree-Law 8/2019, of March 8, urgent measures for social protection and the fight against job insecurity during the work day. Chapter II. The Sánchez Government once again set the age of access to the subsidy at 52 years ―the PP changed it to 55―; The calculation of income was established on the basis of the beneficiary person and not the family unit; the obligation to having to access early retirement when the aid is received and established 125% of the minimum interprofessional wage (SMI) the minimum base of Social Security contributions while you are a beneficiary of the subsidy. In addition to the recovery of aid for the elderly unemployed, the royal decree law "on urgent measures for social protection and the fight against "job insecurity during the working day" included other measures such as the mandatory registration of working hours or the increase in benefits against child poverty. ![\\"Ayuso](\\"\\") What do we know about the reception center for immigrant minors in Fuenlabrada that confronts the city council and the community Therefore, although the Congress of Deputies overturned the agreement that forward United We Can with the PSOE, as Iglesias recalls, the measure does It went ahead, since it was approved alone by the Government subsequently.

However, the Italian Higher Institute of Health has established that only 2.9% of deaths attributed to Covid-19 were caused solely by the disease. The 97% The remaining deaths are also associated with other pathologies, and which would therefore have been caused by “something other” than Covid-19, says a Facebook user in Belgium (archived here and here). ## Assessment This assertion is not correct. A report from the Italian National Institute of health concluded that 2.9% of patients whose deaths were attributed to Covid-19 did not present any comorbidity. But that doesn't mean that the remaining 97.1% died of their underlying health conditions, not of Covid-19. ## Facts The Facebook posting refers to a report (here in Italian and here in English) of the Italian National Institute of Health (ISS) published on October 19, 2021. The report concerns the characteristics of patients who died in Italy who were positive for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19 disease. On page 3, the report states that, in a sample of deceased patients while they were positive for SARS-CoV-2 in Italy, 2.9% did not present no comorbidity. The report continues: 11.4% of patients presented with single comorbidity, 18% had two and 67.7% had three or more. The comorbidities listed are varied, ranging from dementia to diabetes, including high blood pressure. According to the Facebook publication, the ISS thus concluded that only 2.9% of deaths attributed to Covid-19 would have been caused by the disease only and that, for all the others, the researchers would have found “1 to 5 pathologies associates who are responsible, totally or partially, for deaths in question ". Except that this sentence does not appear anywhere in the report. Faced with numerous misinterpretations of the text, particularly in the media Italians, the ISS clarified things in a press release. “The report does not specify that only 2.9% of deaths attributed to Covid-19 are caused by the virus. The percentage of 2.9% (…) refers to the percentage of patients who died while testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 and who had no other pathologies diagnosed before infection », writes the institute. Other reports show Covid-19 is the “direct cause” of 89% deaths occurring in people who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, he adds. Italian civil protection has quantified the number of deaths of Covid at 133,828 at the end of November. One of the authors of the report, Graziano Onder, also told the Italian daily La Repubblica that the data had been misinterpreted. He emphasizes that, even if a large majority of people who died actually suffered from pre-existing illnesses, most of them could have lived for many more years if they had not contracted Covid-19. Having pre-existing conditions is usually a risk factor in the event of Covid-19 infection. Comorbidities can therefore contribute to death of a patient with Covid-19, but are not the cause directly from these deaths. The two main comorbidities identified in the ISS report, namely high blood pressure and diabetes, are diseases common in the general population and which rarely lead to death of people affected by it, according to Graziano Onder. Since Covid-19 particularly affects the elderly, and they often suffer from chronic illnesses, it is not surprising to note that many people have died from Covid-19 in Italy had comorbidities, explains the ISS. Erroneous interpretations of the report have already been the subject of verification from the dpa in Dutch and German.

That's why, new Atacadão, new Assaí and new Tenda have job openings for those who share a link with friends on WhatsApp. Black Friday is over, but fake opportunity ads on WhatsApp (which, as this link shows, were motivated by the date) continue with full force around. Proof of this is the fact that the same falsehood has been circulating with “small variations”. A few days ago, Boatos.org denied a story that suggested that a “new Extra” would be opening “in the city” (yes, that’s how it was written) and that there would be job openings for anyone who entered a website and share a link with friends on WhatsApp. A few days later, the same message began to circulate around. The “small difference” was in the name of the markets mentioned. We found versions talking about a new Atacadão, a new Assaí and a new Tenda. In all cases (so as in the new Extra), it would be necessary to enter a website (in the version we saw it was a website at confirmehoje.com). Read the messages circulating around there: > ## Check out the denial on video: > > ## Atacadão: New ATACADÃO here in the city! Opening in DECEMBER!

Tasting Salary R$1,470.00 Young Apprentice Salary R$990.00 General Assistant Salary R$1,460.00 In every case, you come across a website with a message similar to this: “OPPORTUNITIES ATTACK!

FILL IN CORRECTLY: YOUR NAME YOUR CITY YOUR EMAIL”. After filling out, you are directed to a page that asks that the website link is shared with a certain number of friends. ## Novo Atacadão, new Assaí and new Tenda in the city have job openings in website on WhatsApp? As you have seen, the three messages are very similar. And here we are to tell you that the job advertisement at the new Atacadão, the new Assaí and the new Tenda are fake. For you to understand everything, let's get to the facts. In reality, there isn't much to say. Just the fact that the messages are the same for three different companies (with the right not to mention the name of the city and have the absurd order of asking for sharing for the registration of a CV) already makes us suspicious. Distrust that turns into certainty knowing that the ad follows the same modus operandi of false promotions on WhatsApp. It happens like this: an eye-catching message appears on the web. You are asked to enter a website, answer some generic questions and, in the end, Finally, share a link with a certain number of friends on WhatsApp. THE From then on, your phone freezes and nothing happens. See an alert in the video below: The thesis that this is a scam is confirmed when we do research on the website that hosts fake job vacancies. According to the Virus service In total, the page is classified as malicious by the CRDF and as “phishing” by Kaspersky. In other words: clicking is not recommended. In short: the story that points out that the new Atacadão, new Assaí and new Tenda in the city have job openings for anyone who enters a website and shares a link with friends on WhatsApp is fake. It's just another rumor about the topic circulating on the internet. Ps.: This article is a suggestion from Boatos.org readers.

Not really In the wake of the Parkland, Fla. shooting, Democratic candidate for governor Philip Levine released a TV ad promoting tighter gun restrictions and documenting an alarming number of school shootings in the state. Levine, the former mayor for Miami Beach released the 30-second ad after the Feb. 14 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting that killed 17 people. Levine will face several other Democratic challengers in the primary on Aug. 28. \"When we send our children off to school, we want to know they\'re safe,\" Levine says as he steps off a school bus. \"But here in Florida, despite 14 school shootings in eight years, we still have some of the weakest gun laws in the nation.\" Have there really been 14 school shootings in Florida since 2010, and does Florida have some of the weakest gun laws in the nation? ‘14 school shootings in eight years’ There isn’t one uniform way to track school shootings in the United States. Methodologies and definitions vary with each group collecting data, offering a range of numbers on the prevalence of school shootings in recent years. To back up Levine’s claim, spokesman Christian Ulvert sent PolitiFact Florida a list of 14 events that he described as school shootings. Ulvert said he compiled the list after vetting news articles about shootings. Wikipedia also lists 14 school shootings in Florida over the past eight years. Ulvert also sent along a tweet from WFTV investigative and political reporter Christopher Heath who reiterated the statistic. The list indeed includes 14 incidents in the last eight years (actually since 2012). But the descriptions and circumstances of many of the events are quite different than what occurred in Parkland. Date Location Details March 6, 2012 Episcopal School of Jacksonville Shane Schumerth, a Spanish teacher who had been fired, went to the Episcopal School of Jacksonville armed with an AK-47. Schumerth shot and killed the Head of the School, Dale Regan. Schumerth then killed himself in the office. Jan. 7, 2013 Apostolic Revival Center Christian School, Fort Myers, Florida Kristopher Smith, 27, was killed by gunshots fired at the school. Police believed it to be a retaliation killing, possibly for speaking with police about a previous event. A news report does not mention who killed Smith, including if that person was a student. March 18, 2013 University of Central Florida James Oliver Seevakumaran, 30-year-old student, pulled a fire alarm at the Tower One dormitory to attract a crowd. After threatening to shoot his roommate; he released the roommate, who ran out and called 9-1-1. Seevakumaran then fatally shot himself in the head. Oct. 4, 2013 Outside Agape Christian Academy A 16-year-old student was shot in the hip outside of the academy after a fight broke out. An innocent bystander was hit by a stray bullet or shrapnel. Two victims were treated for minor injuries. Dec. 4, 2013 Near a soccer field on the campus of West Orange High School A 17-year-old student shot and injured a 15-year-old student near a soccer field on campus. Jan. 30, 2014 Parking lot of Eastern Florida State College A student and two others were fighting in a parking lot when the student pulled out a gun and shot one of the men in the chest. March 12, 2014 Behind the Academy of Knowledge Preschool An elementary school teacher was shot and killed by her husband. Sept. 9, 2014 Parking lot of Stellar Leadership Academy in northwest Miami-Dade #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" Instagram_logo_2016.svg/322c808c00e73c217d17772ddd5a0eb5.jpg\\") ![](\\" Instagram_logo_2016.svg/8b142c91ebe468a84a192e6df2b7b994.jpg\\") Instagram posts stated on September 23, 2024 in an Instagram post The government is arming “illegal immigrants.” ![\\"true\\"](\\" false/33efdb6633e5e2fdc2d4e2f63383a1e0.jpg.\\") ![\\"false\\"](\\" false.jpg\\") By Sofia Ahmed • September 26, 2024 After a fight broke out, someone fired a gun. One person was injured. Nov. 20, 2014 Near the Strozier Library at Florida State University A gunman opened fire on FSU’s campus, leaving three students injured before he was killed by campus police. Nov. 20, 2014 Miami Carol City High School Two teenagers were shot during a fight. One boy died. Jan. 16, 2015 Parking lot of Vanguard High School in Ocala, Fla. A gunman opened fired in the parking lot, injuring one 14-year-old girl and a 19-year-old woman. (Woman was cut by glass) Feb. 23, 2015 Music building at Bethune-Cookman University Two students were arguing and one pulled out a gun. Three students were injured. May 12, 2015 Jacksonville (a school bus on 118th Street) A 16-year-old student was accused of firing five bullets at a school bus. Two students were injured. Feb. 14, 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting A 19-year-old former student began shooting students and staff members with a semi-automatic rifle, killing 17 people and leaving 14 more injured. So there are 14 documented incidents in which a gun was fired inside a school or on or near school property since 2012. Of those shootings shootings: * Seven involved no deaths; * Four occurred during a fight between specific people or students; * Three of the seven incidents that resulted in deaths did not involve students; * One was an incident between a wife and her husband. We presented the list from Levine’s office to Jaclyn Schildkraut, an assistant professor in the Department of Public Justice at the State University of New York at Oswego. Schildkraut said she only considered two of the incidents \"school shootings\" — the Feb. 14 shooting at Stoneman Douglas and the Nov. 20, 2014, shooting at Florida State University. She said the shooters at Stoneman Douglas and FSU had similar motivations, unlike the other incidents on the list that happened after or during an altercation. \"He goes into a place that he knows is populated and randomly starts shooting,\" she said. \"It’s not targeted violence like the fights and the case where a woman was shot by her husband.\" Florida has ‘some of the weakest gun laws in the nation’ To back this point up, Ulvert sent PolitiFact Florida a link to an NBC News article that cited a 2016 report from the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, a group that supports more restrictive gun regulation. Florida does have weak gun laws based on this analysis, but saying it has some of the weakest requires context. According to the report, Florida received an F for its gun laws, the lowest grade a state can receive. But so did 24 other states. Grades are assigned based on how many \"points\" a state earns. The more points, the better the grade. For example, states can earn points if they require a background check for every firearm sale and lose points for laws that allow people to carry concealed, loaded guns in public without a permit, among other things. In a news release, Giffords Law Center also notes that in 2016 Florida had \"the nation’s 26th highest gun death rate … and was ranked the 26th worst state for firearm laws.\" Giffords said Mississippi received the worst score in 2016. While Mississippi received an F last year, its ranking dropped from 49 to 50 because it enacted a law that allows people to carry hidden, loaded guns in public without a license. Following the shooting, Giffords Law wrote a news brief pointing out some of Florida’s permissive laws, which included the state’s pre-emption law that sought to prevent local governments from passing new gun restrictions on their own. The organization claims the law was \"designed to severely restrict local authority to regulate firearms.\" It also said that Florida’s \"stand your ground\" law was amended recently to make it \"even more dangerous.\" Our ruling Levine said that \"despite 14 school shootings in eight years (in Florida), we still have some of the weakest gun laws in the nation.\" Levine can count 14 instances in the past eight years where guns were discharged on school grounds. But describing those 14 instances as school shootings is misleading, an expert told us, particularly when compared with, and in the context of, the shooting in Parkland. A group that supports tighter gun restrictions, meanwhile, says that Florida does have weak gun laws. But two dozen states share that same description. We rate this claim Mostly False.

See the sources for this fact-check Power outages in Texas left many residents without heat and electricity during recent ice and snow storms. Some conservative politicians blamed the outages on frozen wind turbines when, in reality, energy officials said the primary cause appeared to be failures across the state’s natural gas operations. An image spreading on social media during the storms suggested that renewable energy deprived half a million homes of power by causing the shutdown of a coal-powered plant. \"Monticello power plant just outside of Pittsburg TX has been closed since 2018 because of renewable energy,\" the post says. \"She alone can produce enough reliable power for over 500,000 homes. How is that green energy working out for y’all?\" This post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.) The Monticello plant near Pittsburg, Texas — about two hours east of Dallas — once had an operating capacity of 1,880 megawatts, which is enough to power as many as about 940,000 homes depending on conditions. But it has been offline since January 2018. Luminant, the state’s largest electricity generator, announced in October 2017 that it was retiring the plant. In a statement, the president of Luminant’s parent company, Vistra, said \"the market’s unprecedented low power price environment has profoundly impacted its operating revenues and no longer supports continued investment.\" Before the plant could go offline, the state’s main grid operator, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, had to ensure that it wasn’t needed to supply reliable power to consumers. Monticello was one of the state’s largest coal-powered plants, and the Houston Chronicle described it at the time as one in \"a string of coal plant closures nationwide as a glut of cheap natural gas and continued advances in solar and wind energy technology continue to depress wholesale power prices.\" We reached out to Vistra about the post. Meranda Cohn, a spokesperson for the company, told PolitiFact that when it announced the retirement of Monticello and two other plants, Vistra said it was because the plants were \"economically challenged\" in a competitive market. #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" ![](\\" Facebook posts stated on September 23, 2024 in a Facebook post Photo shows missing couple Raymond Peterson and his wife, Sophie. ![\\"true\\"](\\" false/33efdb6633e5e2fdc2d4e2f63383a1e0.jpg.\\") ![\\"false\\"](\\" false.jpg\\") By Ciara O\'Rourke • September 26, 2024 \"Sustained low wholesale power prices, an oversupplied renewable generation market, and low natural gas prices, along with other factors, have contributed to the decision,\" she said. Back in 2017, another Vistra spokesperson told the Dallas Morning News that the decision was \"purely economic … this is a coal plant operating in a market that’s flooded with cheap natural gas.\" Kenneth Medlock, Center for Energy Studies senior director at the Baker Institute for Public Policy at Rice University, confirmed that renewables have put pressure on coal, but he said \"they are definitely not the sole driver of coal closures.\" \"Coal is largely being displaced by low-cost natural gas,\" Medlock said in an email. \"This is just a matter of data, where one can tangibly see the effect of very cheap natural gas on power generation across the U.S., not just in Texas.\" The price of power in the wholesale market in Texas is set by the price of natural gas, said Bruce Bullock, director of the Maguire Energy Institute at Southern Methodist University. Cheap natural gas plus the rapid growth of wind energy in Texas \"essentially made coal uneconomic.\" Our ruling The image that’s being shared on social media claims that the Monticello power plant closed because of renewable energy. Renewable energy contributed to the plant’s demise but so did other factors. Namely: cheap natural gas.

The purported announcement from the CS reads, in part: “Prof Magoha: This year we have 50,000 A plain,”. ![\\"\\"](\\" However, while officially announcing the 2020 KCSE results on May 10, 2021, Prof Magoha said only 893 students had scored A plain and not 50,000 as claimed in the tweet. A total of 747,161 students sat for their 2020 KCSE exams. This is an improvement from the 697,222 students who sat for their KCSE exams in 2019. “There were 893 candidates who scored A plain, which is 0.1 per cent, compared to 627 in 2019 which was 0.09 per cent. This is the clearest indicator that the candidates have performed at par if not better compared to 2019 despite the negative effects of COVID-19,” Prof Magoha said. He further said the number of students who have qualified to join the institutions of higher learning had risen to 143,140 from 125,747 in 2019. The number of special needs students who scored C+ and above, rose to 223 from 127 in 2019. PesaCheck has looked into a tweet claiming that Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha announced that 50,000 students scored A plain in the 2020 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exam, and finds it to be FALSE.

El Departamento de Energía lo desmiente. Y comprobamos que el crédito fiscal por energía solar no supera el 30%. Por: Ivette Franco, Publicado 16 Feb 2023 – 03:24 PM EST | Actualizado 17 Feb 2023 – 01:02 PM EST Comparte Cargando Video... *Actualización por corrección al 17 de febrero de 2023. No es cierto que el gobierno de Estados Unidos comprará paneles solares y te los dará sin ningún costo, si vives en uno de los once estados seleccionados, como asegura un post viral en Facebook difundido el 12 de febrero de 2023. El Departamento de Energía de Estados Unidos (DOE, por sus siglas en inglés) confirmó a elDetector que se trata de una afirmación falsa, ya que no existe un programa gubernamental en el que NO se tenga que pagar por estos paneles. Publicidad “¡Solar sin costo. Realice una prueba rápida para ver si califica para energía solar a $0!”, dice el texto desinformante que acompaña un video de 2 minutos y 56 segundos de duración que, para el 16 de febrero de 2023, cuenta con más de 14,000 visualizaciones. Al inicio de la grabación se escucha: “No compres paneles solares, si vives en uno de estos once estados de Estados Unidos, es la peor decisión que puedes tomar”. Aunque en el audio y en los subtítulos se indica que el programa es únicamente para once estados, en el video aparecen los nombres de 13 estados: California, Nueva Jersey, Hawaii, Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, Arkansas, Carolina de Sur, Nuevo México, Minnesota, Nevada y Georgia. “Haz clic en el botón de abajo de este video y realiza el test gratuito en 60 segundos (…) los cupos son limitados. Aplica ya, antes de que sea demasiado tarde”, se escucha en los últimos 50 segundos del video. _Envíanos al chat algo que quieres que verifiquemos: Pincha aquí_ Enviamos vía correo electrónico la publicación de Facebook a la Oficina de Asuntos Públicos del DOE para consultar sobre su veracidad. María E. Payán, quien trabaja para esta institución, informó a elDetector que la afirmación difundida en Facebook “fue revisada por nuestra Oficina de Tecnologías de Energía Solar [del DOE] y es falsa”. En el email de respuesta se incluyó un comentario de la directora de la Oficina de Tecnologías de Energía Solar (SETO, por sus siglas en inglés) del DOE, Becca Jones-Albertus, en el que se lee: “El gobierno de EEUU no tiene ningún programa que compre e instale paneles solares gratis. Los consumidores deben tener cuidado con las ofertas que parecen demasiado buenas para ser ciertas”. En otra parte de la respuesta enviada por el DOE, Jones-Albertus señala que “los créditos fiscales a la energía solar disponibles para los propietarios de viviendas proporcionan un crédito fiscal del 30% por la compra de un sistema de energía solar”. ## ¿Qué realmente ofrece el gobierno estadounidense? El gobierno federal ofrece un crédito fiscal federal para energía solar residencial (conocido como crédito fiscal por inversión o ITC) a los residentes que hayan comprado e instalado un sistema solar fotovoltaico en su casa. No es necesario ser propietario para poder reclamar este incentivo. Promulgado originalmente en 2005 durante la administración del expresidente republicano George W. Bush, este crédito fue prorrogado en 2015 y 2020. En agosto de 2022, el presidente Joe Biden extendió la vigencia de este crédito hasta diciembre de 2034, como parte de la Ley de Reducción de la Inflación. Esta “se trata de la mayor medida adoptada por el Congreso para hacer frente al cambio climático”, según indica World Resources Institute, organización ambiental internacional y sin ánimo de lucro. ## El crédito fiscal por energía solar no supera el 30% El monto del crédito fiscal depende del año en el que el residente instala el sistema solar fotovoltaico (o sistema PV), pero nunca excede el 30% del costo de la inversión. Este sistema “genera electricidad a partir de la luz solar captada por los paneles solares”, explica la página de la Agencia de Estados Unidos para el Desarrollo Internacional (USAID, en inglés). Los residentes que instalaron paneles solares en sus hogares para pasarse al sistema PV entre los años 2020 y 2021 son elegibles para un crédito fiscal del 26%. Si el cambio es entre 2022 y 2032, el crédito puede ser del 30%. Para 2033, el crédito baja de nuevo a 26% y en 2034 se reduce aún más, hasta quedar en 22%. Las instalaciones realizadas hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2019 son elegibles para el 30%. Como puede verse, en ninguno de los casos, el gobierno asume el 100% del costo de los paneles solares. Además de favorecer al medio ambiente, otro de los incentivos de usar la energía solar es el ahorro en electricidad. Según el DOE, el monto de las facturas mensuales de los servicios públicos puede reducirse. “En la actualidad, hay más de un millón de instalaciones solares en todo el país”, indica. ## No caigas en manos de estafadores “Si ha recibido una oferta de ‘paneles solares gratis’, es probable que sea una estafa”, dice la institución sin fines de lucro Better Business Bureau, que promueve relaciones de confianza entre compañías y consumidores desde hace más de 100 años. La organización añade que han seguido numerosos casos de este tipo de fraude e indican que los estafadores buscan dinero o información personal a través de redes sociales, teléfono o correo electrónico. ### Más sobre elDetector ![\\"Ni](\\" vice-presidencial- copy-2.jpg&width=1920&height=1080&ratio_width=160&ratio_height=120&resize_option=Crop%20Image&format=webp\\") NOTICIAS UNIVISION ### Ni el gobierno de Biden dio más de 100,000 millones de dólares a Irán, ni Trump construyó solo 2% del muro fronterizo: verificaciones del debate vicepresidencial 2024 14 min de lectura ![\\"Esa](\\" diddy-2.jpg&width=3200&height=1800&ratio_width=160&ratio_height=120&resize_option=Crop%20Image&format=webp\\") NOTICIAS UNIVISION ### Esa imagen de AMLO junto al rapero Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs no es real: está manipulada 3 min de lectura ![\\"Ese](\\" metaai.jpg&width=3200&height=1800&ratio_width=160&ratio_height=120&resize_option=Crop%20Image&format=webp\\") NOTICIAS UNIVISION ### Ese copypaste que lees de “Adiós Meta IA…” NO tiene incidencia sobre permisos concedidos previamente 6 min de lectura ![\\"Los](\\" NOTICIAS UNIVISION ### Los padrones electorales son precisos y están en permanente depuración 3 min de lectura ![\\"Desinformación](\\" factcheckers- copy.jpg&width=1920&height=1080&ratio_width=160&ratio_height=120&resize_option=Crop%20Image&format=webp\\") NOTICIAS UNIVISION ### Desinformación en elecciones: así puedes verificar por tu cuenta ese contenido que te parece sospechoso 6 min de lectura Si bien el post de Facebook no pide datos personales en el video o en el texto, elDetector encontró que el enlace al que dirige la publicación lleva a una secuencia de preguntas en las que se solicita código postal y correo electrónico, entre otros datos. En la comunicación enviada por el DOE, Jones-Albertus sugiere contactar a la Comisión Federal de Comercio para denunciar estafas y, a quienes estén considerando un sistema de energía solar, visitar la guía del propietario para hacer la transición a energía solar. ## Conclusión Es falso que el gobierno estadounidense ofrece paneles solares sin costo en once estados, como asegura un mensaje que circula en Facebook. El Departamento de Energía del país calificó la afirmación de la publicación como falsa. Comprobamos que si bien existe el crédito fiscal por energía solar, no supera el 30%. La directora de la Oficina de Tecnologías de Energía Solar del Departamento de Energía negó que exista un programa en el que el gobierno otorgue paneles solares o instalación de forma gratuita. Además, advirtió “tener cuidado con las ofertas que parecen demasiado buenas para ser ciertas” y sugirió comunicarse con la Comisión Federal de Comercio para denunciar cualquier estafa.

See the sources for this fact-check Gigi Sohn, President Joe Biden’s onetime nominee to join the Federal Communications Commission, withdrew from consideration in March 2023. More than a year later, a Facebook post suggests this happened only recently. \"Biden’s FCC pick just withdrew after being humiliated by Senator J.D. Vance,\" the April 3 post said. The post includes a clip of Vance questioning Sohn about racial rhetoric. It was flagged as part of Meta’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed.

Her nomination struggled against opposition from Republicans and some Democrats. Biden first nominated Sohn in October 2021 and then renominated her in January 2023 after her nomination had lapsed because objections had stalled it. Sohn withdrew from consideration a few weeks after the February 2023 confirmation hearing that included the exchange with Vance — not recently.

Press Information of > Bureau (PIB) through their tweet clarified that there is no such scheme by > the name ‘PM Vidhva Mahila Samriddhi Yojana’ run by the Indian Government. > Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE. On searching for the scheme mentioned in the video, we could not find any such scheme run by the Government of India.

The Government of India has many different schemes for the welfare and empowerment of women in distress like widows and young single women. But, there is no widow pension scheme called ‘PM Vidhva Mahila Samriddhi Yojana’ run by the Indian Government. > दावा: एक #Youtube वीडियो में दावा किया जा रहा है कि केंद्र सरकार \'विधवा > महिला समृद्धि योजना\' के तहत सभी विधवा महिलाओं के बैंक खाते में 5 लाख रुपये > की नकद राशि एवं फ्री सिलाई मशीन दे रही है। #PIBFactcheck: यह दावा फर्जी है। > केंद्र सरकार द्वारा ऐसी कोई योजना नहीं चलाई जा रही है। > pic.twitter.com/hDplDHh9eb > > — PIB Fact Check (@PIBFactCheck) December 10, 2020 FACTLY had earlier debunked a similar claim of a fake scheme about Government providing 2000 rupees to every girl in the country.

However, the FactCrescendo investigation found that the woman in the viral video was not Messi\'s mother. So let’s look at the viral claims first. #### Social Media Claims A video clip claims to be scenes of Lionel Messi embracing his mother after the FIFA World Cup final victory went viral, as seen below. > Messi\'s mother comes and hugs him. A mother\'s pride > pic.twitter.com/wgSwisREkR > > — Hernán Federico Pacheco (@hernanfpacheco) December 18, 2022 Archive The narratives claimed that the woman who ran to Messi in the clip was Lionel Messi\'s mother, Celia Maria Cuccittini. #### Fact-Check Fact Crescendo team did an image search of Celia Maria Cuccittini on the day of the final match and found a photo of her on the Footwearnews website. In that photo, Celia was wearing the violet jersey of the Argentina team, not the blue-and-white jersey, as seen in the clip. ![\\"\\"](\\" content/uploads/2022/12/image-38.png?resize=365%2C547&ssl=1\\")| ![\\"\\"](\\" content/uploads/2022/12/image-1.jpeg?w=640&ssl=1\\"/) ---|--- (Source: Footwearnews) (Source: Reuters) As Reuters reported, Messi is seen embracing his mother after the victory. The colour of the hair of Messi\'s mother is also slightly different from that of the woman seen in the viral clip. Still, more evidently, even though the woman in the viral clip sports a tattoo on her forearm, such a tattoo is not seen in Messi\'s mother\'s arm. A photo comparison of these images is shown below. ![\\"\\"](\\" content/uploads/2022/12/Horizontal-Image- Comparison-4-1024x577.png?resize=640%2C360&ssl=1\\") #### So, who is the woman seen in the viral clip? Some Twitter users stated that the woman in the blue-and-white jersey in the video was the mother of Messi\'s teammate and close friend, Sergio Agüero. (Kun) Tweet | (Archive) We also made an image comparison of Agüero posing with his mother, taken from his official Instagram to an image capture from the viral video. The photo resembles Agüero\'s mother rather than Messi\'s. (Source | Archive) However, there is no official confirmation that the woman in the clip is Agüero\'s mother. Local Argentine news agencies reported that the woman in the viral clip was, in fact, the cook of the Argentine Football team, Antonia Farías. > En este momento muchos pensamos que era la mama de Messi que se venia a > fundir en un abrazo, pero no, en realidad es aún más importante...Es la > encargada de cocinar las milanesas napolitanas a toda la selección > Argentina.🇦🇷🏆👩🍳Antonia Farías, campeona y cocinera.#Quatar2022 > pic.twitter.com/ipyE5auKAh > > — elGourmet (@elgourmet) December 19, 2022 Antonia Farías is much loved by the Argentinian Football team and has been a close member for over a decade. A video done on her can be seen below. #### Conclusion The viral video claiming to be scenes of Messi\'s mother running to hug and congratulate him on the field after the FIFA victory is misleading. The woman in the blue-and-white jersey who ran to hug Messi on the field was not Messi\'s mother. However, Messi\'s own mother, Celia Maria Cuccittini, is also seen warmly embracing him after the victory, clad in a violet colour Argentina team jersey. ![\\"Avatar\\"](\\" content/uploads/2019/03/False.png?w=640&ssl=1\\") Title:Lionel Messi Didn’t Hug His Mom As Indicated In This Viral Video!

Social media # The government doesn’t spend £17 million a year subsidising food in Parliament 24 March 2023 ##### What was claimed The government spends £17 million a year subsidising food in parliament, equivalent to £30,000 per MP. ##### Our verdict This is not true. According to reports, this is the three-year cost of catering services in the House of Commons. Last year it cost just over £7.5 million to run the catering service, which is open to more than 13,000 other parliamentary pass holders and visitors, as well as MPs. A post shared by thousands of people on Twitter wrongly claims that the government spends “£17m a year subsidising food in Parliament”. The post, which has also been shared a number of times on Facebook, goes on to say that the £17 million total is “ £30,000 per MP and that’s BEFORE expenses”. This is completely inaccurate. As we have written before, catering services on the parliamentary estate are effectively subsidised by the taxpayers at a cost of millions of pounds each year. However, the yearly total is significantly lower than £17 million and catering services are offered to thousands of people working there—not just MPs. False or misleading claims about politicians have the potential to affect people’s opinions of individuals, parties or how they choose to vote. We often see these types of claims spread widely online. Honesty in public debate matters You can help us take action – and get our regular free email Sign up ## How much does catering in the Houses of Parliament cost? The post doesn’t give a source for the figure of £17 million per year, so we can’t say exactly where this claim comes from. However, Open Democracy reported in May 2022 that £17 million was spent subsidising food and drink in the House of Commons specifically over a period of three years. In the same three years, it also reported that a further £8 million had been spent subsidising food and drink at the House of Lords. In a response to a Freedom of Information request, a spokesperson for the House of Commons said that it does not provide a subsidised catering service “in the commercial sense of the word”. However, catering services in the Houses of Parliament are run at a loss, which means that while food and drink aren’t directly subsidised, public money is spent on maintaining the system. The House of Commons has published data on the cost of catering services every year since 2011. Most recently, in 2021/22, the total cost of catering services minus the sales income was just over £7.5 million. In 2020/21, this cost was around £9.1 million. These are both much higher than the costs in previous years. In 2019/20 it cost £4.6 million, 2018/19 £2.6 million, 2017/18 £3.1 million and 2016/17 £2.9 million. The costs were so high in 2020/21 because it included Covid-19 lockdowns in England, which meant many people worked from home and sales were limited, but fixed costs remained high. The House of Commons’ accounts for this period state that, due to tours of the estate being shut down and very few staff or visitors allowed on site, catering was “severely curtailed”. ## Catering services don’t just provide food and drink for MPs The post’s claim that the catering service costs around £30,000 per MP is also misleading, as it ignores the fact that the “subsidised” food and drink is available to thousands of other people. The House of Commons has said that as well as 650 MPs, the catering services are also open to around 14,500 other parliamentary pass holders such as MPs staff, House staff, civil servants, contractors, Peers, members of the press and a “large number” of non-pass holding visitors.

In this article, we fact-check the accuracy of this claim. ![\\"\\"](\\" content/uploads//2024/06/Rohingya-60k-births-Year-Claim.jpg\\")The archived version of this post can be found here > Claim: Within a year, 60,000 babies have been born in Rohingya camps in > India. > > Fact: In 2018, Dr. Poonam Khetrapal reported an expectation of 60,000 > childbirths in Rohingya camps in Bangladesh.

However, there is no official data available on the number of > births occurring in Rohingya camps in India. Hence, the claim made in the > post is FALSE. 60,000 childbirths in Rohingya camps? The claim that 60,000 children were born in Rohingya camps in one year does not pertain to India. A Google keyword search led us to a 2018 news article discussing an expected 60,000 births in Rohingya camps. However, this report is about Rohingya camps in Bangladesh, not India. Discussing the deplorable conditions in the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh, Dr. Poonam Khetrapal, the South-East Asia Regional Director of the World Health Organization (WHO), described the situation of the Rohingyas who have fled Myanmar as horrifying. She also estimated that “60,000 babies will be born in these refugee camps over the next year. ![\\"\\"](\\" content/uploads//2024/06/Rohingya-60k-births-Year-Image-1.jpg\\") Dr. Khetrapal’s comments might be the source of the viral news. However, she was referring to camps in Bangladesh, not India. Therefore, it is clear that her remarks have been misunderstood and wrongly attributed to India. UNHCR’s official figures: Although UNHCR’s official statistics are not as high as claimed, they emphasized that the conditions in these camps are alarming. In 2018, UNHCR reported that over 60 Rohingya babies are born every day in the refugee camps in Bangladesh. This figure may have been misconstrued as 60,000. According to the latest information from a 2023 news report, the Office of Refugee Relief and Repatriation indicated that approximately 100 children are born each day in Rohingya camps, totaling nearly 200,000 births between 2017 and 2023. This suggests that while the birth rate in these camps is alarming, it is not as high as claimed in the viral post. The status of refugees living in the Bangladeshi camps can be viewed here. ![\\"\\"](\\" content/uploads//2024/06/Rohingya-60k-births-Year-Image-2.jpg\\") Rohingyas in India: According to UNHCR, as of 31 January 2022, more than 46,000 refugees and asylum-seekers are registered with UNHCR India, mainly from Myanmar and Afghanistan. However, there is no official information about the number of childbirths happening in the Rohingya camps in India. ![\\"\\"](\\" content/uploads//2024/06/Rohingya-60k-births-Year-Image-3-1024x377.jpg\\") The Indian government has clarified in Parliament on several occasions that there are no exact figures regarding the number of Rohingyas living in the country. However, it is estimated that about 40,000 Rohingyas from Myanmar have entered India illegally. This makes it clear that the claim of 60,000 births a year in Rohingya camps is not about India. To sum up, this news about 60,000 births a year in Rohingya camps pertains to Bangladesh, not India. ![\\"Factly\\"](\\" WhatsApp-channel-minified-scaled.jpeg\\") Share.

Pesan berantai ini beredar di tengah pandemi virus Corona Covid-19 di sejumlah negara, termasuk Indonesia. Juru bicara pemerintah untuk penanggulangan virus Corona, Achmad Yurianto, melaporkan bahwa, hingga 17 Maret 2020, pasien positif Corona di Indonesia mencapai 172 orang. Apa benar pesan berantai soal pemberlakuan karantina di 10 daerah tersebut berasal dari Presiden Jokowi? PEMERIKSAAN FAKTA Biro Pers, Media, dan Informasi Sekretariat Presiden memastikan bahwa narasi tersebut tidak bersumber dari Presiden Jokowi. Bantahan itu diterbitkan di situs resmi Presiden RI yang dikelola oleh Biro Pers, Media, dan Informasi Sekretariat Presiden pada 17 Maret 2020. \"Narasi itu tidak dapat dipertanggungjawabkan kebenarannya.\" ![](\\" tangkapan layar rilis di situs resmi Presiden RI. Dalam keterangan persnya pada Senin, 16 Maret 2020, di Istana Kepresidenan Bogor, Jokowi menyampaikan sejumlah arahan yang justru tidak sesuai dengan narasi yang beredar tersebut. Pertama, kebijakan karantina wilayah atau lockdown, baik di tingkat nasional maupun daerah, adalah kebijakan pemerintah pusat. \"Kebijakan ini tidak boleh diambil oleh pemerintah daerah dan sampai saat ini tidak ada kita berpikiran ke arah kebijakan lockdown,\" kata Jokowi. Menurut Jokowi, langkah yang perlu dilakukan saat ini adalah pembatasan sosial atau social distancing, yaitu dengan mengurangi mobilitas orang dari satu tempat ke tempat lain, menjaga jarak, dan mengurangi kerumunan orang yang membawa risiko besar pada penyebaran virus Corona. \"Kebijakan belajar dari rumah, bekerja dari rumah, dan beribadah di rumah perlu terus untuk kita gencarkan untuk mengurangi tingkat penyebaran Covid-19 dengan tetap mempertahankan pelayanan kepada masyarakat, baik itu urusan kebutuhan pokok, layanan kesehatan, dan layanan-layanan publik lainnya,\" kata Jokowi. Terkait kebijakan transportasi, Jokowi menyampaikan bahwa transportasi publik tetap disediakan oleh pemerintah pusat maupun daerah, dengan catatan meningkatkan kebersihan moda-moda transportasi yang digunakan. Moda transportasi tersebut antara lain kereta api, bus kota, Moda Raya Terpadu (MRT), Lintas Rel Terpadu (LRT), dan bus trans. \"Yang penting bisa mengurangi tingkat kerumunan, mengurangi antrian, dan mengurangi tingkat kepadatan orang di dalam moda transportasi tersebut sehingga kita bisa menjaga jarak satu dan yang lainnya,\" ujar Jokowi. Perintah Jokowi terkait penanganan virus Corona Covid-19 pada 16 Maret 2020 juga diberitakan oleh Tempo. Salah satunya mengenai lockdwon yang belum diberlakukan oleh pemerintah pusat. \"Kebijakan lockdown tidak boleh diambil pemerintah daerah, itu kebijakan pemerintah pusat, dan sampai sekarang tidak ada kebijakan itu,\" kata Jokowi. Saat ini, menurut Jokowi, yang perlu dipikirkan adalah meminimalisir penyebaran virus Corona Covid-19. Salah satunya adalah dengan mengurangi mobilitas orang dari satu tempat ke tempat lain. \"Transportasi publik harus tetap dijalankan oleh pemerintah pusat dan daerah dengan memperhatikan kebersihan,\" katanya. \"Yang penting mengurangi tingkat kepadatan dan kerumunan.\" KESIMPULAN Berdasarkan pemeriksaan fakta Tempo, narasi dalam pesan berantai di atas, bahwa Presiden Jokowi memberlakukan karantina di 10 daerah, keliru. Hingga saat ini, pemerintah pusat belum memilih opsi untuk melakukan karantina atau lockdwon sebagai cara menangani pandemi virus Corona Covid-19.

It read: \"Genius D-Day Inventions that Helped Win the War.\" The D-Day invasion of Normandy occurred on June 6, 1944. ![\\"An](\\" ad.jpg\\") The ad in question. Advertisement: The ad appeared on MSNBC.com and other news websites that displayed ads from the Taboola advertising network. In the past, such military ads often ended up being misleading. However, this one was true. We clicked the ad. On page 20 of the lengthy article, it revealed that the picture showed part of what was known as Operation PLUTO. The acronym stood for \"Pipe Line Under The Ocean.\" We confirmed the photo\'s authenticity on the Getty Images website. The pipes carried gasoline to help the Allied war effort. The progress made in the weeks following D-Day allowed the operation to be completed by August 1944. In other words, the pipeline wasn\'t used for D-Day. Rather, the Allied invasion allowed for the operation to later be successful. ![\\"An](\\" A man standing next to one of the spools, then called a \"Conundrum,\" for Operation PLUTO\'s oil pipeline in 1944. (Photo by Keystone-France/Gamma- Keystone via Getty Images) Advertisement: ![\\"An](\\" An alternate view of one of the \"Conundrum\" spools for Operation PLUTO\'s oil pipeline in 1944. (Photo by Imperial War Museums via Getty Images) Advertisement: On May 30, 1945, the Kingston Whig-Standard reported on the secret operation, calling it \"one of the most closely guarded secrets of the invasion of Europe.\" > From Aug. 12, 1944, to May 8, 1945, about 120,000,000 gallons of gasoline > reached the Anglo-American armies via the pipeline system laid under the > English Channel by British engineers in co-operation with the British Navy. > One million gallons daily still reach Frances through the 20 undersea > pipelines, 16 running from Dungeness to Boulogne, four from the Isle of > Wight to Cherbourg. From there the gasoline is carried via high pressure > lines to the Rhine. > > Operation PLUTO guaranteed uninterrupted delivery of bulk petroleum (which > usually needs a special harbour and dock and extensive storage facilities) > across the beaches, making it invulnerable from air, surface, or submarine > attack, and completely independent of the weather. Winston Churchill, the former prime minister of the United Kingdom, once paid tribute to the feat of British engineering: > \"It is now possible to reveal the existence of an oil pipeline system under > the sea stretching across the Channel to the Continent. > > A large part of the Allied Expeditionary Force has been supplied with petrol > by this unique method, which provides for petroleum the same kind of > facilities upon a hostile shore that the Mulberry harbours provided for > general military stores. > > Operation PLUTO is a wholly British achievement and a feat of amphibious > engineering skill of which we may well be proud.\" Advertisement: ![\\"Person,](\\" crown-e1640906064139.jpg\\") A \"Conundrum\" loaded with pipe and ready to be carried out to sea. (Courtesy: United Kingdom Government/Wikimedia Commons, 1944) Advertisement: General Dwight D. Eisenhower also expressed his \"warm appreciation of the work the PLUTO pipelines have done in supplying United States as well as British forces in their drive into Germany.\" An old British Pathé newsreel provided a glimpse at how the entire process worked from planning to execution: Advertisement: In sum, yes, the impressive photo of massive coils of pipe did show something that helped to win the war. They supplied hundreds of millions of gallons of fuel for Allied forces, helping in the effort to drive Germany to surrender in early May 1945.

The tale claimed that Dikec took up shooting after a heated argument with his ex-wife and works as a mechanic in Istanbul. This article aims to fact-check these claims and shed light on the real background of Yusuf Dikec. Social Media Posts Recently, several online users shared a story about Yusuf Dikec, a Turkish shooter who won a silver medal in the 10m air pistol event at the 2024 Paris Olympics. They claimed he started his shooting career after a heated argument with his ex-wife. The story described him as a mechanic in Istanbul who took up the sport to prove his ex-wife wrong. It was shared thousands of times across Facebook. ![\\"\\"](\\" Source | Archive ![\\"\\"](\\" ptMebs5rcozDWd3t0QxLgSJrMEksOqJxppCjb2nqfsjxekUrkVnlALFL7XSnl5Xp2--Io- bjHuV6bxZXfv8NaYUb3ue84focn29_w7-cL-lwMEA?key=vGztPnjT7Wfv2D7fdjd13g\\"/) Source | Archive Fact-Check To verify these claims, we began fact-checking using multiple keyword searches to find the origin of the claim.

Yusuf Dikec, a Turkish pistol shooter, gained viral fame during the 2024 Paris Olympics for his casual demeanor while competing. He won a silver medal in the 10m air pistol mixed team event with his teammate Sevval Ilayda Tarhan, marking Turkey’s first-ever Olympic medal in shooting. Dikec\'s relaxed style, including shooting with one hand in his pocket and wearing standard glasses, sharply contrasted with his competitors\' more specialized gear. His viral photos and memes portrayed him as a “regular guy” or even a “hitman” at the Olympics. Despite this newfound fame, Dikec is a seasoned athlete who has competed in every Summer Olympics since 2008. Additionally, he is a retired non-commissioned officer of Turkey’s paramilitary police force, the Gendarmerie (Source: AP, NDTV) Conclusion The claim about Yusuf Dikec’s origin story as a shooter is entirely fabricated and should be regarded as a piece of satire. His real background as a seasoned athlete and retired officer highlights his long-term commitment to the sport. ![\\"Avatar\\"](\\" content/uploads/2019/03/False.png?w=640&ssl=1\\") Title:Fact-Checking the Turkish Olympic Shooter Yusuf Dikec’s Origin Story Fact Check By: Cielito Wang Result: False ![\\"\\"](\\" content/uploads/2023/05/Whats-app-sri-lanka-new.png?w=640\\"/) Next Story #### Similar Posts ## ![\\"Fact](\\"/images/logo.png\\") © Copyright 2022, All rights reserved.

(Video: The Washington Post) ![\\"\\"](\\" apps/imrs.php?src= authors/washpost/44f31222-8f22-4a07-b0eb-c77cbf11540a.png&h=196&w=196\\"/) Analysis by Glenn Kessler October 15, 2019 at 3:00 a.m. EDT Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) “made up a conversation. He made a conversation that didn’t exist. He never thought in a million years that I was going to release the real conversation. And when it did, the whistleblower turned out to be totally inaccurate.” — President Trump, interview with Jeanine Pirro on Fox News, Oct. 12 “Nancy Pelosi hates the United States of America because she wouldn’t be doing this. And I’m telling you, foreign nations, foreign people looking at us, they honestly think we’re nuts. And then you have presidents and saying nothing was wrong. … But Nancy Pelosi said, ‘Well, that’s what he said. Isn’t it?’ But she was angry as hell when she got to read the transcript. Because she said, ‘Wait a minute, that’s not what I was told.’ But she was stuck, she was stuck.” Story continues below advertisement — Trump, campaign rally in Lake Charles, La., Oct. 11 Advertisement In our database of President Trump’s false or misleading claims, we’ve documented how he twists things out of proportion or simply invents stories out of whole cloth. Sometimes, he even goes through a time warp. All of these elements are present in this pair of statements, which are similar or identical to other statements he made over the weekend at various events or media availabilities. ✅ Follow Fact-checking politicians Follow Central to the president’s message is a Four-Pinocchio claim: that the whistleblower complaint inaccurately portrayed his July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the events surrounding it. But we’ve documented that most of the whistleblower’s factual allegations have turned out to be on target. Story continues below advertisement But the president wants his supporters to believe that the complaint falsely portrayed the phone call so he can explain why, in his words, the man leading the impeachment investigation “made up” a conversation and the House speaker supposedly was upset when she saw the actual transcript. In an added twist, Trump sometimes tries to adjust the time frame to make his point appear even more dramatic. ### The Schiff description In a bit of a self-inflicted wound, Schiff at a congressional hearing on Sept. 26 summarized the content of Trump’s July 25 call, occasionally with dramatic effect (or what Schiff later called a parody), that he opined was “a classic organized crime shakedown.\" Advertisement Story continues below advertisement There is no exact transcript of the conversation — in which Trump urged an investigation of former vice president Joe Biden, a potential 2020 election rival — as the summary was cobbled together from notes by White House officials. So Schiff told the audience that “this is the essence of what the president communicates” and that he would describe “in sum and character, what the president was trying to communicate.” That was a signal to listeners that he was not quoting verbatim from the rough transcription. Nevertheless, Schiff included some eyebrow-raising embellishments. In particular, Schiff suggested that Trump, after asking for “a favor,” said something along the lines of: “I’m going to say this only seven times, so you better listen good. I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent.” This is where Schiff gave Trump an opening for attack. Biden’s name came up twice in the call, not seven times. The president also urged a probe into the discredited conspiracy theory that a private company had a role in starting the “Russian hoax” because supposedly a Democratic National Committee server has been spirited to Ukraine. Trump also said three times that his lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani or Attorney General William P. Barr would get in contact with Zelensky. So there were a number of requests — ABC News counted eight — but not seven about Biden. Trump also did not request that Zelenksy “make up dirt” on Biden. Advertisement Story continues below advertisement Trump has taken this inaccurate account by Schiff and run hard with it. (Never mind the fact that Trump routinely embellishes his “facts.”) He has even declared that Schiff was guilty of a “crime” and should be tried for “treason” or even “impeached,” even though members of Congress cannot be impeached. “He gave the most horrible rendition, adding his own words. … He took my really — believe it or not — congenial and gentle words, and he made me sound like a tyrant,” Trump said Oct. 5. Apparently, even this spin was not good enough for the president. In recent days, he has added a new wrinkle: that Schiff gave his description of the call before Trump released the transcript, thereby providing a gotcha moment for his fans. Story continues below advertisement * _“He made a conversation that didn’t exist. He never thought in a million years that I was going to release the real conversation. And when it did, the whistleblower turned out to be totally inaccurate.”_ (Oct. 12, Fox Interview) * _“This crooked Adam Schiff made a statement — long, beautiful statement — and it was a fraud. He repeated my call, but it wasn’t me. He made it so bad. … But then I did something that they didn’t expect. I immediately called up Ukraine, through my representatives. … I got approval to immediately make that call public. … By the way, he only did it because he never thought that I was going to release the transcript. … He did it and then I released the transcript. They never thought in a million years, even in terms of violation with another country, but we got approval.”_(Oct. 12, Value Voters summit) * _“When Schiff goes out and speaks before Congress, they never thought I was going to release the transcript of my call.”_ (Oct. 11, campaign rally in Lake Charles, La.) * _“Democrat’s game was foiled when we caught Schiff fraudulently making up my Ukraine conversation, when I released the exact conversation Transcript.”_ (Oct. 14, tweet) But this is totally mixed up. The rough transcript — which the White House acknowledged was not verbatim — was released on Sept. 25 and Schiff held the hearing on Sept. 26. Republicans at the hearing were able to call out Schiff’s embellishments precisely because they had the recorded words in front of them. ### Pelosi’s reaction While Trump has been knocking Schiff for putting words into his mouth, he has also been putting fake words in the mouth of House Speaker Pelosi (D-Calif.). In Trump’s dramatic telling, Pelosi authorized the impeachment inquiry on Sept. 24 — only to be shocked when the rough transcript was released a day later. Advertisement * _“They came out with a whistleblower report before they saw the conversation. Had they waited one day, Nancy Pelosi wouldn’t have made a fool out of herself, and she would have been able to say what I said. Because when she saw it, she said, ‘This is not what the whistleblower said.’ ”_ (Oct. 7, remarks at White House) * _“Nancy Pelosi said, a day before seeing the transcript of the call with the Ukrainian President, \'We’ve got to impeach him. We’ve got to impeach him, right?’ And then she saw the call and she said to her people, ‘What the hell? Nobody ever told me this was the call.’ But she keeps going anyway because the press is fake, and they play right into their head.”_(Oct. 10, Minneapolis campaign rally) * _Nancy Pelosi said, ‘Well, that’s what he said. Isn’t it?’ But she was angry as hell when she got to read the transcript. Because she said, ‘Wait a minute, that’s not what I was told.’ But she was stuck, she was stuck.”_(Oct. 11, Lake Charles, La., campaign rally) * _“It was a terrible, terrible fraudulent thing. And then Nancy Pelosi went on television. She was very angry when she read the actual call, because this was an exact — I guess stenographers, they took it down. And she was very angry because she got led — she was a day early when she started talking about impeachment.”_(Oct. 12, Value Voters summit) Trump offers no evidence for his supposed knowledge of Pelosi’s “angry as hell” closed-door conversations. Drew Hammill, a Pelosi spokesman, said Trump’s account is fiction. Story continues below advertisement When the rough transcript was released, Pelosi’s assessment was tough: “The release of the notes of the call by the White House confirms that the President engaged in behavior that undermines the integrity of our elections, the dignity of the office he holds and our national security. The President has tried to make lawlessness a virtue in America and now is exporting it abroad.” The White House did not respond to a request for comment. ### The Pinocchio Test We’ve gone well beyond irony at this point. To make his case against impeachment, Trump argues that the whistleblower did not get his phone call correct, when key elements of the complaint are confirmed by the rough transcript released by the White House. The rest of the whistleblower complaint checks out well, too. Advertisement Story continues below advertisement Then Trump alters the timeline to make it appear as if the release of the transcript came after Schiff’s dramatic reenactment, in a false effort to claim he played gotcha on the Democrats. Finally, in complaining that Schiff concocted the words used in the call, Trump conjures up an invented conversation of Pelosi with her staff. That further undercuts whatever complaint he might have about Schiff’s description of the conversation with Zelensky. The president earns Four Pinocchios, yet again. ### Four Pinocchios (About our rating scale) Send us facts to check by filling out this form Sign up for The Fact Checker weekly newsletter The Fact Checker is a verified signatory to the International Fact-Checking Network code of principles Share Comments ![\\"\\"](\\"/dr/resources/images/generic-newsletter-signup.png\\") ![\\"\\"](\\"/dr/resources/images/generic-newsletter-signup.png\\") Sign up Advertisement Advertisement live updatespolitics![\\"\\"](\\" apps/imrs.php?src= washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/34GPOUTQBGPJDTBZOSU6XT4H5M.JPG&w=767\\")3:42 PM #### Vance refuses to say Trump lost in 2020, sparking debate’s biggest clash 3:38 PMIn debate, Walz struggles to answer question on his time in Hong Kong 3:31 PMVance peddles Trump agenda in softer tones, misleading ways during debate 3:20 PMWho won the Vance-Walz VP debate?

No, that\'s not true: This fake cover was posted online before TNE published its Issue 337 for the week of April 20-26, 2023. The real TNE cover shows a photo of Sunak sitting in a lawn chair by the pool at the Château de Courcy in Normandy, France. The main cover line reads, \"Rishi Sunak\'s war on the elites\" The cartoon was posted on Telegram by the channel ТелеДНО (TeleDNO) on April 14, 2023. The Telegram post was captioned in Russian: > Журнал «European» нашёл того, кто точно сможет сдружиться с Далай Ламой: «Я > пососу, если ты заплатишь».[Translated by Google:] European magazine found > someone who could definitely be friends with the Dalai Lama: \'I\'ll suck if > you pay.\' Copies of the fake TNE cover were reposted by others on Twitter. One tweet (archived here) was posted by @Spriter99880 on April 17, 2023. It had no caption other than a \"face with peeking eye\" emoji: > 🫣 The main cover line of the fake cover reads: > HOW MUCH IS BRITAIN WILLING TO PAY TO RESOLVE THE UKRAINIAN CRISIS?

One image shows the TNE cover featuring a photo of Rishi Sunak (center). The same day another tweet (right) featured a photo of a related article reporting about the fake cover cartoon and naming it the lie of the week. ![\\"issue337compare.jpg\\"](\\" thumb-900xauto-3107714.jpg\\") (Source: Twitter screenshots taken on Wed Apr 26 13:28:19 2023 UTC) The text in the TNE related article reads: > LIE OF THE WEEK Fake TNE cover: \'How much is Britain willing to pay to > resolve the Ukrainian crisis?\'Vladimir Putin, Russian president, indicted > international criminal, former spy, via various online channels including > Telegram, April 17 2023 > > WHY IT\'S A LIE• Over the weekend of April 15-16, a front cover image of the > New European #337 appeared online.

This fake English-language cover has been shared by accounts posting in several different languages: French: Indonesian: Czech: Russian: And it was on China\'s Weibo: This cartoon plays off a real controversy. On February 28, 2023, the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, Dalai Lama, kissed a boy on the lips and asked the boy to suck his tongue. Public criticism of this was not immediate because the video of the incident did not emerge for some time. On April 10, 2023, a formal statement was posted on Twitter that expressed the Dalai Lama\'s wish to apologize to the child and his family.

But it's a hoax. The ultraviolet light that What works against viruses is UV-C, which must act for more than five seconds so that it has an effect against viruses and bacteria, and misuse of it is harmful to our health. ## The ultraviolet light effective against viruses is UV-C and it must be used under safe conditions Not all types of UV are valid for inactivating viruses, as I already told you. we count in this article. The ultraviolet light effective against these is UV-C (shortwave ultraviolet light). According to the researcher specialized in Virology and Molecular Biology at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research (Heidelberg, Germany), Mónica Berjón Otero, this light \"is too harmful to us. Therefore, its use should be restricted to expert personnel with the necessary security measures.\" Berjón explains also that "currently, the possibility of using a light is being studied UV-C that does not affect our cells (less powerful) to disinfect the surfaces, but its effectiveness is still in the research phase\". The pharmacist Marián Boticaria García published this video on her account. Twitter stating that "this does not remove the virus in 5 seconds. This is a SCAM that also puts health at risk by offering a false sense of security\". For his part, Pepe Alcamí, virologist at the Carlos III Health Institute (ISCIII) also emphasizes that "germicidal UVs are extraordinarily toxic, they can cause serious burns and alterations of the retina and even blindness\". In the case of such a lamp, \"most likely be a UVA (like the rays in the cabins) and then do not use it because it does not serves\". ## UV radiation machines need more time to act Pepe Alcamí affirms that he and his team use "UVC to destroy contamination in our grow cabins but we need at least 2 hours to sterilize them. Bacteria are more resistant than viruses but 5 seconds does not seem to be of much use.\" The researcher at the Laboratory Coronavirus at the National Center for Biotechnology (CNB-CSIC), Sonia Zuñiga, He also explained to Maldita Ciencia that ultraviolet "is the light that we put in the flow cabinets in which we work with viruses (after disinfect with a chemical agent) for between ten and twenty minutes\". Therefore, the time it takes for ultraviolet radiation to act against viruses is greater than five seconds. ## Ultraviolet light is effective against coronaviruses only to a certain extent spot Viruses are sensitive to ultraviolet light since it destroys nucleic acids and damages their DNA or RNA, leaving them unable to perform vital functions. However, as Sonia explained to Maldita Ciencia Zuñiga, although coronaviruses in general are sensitive to radiation ultraviolet, "the problem with UV light is that it produces a very superficial sterilization, so that (for example) if we have a solution with viruses, it is practically impossible to sterilize it and eliminate the virus completely, there is always some residual virus left.\" Zuñiga says that that radiation is used for \"smooth\" surfaces. Along the same lines, the scientist in the CNB-CSIC Biosafety Service, Fernando Usera, highlights that "ultraviolet light is a very good germicide [which destroys germs] but has no penetration, that's the problem\". ## Health warns that ultraviolet light devices can cause eye and skin damage The Ministry of Health has warned that ultraviolet light devices or ozone can cause eye damage, skin damage, or skin irritation. respiratory tract. In a document published on June 25, it refers to a review of the evidence that concludes that “there is no evidence about the effectiveness and safety of SARS-CoV-2 disinfection with disinfection devices radiation with ultraviolet light or ozone.” The available scientific evidence, according to the review, suggests that “both devices can reduce the virus population on a surface.” "Without However, it is unknown whether this reduction is sufficient to achieve disinfection,” he indicates. Health explains that to establish minimum security requirements applicable to these equipment and devices, “the UNE 0068 Specification (June 2020)”, which establishes requirements for safety for ultraviolet light devices used for disinfection of air of premises and surfaces. * * Updated on June 26 with warnings from the Ministry of Health.

But unauthorized spending isn’t necessarily wasteful spending. It includes all of the federal funds spent on veterans’ medical care, the National Institutes of Health, the FBI, the Federal Election Commission and U.S. embassies and consulates abroad. It also includes most of the money spent on NASA, the Transportation Security Administration and the National Weather Service. By rule, government spending is supposed to occur in two successive stages. First, Congress votes to authorize spending, and then it votes to appropriate spending. But for reasons we will get into later, some programs are not formally reauthorized, and Congress intentionally appropriates money to them anyway — what is sometimes referred to as “zombie” spending. The Congressional Budget Office tracks those instances in an annual report on “Unauthorized Appropriations and Expiring Authorizations.” In its most recent such report, in January, CBO determined that Congress appropriated about $310 billion in 2016 related to 256 laws for programs whose authorizations of appropriations have expired, but which had money appropriated to them anyway. Douglas Elmendorf, dean of the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and a former director of the Congressional Budget Office first appointed in 2009 by Democratic congressional leaders, warned not to dismiss the worthiness of funding simply because congressional authorization has technically expired. “Sometimes Congress does not follow its own procedures by authorizing programs before appropriating money to them,” Elmendorf told us via email. “That mistake does not mean that the appropriated spending is any less valuable than spending for programs that have been authorized.” Donald Marron, director of economic policy initiatives at the Urban Institute and a former acting director of the Congressional Budget Office in 2006, when Republicans controlled the House and Senate, agreed. “I am sure you can find some outdated programs on the list,” Marron said. “But the list also includes large, popular programs like medical care for veterans, the National Institutes of Health, and NASA that Congress simply hasn’t bothered to reauthorize.” There may be savings to be had in any or all of those programs, of course — as one could argue there are in any government program — and Trump is free to argue that any one of them is obsolete or wasteful. But to dismiss them simply as “programs that are not authorized in law” leaves a distorted impression about the expenditures. ### Trump on Military Spending In a speech at the Union League of Philadelphia on Sept. 7, Trump outlined a number of proposed spending increases to “rebuild our military,” which he said has become “depleted” due to the defense cuts in the sequester. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates it would cost $450 billion over 10 years to repeal the defense sequester cuts — as Trump said he would ask Congress to do. Trump said that he would also ask Congress to fully offset that cost, and he highlighted several places where he could increase revenues or cut spending. Trump said he would reduce improper government payments “estimated to exceed $135 billion per year” and the amount of unpaid taxes “estimated to be as high as $385 billion a year.” CRFB warns, however, that even with “extraordinarily aggressive effort to close the tax gap and reduce improper payments,” the best the government could hope for would be savings of $100 billion over a decade. Trump also said he would shrink the federal workforce through attrition, which CRFB estimates could save another $50 billion over 10 years. And finally, Trump said he would “stop funding programs that are not authorized in law.” > Trump, Sept. 7: We can also stop funding programs that are not authorized in > law. Congress spent $320 billion last year on 256 expired laws. These are > laws that are gone. Spent all of that money. Removing just 5 percent of that > will reduce spending by almost $200 billion over a 10-year period. Trump’s estimate that reducing unauthorized appropriations by 5 percent would bring in $200 billion is a bit high, according CRFB, which projects it would save about $150 billion over a decade. And, CRFB estimates all of those measures together would still only cover about two-thirds of the total cost of Trump’s military spending increases. (Trump added that defense could draw on extra revenues from increased energy production, but as CRFB noted, Trump has previously earmarked those revenues for infrastructure spending.) Let’s focus on money spent on expired laws — which Trump gives the impression are outdated, obsolete or otherwise wasteful or unnecessary. ### Unauthorized Appropriations Technically, House rules prohibit appropriations bills from awarding funding to agencies or programs that are not already authorized by law. But that rule is regularly waived. In a report on unauthorized appropriations, David Reich, a senior fellow at the left-leaning Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, explained that in recent decades, legislators often began adding special “authorization of appropriation” language to authorization law. Appropriations that exceed that amount, or which have expired, are considered “unauthorized.” Congress often does not renew the authorization as prescribed. In a story for the Weekly Standard, Kevin Kosar, the director of the governance project at the R Street Institute, a libertarian think tank, said that the amount of unauthorized appropriations has doubled over the last decade, while the number of programs operating under expired authorizations has increased by more than 45 percent. “So, why does Congress not bother to reauthorize agencies and programs? Because it is time-consuming and often opens up difficult political feuds,” Kosar told us via email. “So why doesn’t Congress allow some agencies and programs to just shut down? Because shutting them down can make some voters mad, and could create policy disasters. There’s a small $22.5 million grant program for bulletproof vests for police whose authorization has expired. What politician is comfortable shutting that program down? And the Department of State has not been reauthorized since 2004. Instead of appropriating funds without authorization, should Congress simply shut down America’s embassies and diplomatic offices?” Nonetheless, Kosar argues that there are good reasons to authorize and appropriate funds separately. The two-step process “makes spending harder” and gives Congress “regular opportunities to rethink and revise policies,” Kosar wrote in the Weekly Standard. Similar arguments have been raised by some Republican legislators who criticize Congress for allowing programs to “run on autopilot,” as Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Tim Phillips, president of Americans for Prosperity, wrote in a Sept. 1 op-ed in the Washington Post. In March, McMorris Rodgers introduced H.R. 4730, which would impose an automatic 10 percent spending cut for a program in the first year after authorization expires, with deeper cuts — and ultimately elimination of the program — in subsequent years if there is no reauthorization. Reich, of the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, argues that such legislation would do more harm than good. “A concern about all these proposals is that Congress is already having serious trouble enacting appropriations in a timely manner; creating more hurdles would likely worsen the delays and difficulties,” Reich stated. “Also, making up-to-date authorizations of funding levels a prerequisite to maintaining appropriations for important agencies and programs would create more ‘must pass’ measures that members could use as leverage to force action on other matters and that could lead to more brinkmanship and impasses.” We take no position on whether or not it’s a good idea for Congress to appropriate funds to programs with expired authorization. But for Trump to suggest there may be $320 billion a year to be had by ending funding to “programs that are not authorized in law,” leaves the impression that Congress did not intend to fund these programs. The Center for Budget and Policy Priorities went through the CBO’s list of unauthorized appropriations and found it included the entirety of federal funding for veterans’ medical care, the National Institutes for Health, tenant-based rental assistance, Head Start and the National Science Foundation. It also includes most of the budget for the Department of Justice’s law enforcement and legal activities, NASA, the Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration, and half the budget of the Environmental Protection Agency. “This is not stuff that Congress intended to shut down, I don’t think,” Reich told us. “If a candidate wants to end unauthorized appropriations — fine,” Kosar told us. “They are a violation of the law and lamentable. But for him or her to say so credibly means saying aloud which of the unauthorized agencies and programs he wants to abolish.” Ed Lorenzen, a senior adviser at the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, told us, “The fact that a program has an expired authorization does not necessarily mean the program is outdated or obsolete. It doesn’t even mean Congress hasn’t reviewed the program recently. It simply means that the language in the underlying law for the program which says Congress is authorized to appropriate money for the program – often a specific dollar amount – has expired. But Congress will often review a program and amend the underlying laws regarding the program without updating the authorization for appropriations.” Lorenzen cited the example of the Department of Veterans Affairs health system, which is considered an unauthorized program because the specific authorization of appropriations expired years ago. It was appropriated $61.1 billion for fiscal year 2016. Although it is the biggest ticket item on the list of unauthorized appropriations, Lorenzen noted that “Congress completed a thorough review of and enacted reforms to the VA health system last year in response to the issue of long waiting times.” Nor does the fact that a program is “unauthorized” mean there is no congressional oversight of it. “All these programs are still subject to the annual appropriations process in which the Appropriations Committee reviews the programs, decides whether or not to continue funding and what level of funding to provide and often contains provisions regarding operations of those programs,” Lorenzen said. “Requiring that programs be reauthorized is a good way to provide for regular review of the programs and it would be better if Congress were to reauthorize programs with expired authorizations,” Lorenzen said. “But the simple fact that a program has an expired authorization does not mean it is outdated or unnecessary.” Update, Sept. 14: This story has been updated to clarify that the director of the Congressional Budget Office is appointed by the leadership in Congress. An earlier version of this story identified two former CBO directors as serving under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. We did not intend to imply that presidents appoint CBO directors. * Categories * FactCheck Posts * Featured Posts * Tags * Presidential Election 2016 * Location * National * Issue * government spending * unauthorized appropriations * People * Donald Trump Previous StoryMore Bogus Trumponomics Next StoryTrump’s Job Loss Exaggeration Ask SciCheck Q: Are wind farms harmful to the environment?

Vaccines # Kate Shemirani makes several false claims about childhood vaccines 27 February 2023 ##### What was claimed Children can now expect to receive almost 100 vaccines on the recommended schedule. ##### Our verdict This is not correct. By our count, children in the UK would be offered a maximum of 40 doses by the age of 17. ##### What was claimed No vaccine has ever been proven safe. ##### Our verdict All vaccines used in the UK have been proven safe in stringent testing. We have decades of safety data for many common vaccines. ##### What was claimed No vaccine has ever been proven effective. ##### Our verdict All vaccines used in the UK have been proven effective in stringent testing. We have decades of efficacy data for many common vaccines. ##### What was claimed No two vaccines have ever been tested together for their efficacy. ##### Our verdict Many vaccines have been tested together for efficacy, including as part of the recent co-administration of Covid-19 and flu vaccines. __1 of 4 claims Kate Shemirani, a former nurse and campaigner against vaccines, has made false claims about vaccines in a Facebook post. We’ve checked several false claims about the Covid-19 vaccines by Ms Shemirani before. These claims are part of a wider problem with misinformation about vaccines. Bad information about vaccines could influence the decisions people make about their health. Uptake rates of the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine dropped sharply in the UK following now-discredited research linking the jab to autism in children, and this may have been responsible for outbreaks of measles in children ever since. Similarly, false claims about Covid-19 vaccines may have contributed to reduced uptake in certain communities. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)–which licences vaccines for use in the UK–told Full Fact that no vaccine would be approved in the UK unless it met stringent standards for safety, quality and effectiveness. Ms Shemirani made four specific claims in the post, which are not true. Full Fact approached Ms Shemirani for comment via social media, but we have not received a response at the time of writing. Honesty in public debate matters You can help us take action – and get our regular free email Sign up ### Children do not receive almost 100 vaccines Ms Shemirani claimed: “Children can now expect to Receive almost 100 vaccines on the Recommended schedule.” In general, children in the UK are recommended to have 18 doses of vaccines in the routine schedule by the time they’re 14—plus an annual dose of the flu vaccine for most school-age children. Some children with specific needs may also be offered others, such as Hepatitis B vaccination if born to a mother infected with the virus, or tuberculosis vaccination if living in an area with high rates of the disease. By our count, even a child receiving all the currently recommended routine vaccinations along with all the selectively offered ones, including annual doses of the flu vaccine from the age of six months, would get a maximum of 40 vaccine doses from the schedule at 17 years old. Children travelling abroad to certain countries may be advised to have additional vaccines for certain diseases but these are not offered routinely. Different countries have different vaccination schedules, which may include more doses, but Ms Shemirani is based in the UK so we have checked using UK figures. The NHS describes a dose of a vaccine against several diseases (such as the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine) as a single dose. ### Vaccines in the UK schedule meet MHRA safety standards Shemirani goes on to claim “No vaccine has ever been proven safe”. The MHRA told Full Fact that every vaccine in the UK schedule has been approved as meeting its safety standards. To take one example, the HPV vaccine was introduced in the late 2000s, since when more than 100 million people worldwide have had the jab. In the UK, it is recommended to start the two dose vaccination regime in children aged 12 to 13 years.The Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety “considers HPV vaccines to be extremely safe”. Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) and fainting episodes (syncope) were flagged in initial safety data, but rates of anaphylaxis have been found to be very low, at 1.7 cases per million doses, and syncope was established to be due to anxiety around the injection. Specific data on autoimmune diseases and risks in pregnancy also found no connection with the HPV vaccine, despite “unsubstantiated allegations” that it was linked to these conditions. Meanwhile the vaccine has helped to reduce risk of HPV transmission and this may be starting to reduce cervical cancer risk in countries with high uptake. ### Vaccines are effective Ms Shemirani’s claim is very broad, stating “No vaccine has ever been proven affective [sic]”. But assuming she meant “effective” we can again use one example of the many effective vaccines to show that it is false. The World Health Organisation estimates: “Immunization currently prevents 3.5-5 million deaths every year from diseases like diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, influenza and measles”. Poliomyelitis, or polio, is a viral infection that used to be common, which in the worst cases can cause permanent disabling paralysis and even death. However, there have been no cases of paralysis from polio caught in the UK since 1984 thanks to a vaccine that has been available since the 1950s. Decades of evidence involving hundreds of thousands of study participants has shown the polio vaccines to be effective. A global effort to eradicate the disease through vaccination has been almost completely successful, cutting reported wild cases from 350,000 in 1988 to 6 in 2021. Some cases of vaccine-derived polio have occurred recently. This is a mutated form of the virus that can spread when not enough people in a community are vaccinated. ### It’s not true that no two vaccines have ever been tested together for their efficacy The schedule of routine childhood vaccinations contains several that are given at the same time, all of which have been tested for their efficacy together. Ms Shemirani, however, claimed that “No two vaccines have ever been tested together for their efficacy”. An MHRA spokesperson told Full Fact “Any new vaccine added to the UK childhood immunisation schedule is assessed in combination with the existing vaccines that will be co-administered before it is authorised for use. “The immune response, an indicator of efficacy, is investigated during the clinical development programme.” The NHS also advised that the recent round of Covid-19 booster doses should be given alongside winter flu jabs. This followed a 2021 trial with 679 participants, in which immune responses for the flu and Pfizer or AstraZeneca Covid vaccines were found to be as good for both vaccines given together as when they were given separately. A systematic review of three trials (including the one above) also found that co-administration of flu and Covid vaccines didn’t generally reduce the immune response to either vaccine. One of the studies did find that the antibody levels generated after the Novavax Covid vaccine were slightly lower when it was given alongside a flu vaccine, but vaccine efficacy appeared to have been preserved.

ABC News News Home Fact Check Latest updatesAsk a question Share # Clive Palmer says WA\'s vaccine passport border restrictions are in breach of section 117 of the constitution. Is that correct? RMIT ABC Fact Check * Topic:Laws Tue 31 Aug 2021Tuesday 31 August 2021Tue 31 Aug 2021 at 3:38am ![\\'Clive](\\" cdn.net.au/41b1dfb9f6746a9696510e6c1be70508?impolicy=wcms_crop_resize&cropH=529&cropW=940&xPos=0&yPos=98&width=862&height=485\\"/) Display caption United Australia Party chairman Clive Palmer says WA\'s requirement that travellers from high or extreme risk states are in breach of section 117 of the constitution. (AAP: Dan Peled) abc.net.au/news/fact-check-clive-palmer-vaccine-passports-breach- constitution/100407330 Link copied ShareShare article ## The claim As the vaccine rollout gains pace, the national conversation is turning to the question of whether vaccines should be mandated in some contexts. In Western Australia, Premier Mark McGowan has beefed up the state\'s already hardline border policy by requiring all eligible returning travellers from NSW to be at least partially vaccinated against COVID-19. The move has prompted United Australia Party chairman Clive Palmer to announce he will launch a High Court challenge to WA\'s policy on the grounds that it is unconstitutional. \"Clive Palmer confirmed today that the actions [of] Premier Mark McGowan to introduce an interstate vaccination passport for people travelling to WA was in breach of section 117 of the Australian constitution,\" a press release from the UAP said. So, how does Mr Palmer\'s claim stack up? RMIT ABC Fact Check investigates. ## The verdict Mr Palmer\'s claim is doubtful.Experts told Fact Check that in order to mount a successful challenge to WA\'s border restrictions under section 117 of the constitution, Mr Palmer would need to demonstrate discrimination on the basis of state of residence. WA authorities told Fact Check the vaccine requirement applies equally to non- residents and residents of WA, creating a significant hurdle to proving a breach of section 117. Since announcing the new rule, Mr McGowan has referred explicitly to WA residents returning from NSW requiring proof of vaccination. Furthermore, experts told Fact Check that section 117 was not absolute in its application and would be subject to a so-called \"balancing test\", where the High Court would weigh up the rights of an individual against the social protections offered to residents of WA by measures designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19. In a previous constitutional challenge brought by Mr Palmer, which relied on section 92 of the constitution, the High Court ruled that WA\'s border closure laws complied with the constitution during \"a plague or epidemic\". ![\\"A](\\" cdn.net.au/c1e8d1135e67615098b2e76d5534c780?impolicy=wcms_crop_resize&cropH=1000&cropW=1498&xPos=1&yPos=0&width=862&height=575\\"/) WA\'s border restrictions apply not only to residents of other states, but to WA residents travelling from other states. (ABC News: Hugh Sando) ## What are the rules for entry into WA? WA has a \"controlled border\" policy which regulates entry according to where an interstate traveller has come from. On August 13, 2021, the government announced a \"new, strengthened risk matrix\" which upgraded the conditions imposed on travellers from \"high risk\" states and introduced an \"extreme risk\" category. As Mr Palmer noted, both these categories now require \"proof of receipt of at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, where eligible\". At the time of Mr Palmer\'s claim, NSW was declared \"high risk\". It has since been upgraded to \"extreme risk\". ## What does section 117 say? Section 117 of the constitution deals with \"rights of residents in states\". It says: \"A subject of the Queen, resident in any state, shall not be subject in any other state to any disability or discrimination which would not be equally applicable to him if he were a subject of the Queen resident in such other state.\" Associate professor of constitutional law at Monash University, Luke Beck, told Fact Check: \"In very simple terms, section 117 bans states from discriminating against residents of other states or imposing disabilities on residents of other states.\" Fact Check has previously examined whether state border closures designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 were in breach of section 117, after former foreign minister and high commissioner to the United Kingdom Alexander Downer published a tweet saying: \"I don\'t think an Australian state can legally close its borders to other Australians under section 117 of the constitution.\" ### Fact check: State border closures Photo shows alexander downer\'s claim is doubtful, with an orange asterisk![\\"alexander](\\" cdn.net.au/a56cd623c9195b740c55764d59326b3f?impolicy=wcms_crop_resize&cropH=529&cropW=939&xPos=0&yPos=96&width=862&height=485\\"/) As some states imposed border restrictions to curb the spread of coronavirus, former Liberal cabinet minister Alexander Downer took to Twitter to claim that closing state borders would be illegal under the constitution. RMIT ABC Fact Check investigates Fact Check found that claim to be doubtful. ## Mr Palmer\'s 2020 failed bid Mr Palmer has previously challenged the WA government in the High Court, alleging that the state\'s 2020 border closure in response to COVID-19 breached section 92 of the constitution. Section 92 in part says that \"trade, commerce, and intercourse among the states, whether by means of internal carriage or ocean navigation, shall be absolutely free\". The High Court ruled that the border closure sections of WA\'s Emergency Management Act complied with section 92 of the constitution \"in their application to an emergency constituted by the occurrence of a hazard in the nature of a plague or epidemic\". In relation to Mr Downer\'s claim about the constitution, experts told Fact Check the court has long accepted that there are valid exceptions to section 92, including where it is necessary to protect the people of a state from the risk of injury from inbound goods, animals and people. ## Determining discrimination under the constitution In his media release, Mr Palmer said the WA government\'s COVID-19 eradication strategy was unconstitutional because it restricted free movement of Australian citizens within Australia and created \"an island within an island\". He said the requirement for travellers from NSW to show proof they have had at least one vaccine dose discriminated against the people of NSW. Dr Beck said that should Mr Palmer\'s case proceed, the High Court would make a hypothetical comparison of how individuals would be treated depending on their state of residence. \"To work out whether there has been discrimination or the imposition of a disability, the High Court says you need to compare the plaintiff\'s actual situation with the hypothetical situation of the plaintiff having their home in the state being sued,\" he said in an email. ![\\"A](\\" cdn.net.au/b9edeb87324109559984f4401aa5dab4?impolicy=wcms_crop_resize&cropH=1997&cropW=3000&xPos=0&yPos=0&width=862&height=575\\"/) Experts say a successful challenge would need to prove WA\'s restrictions discriminate against residents of other states. (AAP: Richard Wainwright) \"If the WA ban applies equally to WA residents and interstate residents then there\'s no breach of section 117 because there\'s no discrimination against residents of other states.\" Similarly, law professor at the University of NSW George Williams told Fact Check discrimination on the basis of state would need to be established in order to prove a breach of section 117. \"It would need to be shown that people are being treated differently because of their state residence. If WA residents are being treated the same as residents from other states, it undercuts the argument,\" he said. Sydney barrister Daniel Reynolds told Fact Check it was \"far from clear that the direction in question does involve discrimination of the kind that section 117 prohibits\". But he added: \"The important question is whether, as a matter of substance rather than form, it nonetheless involves discrimination of the prohibited kind.\" Mr Reynolds said an argument could be made that WA\'s health directions disproportionately impacted residents attempting to return home, as opposed to those wishing to visit. However, he noted that section 117 was directed at \"discrimination of the opposite kind, that is, discrimination against out-of-state residents, not against local residents\". ## Does the new vaccine passport apply equally to WA residents and residents of other states? ![\\"A](\\" cdn.net.au/20fae4599ea5f73ac0c22ede8e190ab5?impolicy=wcms_crop_resize&cropH=622&cropW=829&xPos=0&yPos=249&width=862&height=647\\"/) The WA Department of Health says residents and non-residents entering the state would be treated equally with regards to vaccine passports. (Supplied) Senior lecturer at the University of Western Australia\'s Law School, Murray Wesson, told Fact Check that the WA Government\'s website showed border directions applied to all travellers equally. \"There is no exception for WA residents seeking to return to the state,\" he said. \"Travel from \'high\' risk and \'extreme\' risk jurisdictions is only possible with approval through the G2G pass system. All travellers from these jurisdictions must provide proof of receipt of at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine.\" Prior to NSW being upgraded from \"high\" to \"extreme\" risk, Mr McGowan said some guidelines had been adjusted to allow a right to return for some WA residents from NSW, but only if they met the relevant border conditions, including proof of vaccination. \"Western Australians who left the State for NSW this year and are seeking to return can apply to do so on compassionate grounds, subject to the following conditions: …. Have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine (provided that they are eligible) ….\" an August 19 Facebook post from Mr McGowan reads. The WA Department of Health confirmed in an email to Fact Check that there was no scenario in which a non-resident would be treated differently from a resident of WA in respect of the need to be vaccinated prior to entry. ## Applying a balancing test ![\\"Exterior](\\" cdn.net.au/bde49241d7a55267ce0fa31aa4624e46?impolicy=wcms_crop_resize&cropH=1997&cropW=3000&xPos=0&yPos=248&width=862&height=575\\"/) If the High Court heard Mr Palmer\'s case, it would apply a \"balancing test\", according to Amelia Simpson, of ANU\'s College of Law. (ABC News: Gregory Nelson) In a recent article in the UNSW Law Journal, Mr Reynolds described section 117 as \"a curiously under-litigated provision of the Australian Constitution\". He wrote that a landmark 1989 High Court case established that section 117 was \"not absolute in its operation\". For example, states may limit voting in state elections to their own residents. However, he said the court has not defined the limits of section 117. Associate professor at the Australian National University\'s College of Law, Amelia Simpson, told Fact Check that if discrimination on the basis of state was shown to be present, the court would apply an additional \"balancing test\" to establish whether the measure was \"proportionate to the attainment of a legitimate public policy objective\". Dr Simpson said the court would balance the individual\'s interest, in this case to not be discriminated against on the basis of state, against the public interest — to protect the WA population against the spread of COVID-19. She said Mr Palmer\'s previous litigation under the closely related section 92 of the constitution demonstrated the High Court\'s willingness to trust the judgment of state law-makers on matters relating to COVID-19. \"Australian Federal and High Court judges are comfortable taking expert health advice at face value and are inclined to defer to expert judgment on how to weigh the risks and benefits of Covid-related restrictions,\" she said. \"It would be very difficult to convince judges to second guess the reasonableness of those restrictions given the very serious risks presented by Covid-19.\" Mr Reynolds also said there was \"ample scope\" for WA to argue the health direction was a justifiable measure. ## What are Mr Palmer\'s prospects of success? Professor Williams said Mr Palmer\'s previous challenge showed the High Court was likely to rule in favour of upholding health orders in the context of a pandemic. \"[Mr] Palmer litigated these issues last year under section 92 of the constitution in the High Court and lost. The result demonstrates the difficulty of challenging border closures during a pandemic. The High Court is likely to see closures and restrictions as being reasonable to protect public health,\" he said. Dr Simpson said any challenge on the basis of section 117 where health orders applied equally to residents and non-residents of the WA was likely to be unsuccessful. \"If vaccine passports were instituted in WA in a way that burdened the state\'s own residents (wanting to leave and re-enter) as well as non- residents then I would expect any section 117 based challenge to fail,\" she said. Dr Beck said that even if a discrimination on the basis of state were to be established, it would not guarantee the success of Mr Palmer\'s case. \"Section 117 does not require states to treat residents of other states equally with their own residents in every situation,\" he said. \"A West Australian entering WA is \'returning home\', but a Queenslander entering WA is not \'returning home\'. There\'s a meaningful difference here that is likely to lead the High Court to rule that there is no breach of section 117,\" he said. Mr Reynolds said: \"It is impossible to be definitive about the merits of any challenge based on section 117 of the constitution, as the law is far from settled. \"If compelled to make a choice, I would back the state in this case. But you never know your luck in the High Court.\" **Principal researcher: Sonam Thomas** ## Sources * United Australia Party, press release, August 14, 2021 * RMIT ABC Fact Check, Fact Check: Is it illegal under the constitution for a state to close its borders to other Australians?, April 23, 2020 * WA Department of Health, COVID-19 coronavirus: Controlled border * WA Government, WA\'s controlled border arrangements strengthened, August 13, 2021 * WA Department of Health, COVID-19 coronavirus: Controlled border frequently asked questions * High Court of Australia, Palmer v Western Australia, February 24, 2021 * AUSTLII, Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act * Daniel Reynolds, UNSW Law Journal, Defining the limits of section 117 of the constitution, June 2021 * Mark McGowan, Facebook, August 13, 2021 ## Get a morning news briefing in your inbox Subscribe to our ABC NewsMail bringing you breaking news from overnight, plus a heads-up on the stories that will shape your day.

The application form states that the supermarket chain is seeking to fill 943 positions from entry to senior level. Applicants are required to pay a registration fee of Sh200 to paybill number 522522. The fee will be used to cater for a Quickmart Loyalty Card and training the successful applicants. Those who do not qualify will have their money refunded. A similar ad was shared in April 2019, and the retailer warned the public about the scam in a tweet dated April 20. This job ad is a variation of others that PesaCheck has debunked before, such as one claiming that supermarket chain Tuskys was hiring, another claiming that the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics was hiring staff for the upcoming national census, and also one claiming that the Kenya Revenue Authority was hiring. PesaCheck has looked into the claim that Quickmart Supermarket is hiring over 900 employees and finds this to be FALSE.

As crunch time in Congress approaches, Republicans are aggressively making the case that their tax bills will allow a broad swath of Americans to benefit. During a recent interview with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo, Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas -- the chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee -- said that \"70 percent of the tax relief goes to those families making less than 200,000.\" When we took a closer look, we found Brady’s statistic to be somewhat misleading. The Joint Committee on Taxation study Brady\'s office pointed us to an analysis of the House bill by the Joint Committee on Taxation, the nonpartisan office of Congress charged with analyzing the impacts of tax bills. The committee released breakdowns of how much various income ranges would see their taxes collectively increase or decrease over the next decade. Because one of the divisions between income groups is at $200,000, it’s straightforward to break down what share of the benefits accrue above and below that income level. Brady’s office pointed us to one chart in particular. It shows the breakdown of gains on the income tax side of the proposal. Those below the $200,000 threshold get 69 percent of the benefits, while those above $200,000 get 31 percent. ![](\\" That’s in line with what Brady said -- but the talking point is cherry-picked. First, the ratio of gains above and below $200,000 change over time. By 2025, households below $200,000 get 52 percent, and by 2027, they get 51 percent -- still a majority, but significantly below Brady’s 70 percent figure. The bigger issue concerns what kinds of income are counted in the chart Brady used. As we’ve found in a previous fact-check, the chart Brady used addresses just the personal income tax changes in the bill. However, the bill would not only change personal income taxes; it would also change how other types of taxes are levied, including corporate and estate taxes. \"A big part of the bill is slashing taxes on business income, which disproportionately affects high-income earners, as does eventually repealing estate tax,\" Len Burman, a co-founder of the Urban Institute-Brookings Institution Tax Policy Center, has told us. These taxes are not factored into the personal-taxes-only data that Brady cited, so the chart he used underplays the positive impact the bill as a whole would have on wealthy households. As it happens, the same Joint Committee on Taxation assessment does analyze all aspects of the bill. We calculated the percentage of the total benefits going to those above and below $200,000 in income and summarized them here: Year Percentage of gains going to incomes under $200,000 Percentage of gains going to incomes over $200,000 #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" Instagram_logo_2016.svg/322c808c00e73c217d17772ddd5a0eb5.jpg\\") ![](\\" Instagram_logo_2016.svg/8b142c91ebe468a84a192e6df2b7b994.jpg\\") Instagram posts stated on September 11, 2024 in an Instagram post \"Debate moderators made the false claim to Donald Trump that there is nowhere in the United States where abortion is legal up until birth.\" ![\\"true\\"](\\" false/33efdb6633e5e2fdc2d4e2f63383a1e0.jpg.\\") ![\\"false\\"](\\" false.jpg\\") By Jeff Cercone • September 13, 2024 2019 58 percent 42 percent 2021 63 percent 37 percent 2025 62 percent 37 percent 2027 50 percent 50 percent For each year, the percentages taken by the under-$200,000 households are lower than Brady’s 70 percent figure. But they are always a majority. An outside analysis Calculations from the Tax Policy Center show an even smaller share of benefits flowing to under-$200,000 households. That’s because the Joint Committee on Taxation does not include the benefits associated with eliminating the estate tax, and because the two groups use slightly different definitions of \"income.\" The Tax Policy Center found that households below $200,000 in income would get about 54 percent of the House bill’s benefits. That percentage would shrink to about 31 percent by 2027. Our ruling Brady said that in the House Republican bill, \"70 percent of the tax relief goes to those families making less than 200,000.\" That’s only accurate if you look at the individual income tax portions of the House bill. Once you factor in tax changes related to business income, which tend to benefit wealthier taxpayers, the share earned by those under $200,000 is actually 58 percent in 2019, falling to 50 percent in 2027. And if you factor in the impact of the estate tax, it would be as low as 54 percent initially and 31 percent by 2027. We rate the statement Half True.

DATA ROUNDUP 48 Months of Modi Government, Fact Check, Government of India, Health, India, Stories # Fact Check: Has Accessibility for PwDs improved in the last four years? 0 By Aila Bandagi Kandlakunta on October 17, 2018 * A A A Twitter Facebook Reddit > _Another infographic of the government makes certain claims about the > Accessible India Campaign. How many of these claims are true?_ [orc] Making claims about accessibility in India, the government has published an infographic on the 48 months website. The information provided makes claims about the interventions and achievements in terms of making India more accessible for Persons with Disabilities (PwDs). Here is a fact check of the four claims made in the following infographic. ![\\"Accessibility](\\" content/uploads//2018/10/Accessibility-for-PwDs_infographics-1.png\\") What is the Accessible India campaign? The Prime Minister launched Accessible India Campaign (AIC) in December 2015, for creating universal accessibility for Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) in Built Environment, Transport, and Information & Communication Technology (ICT) ecosystem. The campaign is based on the principles of the Social Model of Disability, that disability is caused by the way society is organized, and not the person’s limitations and impairments. The Campaign’s vision is to build an inclusive society in which equal opportunities are provided for the growth and development of PwDs so that they can lead productive, safe and dignified lives. Have government buildings been made accessible? The first claim of the government is that they are converting at least 50% of all the government buildings in the national capital and all state capitals ‘fully accessible’. According to the annual report of the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (DEPwD) under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, the phase II target of the accessible India mission is ‘making 50% of all the government buildings of NCT and all the State capitals fully accessible by December 2018.’ According to the same report, this target is to be reached and implemented by the state governments with their own funds. According to the answer provided in the Lok Sabha in March 2018, of the central government buildings, 75 central government buildings were identified by the CPWD (Central Public Works Department) in 39 cities of which, retrofitting in 58 buildings in 27 cities have been completed. 123 buildings have been identified for phase II (to be completed by July 2018) and 21 more for phase III (to be completed by July 2019). These numbers do not necessarily add up to 50% of all government buildings in the National Capital Territory (NCT) and in all state capitals since the number of government buildings in not known. > Claim: Converting at least 50% of all the government buildings in the > national capital and all state capitals fully accessible. > > Fact: 58 out of the 75 selected central government buildings in 39 cities > have been retrofitted as of March 2018. Since the claim is talking about a > future target and not an achievement, it remains UNVERIFIED What is the Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan? The second claim is that the Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan has been launched by the government on 3rd December 2015 to provide dignity to Divyangs. This is the same as the accessible India campaign described above. > Claim: Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan has been launched by the government on 3rd > December 2015 to provide dignity to divyangs. > > Fact: Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan is the same as the accessible India campaign. > Hence, the claim is TRUE. How have aids and assistive devices been distributed? The third claim is that special camps have been organized for distribution of aids and assistive devices to 8 lakh persons with disabilities. The DEPwD is implementing different schemes. The Scheme of Assistance to Disabled Persons for purchase/fitting of aids/appliances (ADIP) is responsible for the distribution of aids and assistive devices. Special camps are conducted based on the proposals received from Members of Parliament and other dignitaries under ADIP Scheme. According to the annual report (2017-18) of the DEPwD, 275 Mega Camps/Special Camps were organized covering 27 States for distribution of aids and assistive devices under the ADIP Scheme at the cost of about Rs.237.67 crore reaching 3.01 lakh beneficiaries. However, under ADIP Scheme in general, approximately 9.35 lakh beneficiaries were provided aids & assistive devices through 6073 camps during the last 4 years. Even during the UPA government, an average of 2.5 lakh beneficiaries per year were provided with aids & assistive devices under the ADIP as per an answer in the Lok Sabha. > Claim: Special camps have been organized for distribution of aids and > assistive devices to 8 lakh persons with disabilities. > > Fact: 275 Mega Camps/Special Camps were organized benefitting 3.01 lakh > Divyangjans during the last four years. The total number of beneficiaries of > the ADIP program in the last four years is more than 9 lakh, but the number > of beneficiaries of special camps is only 3.01 lakh. Hence, the claim is > FALSE. It also has to be noted that the average number of beneficiaries per > year under this scheme during the UPA was also around 2.5 lakh, which has > not changed during the current government. How many access audits have been conducted? The final claim is that access audit of 1662 important buildings in 50 cities has been completed till date. The manner & form of an audit report can be understood from one such report submitted for the accessible India campaign. The report says that, ‘Access Audit has been undertaken to appraise defined areas of the existing buildings/campus to access the extent of accessibility to services and facilities and propose the extent of works required to improve the current facilities in accordance with the definitions of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. The audit takes into account the needs of people with mobility impairments (including wheelchair users) and sensory impairments. The audit will identify physical barriers to access against pre-determined criteria.’ The audit report details the availability of various things like ramps etc. It also has recommendations to be implemented to make the building accessible. According to the annual report (2017-18) of the DEPwD, 1662 access audit reports were submitted to the State Nodal Officers. Corroborating this is the answer provided in the Lok Sabha, which says that ‘access audits of 1662 buildings in 50 cities completed by auditors’. > Claim: Access audit of 1662 important buildings in 50 cities has been > completed till date. > > Fact: Access audits of 1662 buildings in 50 cities completed by auditors. > Hence, the claim is TRUE.

Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.) touted the success of two bills that aimed to cut down on online sex trafficking. The numbers tell a more complicated story. (Video: Elyse Samuels, Taylor Turner/The Washington Post) ![\\"\\"](\\" apps/imrs.php?src= authors/washpost/44f31222-8f22-4a07-b0eb-c77cbf11540a.png&h=196&w=196\\"/) Analysis by Glenn Kessler August 20, 2018 at 3:00 a.m. EDT “We have shut down nearly 90 percent of the online sex-trafficking business and ads.” — Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.), in a video released by the House Judiciary Committee, July 20, 2018 In April, President Trump signed into law a bill, often known under the inelegant name of FOSTA-SESTA, that purportedly aims to cut down on online sex trafficking. (There was a House bill known as FOSTA, the Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act, and a Senate bill, SESTA, the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act. Rather than try to merge them, Congress simply added much of the SESTA language to FOSTA.) In a self-congratulatory video posted on July 20 by the Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee, Wagner, the key sponsor of FOSTA, made a claim that caught our attention: “We have shut down nearly 90 percent of the online sex trafficking business and ads.” Advertisement Story continues below advertisement This seems a data point worth exploring, but it’s taken some time to come up with the numbers. Let’s explore. ### The Facts Regular readers of the Fact Checker may recall that in 2015 we debunked several faulty or misleading claims about sex trafficking made by members of Congress, including Wagner. Sex trafficking is a horrific crime, but real data is sparse and often exaggerated. Wagner, for instance, had claimed that the Justice Department estimated that 300,000 girls in the United States were at risk of being sex trafficked. But it turned out it was not a Justice Department figure but a number plucked out of a stale, decades-old study that had not been peer-reviewed and was largely discredited. Story continues below advertisement We were pleased when many lawmakers stopped using such phony statistics — and anti-trafficking organizations scrubbed them from their websites. Advertisement A 2016 study funded by the Justice Department concluded that the total number of juveniles in the sex trade in the United States was about 9,000 to 10,000. The study also found that only about 15 percent of the children relied on pimps and that the average age of entry into the sex trade was 15.8 years. ✅ Follow Fact-checking politicians Follow Nevertheless, FOSTA-SESTA swept through Congress with overwhelming support on the basis of concerns that the Internet allows the sex trade to flourish in secret, in contrast to street corners. The law gave federal and state prosecutors new tools to go after websites on which sex is sold and also made it easier for trafficking victims to file lawsuits. Story continues below advertisement Moreover, the law targeted not just sex trafficking but all consensual sex work by adding an exception to Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act. Before passage of FOSTA-SESTA, platforms and Internet service providers were not held responsible for user-generated content, but the law changed that so that they would be held responsible for ads for sex work. Advertisement Previously, sex-work websites such as Backpage would be able to cite Section 230 to get lawsuits dismissed. Most of the ads on Backpage were for consensual sex work, but a Senate investigation turned up evidence that Backpage knowingly facilitated the underage sex business by editing ads posted in its “adult services” section to eliminate terms such as “Lolita” and “Little girl.” Unrelated to the passage of FOSTA-SESTA, federal prosecutors on April 6 seized Backpage and shut it down, announcing that the chief executive had pleaded guilty to charges of money laundering and conspiracy to facilitate prostitution. At least initially, sex workers such as escorts, sensual-massage therapists and dominatrixes said the closure of Backpage meant a significant loss of income and made the business less safe because it was harder for them to vet potential clients. Story continues below advertisement Now let’s turn to Wagner’s quote: “We have shut down nearly 90 percent of the online sex-trafficking business and ads.\" Advertisement When asked for evidence, Wagner’s office sent a chart that tracked all sex- related advertising, saying that it showed weekly global ad volume dropped 87 percent from January to April. The chart was generated through a system called Memex, developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). DARPA Memex has since evolved into Tellfinder, managed by Uncharted Software. But there are some problems. The biggest drop in ads came after the shutdown of Backpage, which came even before Trump signed FOSTA-SESTA into law. Wagner’s staff noted that a drop also took place after the laws achieved final passage in Congress on March 21, prompting sex-oriented websites such as CityVibe and the Erotic Review to begin to shut down in the United States. Story continues below advertisement “The DOJ’s shutdown of Backpage certainly contributed to these numbers,” a Wagner aide said. “FOSTA also serves as a deterrent to other websites that may consider entering this space.” Advertisement Okay, but what happened after April? Wagner’s staff refused to share the data, so we asked first DARPA and then Uncharted Software for the information. Under Tellfinder, all sex-trade ads globally are tracked, counting unique URLs observed by the search engine. Often at the beginning the month there are spikes that indicate when the search engines first observes an ad because many of the websites don’t publish the date when an ad is posted. Well, it turns out that after that initial drop, advertising for the sex trade appears to have rebounded, such as on new websites that mimic Backpage with names like “Bedpage.” Story continues below advertisement Worldwide ads had a daily average of about 105,000 when FOSTA-SESTA passed on March 21 and had dropped 28 percent by the time Backpage was closed on April 5. It then plunged another 75 percent and reached a low of 19,456 on April 17, for a total decline of about 82 percent. Advertisement But on the day the Judiciary Committee posted the video, sex-trade ads were back at about 50 percent of the daily volume before the law had passed; as of Aug. 11, they were at almost 75 percent. (Watch the video above.) “The volume of ads dropped dramatically after the shutdown of Backpage but has been climbing since,” said Chris Dickson, director of research engineering at Uncharted. “There is now a volume approaching what we observed before.” Story continues below advertisement However, he added, “it’s an open question as to whether the websites now have gotten much better at making it look like they have a lot of content or if the advertising really is back to where it was. It’s likely somewhere in between, but it’s too soon to definitively answer this.” There is little doubt that the law has had an impact in other ways. Sites such as Reddit, Craiglist and Skype began to change their terms of service and ban sex workers from their platforms. But other sites, such as Switter, have sprung up for U.S. sex workers, according to USA Today. Switter’s website operates from countries where sex work is legal, thus avoiding U.S. restrictions, and as of late June, Switter had more than 100,000 members on its site. Advertisement Wagner, in the Judiciary Committee video, celebrated a decline of “sex- trafficking business and ads” but as we noted, the metric she is using is advertising for all sex work. The actual impact on “sex trafficking” is unknown. Story continues below advertisement In a House floor speech in July, Wagner made it clear she equates sex work with sex trafficking. “Signing FOSTA into law has decimated the online sex trade that fuels human trafficking in America,” she said. “Scores of major websites that promoted sex trafficking and prostitution have shut down.” ### The Pinocchio Test Wagner may be sincere in her belief that sex work in general fuels human trafficking but it’s a bit of stretch to say a 90 percent decline in sex-trade ads means there is a 90 percent decline in the sex-trafficking business. There’s really no way to be sure, and it’s misleading to suggest otherwise. Advertisement In any case, the 90 percent drop in sex-work ads was a one-time event, sparked mostly by the demise of Backpage, not the FOSTA-SESTA law. By the time the Judiciary Committee video was released, sex-work advertising had begun to rebound — and it keeps going up, despite the law. Wagner should not seize on a single, stale data point to tout the effectiveness of the law.

The post which was published on October 20, 2019, is captioned, “another tragic accident has happened at the Likoni Channel.” The post comes in the wake of the Likoni Channel accident on September 29 where a vehicle aboard the MV Harambee ferry slipped into the Indian Ocean with two occupants on board. The vehicle was retrieved on October 11 after a 13-day recovery exercise. A reverse image search shows that the photo was shared on Getty Images dated January 26, 2013 and credited to AFP. The photo was taken after a truck lost control and rammed into a ferry at the Likoni Channel. The vehicle’s brakes failed as it was descending the ramp, killing 11 people and injuring more than 20 others. PesaCheck has looked into the claim that an image shared on Facebook from the Likoni Ferry shows a recent accident in the Likoni Channel and finds it to be FALSE.

(AP) By Aidan Cornue October 24, 2023 # Petition critical of Joe Manchin exaggerates number of W.Va. fossil fuel jobs at risk #### If Your Time is short * Estimates suggest there aren’t even 100,000 fossil fuel jobs in West Virginia today, meaning the notion that so many jobs would be lost in the state is mathematically impossible. * This assertion also assumes West Virginia doesn’t gain any renewable energy jobs as a result of the transition away from fossil fuels. * Read more about PolitiFact’s fact-checking process and rating system. See the sources for this fact-check In 2024, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., is up for reelection. If he runs again, he faces an uphill challenge as a Democrat running in what has become a solidly Republican state. Already, term-limited Gov. Jim Justice is running in the Republican primary, as is U.S. Rep. Alex Mooney. One Nation, a conservative group that has been involved in politics for several election cycles but does not disclose its donors, targeted Manchin in a petition on its website, calling attention to his vote in favor of the Inflation Reduction Act. As PolitiFact has noted, the Inflation Reduction Act includes a green energy package costing $369 billion over 10 years. It includes tax credits to boost investment in solar, wind, hydropower and other renewable energy. Such provisions have attracted opposition from oil and natural gas producers, including some in West Virginia, who say it puts their industries at a disadvantage. In the petition, One Nation wrote: \"West Virginia’s way of life depends on coal jobs. But the purpose of the climate provisions in President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, supported by Senator Joe Manchin \"was to drive coal plants ... out of business.\" Senator Manchin’s support for the IRA could cost West Virginia 100,000 fossil fuel jobs! And what did Senator Manchin get? A pen. Tell Senator Manchin to stop writing off West Virginia JOBS and supporting Biden’s Liberal Climate policy. Sign the Petition below!\" Is the petition correct that the Inflation Reduction Act \"could cost West Virginia 100,000 fossil fuel jobs\"? We found that it’s possible some jobs could be lost in the transition to non- fossil fuel energy, but the 100,000 figure for West Virginia job losses is exaggerated. One Nation did not respond to inquiries for this article. Running the numbers In 2019, PolitiFact West Virginia looked at how many oil and gas jobs West Virginia had. We found that the answer was complicated, but no estimate for oil and gas jobs came close to 100,000. In 2021, the American Petroleum Institute, an oil and gas industry association, published the most recent version of a report analyzing the oil and gas industry’s U.S. economic impact. It found that West Virginia had 32,300 workers directly employed in the oil and gas industry, and that the sector supported a combined 82,000 jobs directly and indirectly. The indirect jobs included jobs that provided goods or services to the industry, as well as \"induced\" jobs, which were supported by expenditures by people employed within oil and natural gas industries. As we reported in 2019, it’s important to note that this data comes from the industry itself, rather than an independent arbiter. Official government data shows a far smaller number of jobs. The federal Bureau of Labor Statistics found 1,904 jobs in oil and gas extraction in West Virginia at the end of first quarter 2023. That’s down from a peak of more than 2,900 in several quarters of 2014 and 2015. #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" ![](\\" Americans for Prosperity Action stated on September 4, 2024 in a Meta ad The Inflation Reduction Act, which Rep. Elissa Slotkin supported, “drove inflation higher.” ![\\"true\\"](\\" false/33efdb6633e5e2fdc2d4e2f63383a1e0.jpg.\\") ![\\"false\\"](\\" false.jpg\\") By Caleb McCullough • September 26, 2024 The Bureau of Labor Statistics found an additional 2,251 workers engaged in \"support activities for oil and gas operations,\" down from nearly 4,600 in 2014. Together, that works out to 4,155 workers in West Virginia for these two categories. Adding in roughly 22,000 jobs in coal mining, that totals a bit over 26,000 jobs. Experts in employment data had a couple of explanations for the differences between the two analyses. The petroleum institute told PolitiFact West Virginia in 2019 that the official federal data excludes contractors and sole proprietorships and partnerships, which play a significant role in the oil and gas extraction sector. Experts also said that professional services -- such as lawyers reviewing lease agreements for drilling -- wouldn’t necessarily be captured in the bureau’s data. Also, the institute’s study includes several industry sectors that are outside of the pure oil and gas extraction activities captured in the bureau’s data. The report lists such categories as oil and gas pipeline construction, petroleum refining, types of asphalt manufacturing and gas stations. The inclusion of gas stations may go the furthest to explain the divergence between the data. The institute’s report didn’t specify how many of the oil and gas jobs in West Virginia come from gas stations, but in its nationwide data, gas stations accounted for about 39% of all the jobs it tallied in the oil and gas sector. So including gas station jobs amplifies the institute’s job numbers. Finally, we looked at the U.S. Energy and Employment Report, a periodic study published most recently this year by the Energy Department. It found 8,972 West Virginia jobs in the oil and gas sector and 16,955 in the coal sector, for a total of 25,927 fossil fuel jobs. In all, the three employment analyses suggest that the number of direct fossil fuel jobs in West Virginia is somewhere between 25,000 and 55,000. Meanwhile, the petition assumes that every single fossil fuel job in the state would be lost, and that no jobs would be gained in the renewable energy sector after the Inflation Reduction Act’s passage. We couldn’t find specific projections for West Virginia, but nationally, the Energy Futures Initiative, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank headed by Ernest Moniz, the Energy Secretary under former President Barack Obama, projects a net gain of 1.46 million jobs by 2030 due to the law’s policy changes. Our ruling One Nation said Manchin’s \"support for the (Inflation Reduction Act) could cost West Virginia 100,000 fossil fuel jobs.\" No one knows how many jobs could be lost in West Virginia during the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, but the estimates suggest there aren’t even 100,000 fossil fuel jobs in West Virginia today, making the claim mathematically impossible. This assertion also assumes West Virginia doesn’t gain any renewable energy jobs. We rate the statement Mostly False. #### Read About Our Process The Principles of the Truth-O-Meter ### Our Sources One Nation, petition, accessed Sept. 4, 2023 American Petroleum Institute, \"Impacts of the oil and natural gas industry on the US Economy in 2019,\" July 2021 Bureau of Labor Statistics, \"All Employees in Private NAICS 211 Oil and gas extraction for All establishment sizes in West Virginia,\" accessed Oct. 21, 2023 Bureau of Labor Statistics, \"All Employees in Private NAICS 213112 Support activities for oil and gas operations for All establishment sizes in West Virginia,\" accessed Oct. 21, 2023 Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, \"All employees: mining and logging in West Virginia,\" accessed Oct. 21, 2023 Energy Department, U.S. energy and employment report, 2023, West Virginia, accessed Sept. 26, 2023 Energy Futures Initiative, \"Inflation Reduction Act analysis: key findings on workforce demand,\" January 2023 Sen.

(Tampa Bay Times) ![\\"Allison](\\" By Allison Graves November 8, 2017 # Adam Putnam right about the demand for more nurses in Florida In the Florida governor’s race, both Republicans and Democrats have highlighted an issue facing the Sunshine State: a shortage of nurses. For months now, Republican Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam has highlighted a surprising factoid about Florida’s nursing workforce, often while emphasizing the importance of trade education and career training outside of a four-year bachelor’s degree. \"The No. 1 job vacancy in Florida every month for seven years has been nursing,\" Putnam said Oct. 31 during a campaign stop at Whitey\'s Fish Camp in Fleming Island. Democratic Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum (and Putnam’s possible opponent) has also mentioned a nursing shortage in the state, so we wanted to take a look at it. We found that Putnam’s claim is backed up by state data, and experts in Florida agreed that the shortage of nurses has been a problem since the 1990s. Nurses (most) wanted Data from the Department of Economic Opportunity shows that registered nurses have consistently topped the lists of monthly online job advertisements and annual job openings. Department spokeswoman Karen Smith told PolitiFact Florida the top online job advertisement in Florida has been registered nurses every month for the past seven years. We asked for a sample of that data and got a year’s worth of monthly reports for Help Wanted OnLine, a tool used by the Department to measure real-time labor demand. These reports are posted on the DEO’s site and updated monthly. The most recent month of data (October 2017) shows there were 13,619 online ads placed for registered nurses. The second-most popular ads sought retail salespersons at 7,207 postings, followed by \"first-line supervisors\" for retail sales workers with 6,467 ads. Putnam has also talked about the need for truck drivers, which place fourth for online job ads. In addition, Florida\'s Statewide Demand Occupations List shows that registered nurses have consistently ranked as the most in-demand occupation since at least 2011. #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" ![](\\" Jeffrey Barke stated on August 23, 2024 in an Instagram post Food and Drug Administration approval for updated COVID-19 vaccines requires a public health emergency declaration. ![\\"true\\"](\\" false/33efdb6633e5e2fdc2d4e2f63383a1e0.jpg.\\") ![\\"false\\"](\\" false.jpg\\") By Jeff Cercone • August 27, 2024 Mary Lou Brunell is the executive director of the Florida Center for Nursing, which was set up in 2001 by the Florida Legislature to address the nursing shortages in the state. In recent years, she said the problem has been exacerbated by a lack of students studying to become nurses, a shortage of faculty teaching future students, and an aging workforce and state population. \"You put all those pieces together, and it’s just not getting better,\" said Dianne Morrison-Beedy, the former dean at the University of South Florida College of Nursing. The nursing workforce is also aging. According to a 2017 report from the Florida Center for Nursing, 44 percent of registered nurses are over the age of 50 and expected to retire in the next 5 to 10 years. The economic turnaround in the late 2000s also decreased the number of nurses in the workforce. When the economy plummeted in 2008, many people trained in nursing but not working returned to their job or delayed retirement. As the economy improved, there were once again more vacancies because those nurses returned home or retired. Brunell also said she’s also concerned about the need for licensed practical nurses, which work under the guidance of registered nurses or physicians. She said there’s been an increase in home care facilities, which is why she predicts more licensed practical nurses (LPNs) will be needed in the future. Morrison-Beedy said that in order to fix the problem, the focus has to be on the how to develop faculty and support for people who want to become nurses. In Florida, becoming a registered nurse requires either a two-year associate degree or a bachelor’s of science degree in nursing. \"We need more students in the baccalaureate program, we need to provide financial support for students to go to school, and in order to do that we have to have enough faculty to teach those students,\" she said. \"We want the best educated and the best kind of nurses because that’s where we’ll see better outcomes.\" Our ruling Putnam said the No. 1 job vacancy in Florida every month for seven years has been nursing. He’s right. The top online job advertisement in Florida has been registered nurses every month for the past seven years. Experts agreed that the shortage has been an issue for awhile in Florida.

Tate has often been \"mired in controversy\" and \"heavily criticised for his \'misogynistic\' views,\" according to the Independent. He has been banned from multiple social media platforms. Advertisement: The tweets from both parties were real and authentic. Tate tweeted from his Twitter Blue verified account and Thunberg tweeted from her legacy verified account. Both have millions of followers. \"Hello @GretaThunberg,\" Tate tweeted on Dec. 27. \"I have 33 cars. My Bugatti has a w16 8.0L quad turbo. My TWO Ferrari 812 competizione have 6.5L v12s. This is just the start. Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions.\" Thunberg replied the next day: \"yes, please do enlighten me. email me at [email protected].\" Advertisement: The pair of tweets had racked up more than 80 million impressions as of this writing. Thunberg\'s reply alone had earned over a million likes. Thunberg, who was named Time magazine\'s youngest-ever Person of the Year in 2019, became an activist in 2018 at the age of 15, by demonstrating outside the Swedish Parliament for stronger action against climate change. The resulting publicity made her an international figurehead for the environmental movement, and also a target of political hatred.

Shortly following Donald Trump’s win, stories about Harambe winning thousands of votes appeared on social media, fueling funny remarks that the gorrilla spoiled the election. For those of you who don’t know — Harambe, a silverback gorilla, was controversially killed at the Cincinnati Zoo in May after a young boy climbed into his enclosure. Harambe’s death sparked thousands of social media posts or memes memorializing his death. \"The Legend Of Harambe Continues As The Dead Gorilla Received Over 15,000 Votes For President,\" reads a Nov. 9 headline from Coed, an online entertainment magazine. A post from 9GAG got over 79,000 reactions on Facebook.

Write-in votes for Harambe would be treated like provisional or absentee ballots, meaning they wouldn’t be counted until after all the other votes, which takes weeks. We’re still counting votes in California, for instance. Seeing as these Harambe stories popped up immediately after the election, there’s no way they were based on real data. Plus, every state decides on their own requirements for write-in candidates, so not all votes for Harambe would count depending on the state. More than 30 states require a write-in candidate to file paperwork in order to be an official candidate and at least eight states don’t even allow write-in candidates. The remaining states have no-filing requirements. How many of these write-in votes actually get counted? Well, in 2012, 136,040 write-in votes were counted, which is .11-percent of the total votes, according to The Washington Post. Our ruling The day after the presidential election, bloggers took to social media to share stories claiming Harambe received thousands of votes in this year’s presidential election. The claims are a hoax. Most of those stories were written the day after the election, and any write- in votes for Harambe wouldn’t have been counted. Moreover, more than half of states require write-in candidates file paperwork in advance of the election, while another nine don’t even permit write-in candidates.

Lo explicamos. Este archivo de video no se puede reproducir.(Código de Error: 102630) ![\\"\\"](\\" ¿Por qué hay miles de puestos vacantes y al mismo tiempo miles de desempleados? 03:34 Jul. 21, 2021, 11:15 PM GMT+5:30 / Actualizado Oct. 7, 2021, 1:46 AM GMT+5:30 / Fuente: Telemundo _*__Si quiere recibir nuestros artículos de T Verifica o enviarnos temas sobre los que tenga dudas para que los verifiquemos, comuníquese con nosotros vía WhatsApp_ _haciendo click en este enlace._ Por Louis Jacobson - Politifact Cuando la Oficina de Estadísticas Laborales anunció que Estados Unidos había ganado 850,000 puestos de trabajo en junio, el presidente, Joe Biden, subió a un podio en la Casa Blanca para presumir de ese logro. \"Buenos días a todos...¡es un buen día!\", dijo Biden el 2 de julio. \"Mientras nos preparamos para celebrar el Día de la Independencia, las noticias laborales de hoy nos traen algo más para celebrar: esta mañana nos enteramos de que, en junio, nuestra economía creó 850,000 puestos de trabajo\". **[ Aunque los salarios aumentaron en junio, la tasa de desempleo también creció]** \"Hemos creado más de 3 millones de empleos desde que asumí el cargo, más puestos de trabajo de los que se han creado en los primeros cinco meses de cualquier presidencia en la historia moderna, gracias al increíble trabajo de todo el equipo\", agregó el presidente. Las afirmaciones de los presidentes sobre la creación de empleo durante sus mandatos pueden ser problemáticas y exageradas. Veamos cómo le va a Biden en este caso. **Lo que muestran los números** Biden tiene razón en cuanto a los números. Pero **omite información de contexto importante**. Este archivo de video no se puede reproducir.(Código de Error: 102630) ![\\"\\"](\\" Así cambió el mercado laboral en Estados Unidos tras la pandemia 01:37 Los datos oficiales del Gobierno muestran que entre enero de 2021, cuando Biden asumió el cargo, y junio, el número de estadounidenses empleados pasó de 142,7 millones a 145,8 millones, es decir, una ganancia de poco más de 3 millones de empleos. En términos numéricos, esa es la mayor ganancia de empleo en períodos similares entre todos los presidentes electos de Estados Unidos posterior a la Segunda Guerra Mundial. (Esta comparación deja fuera a Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson y Gerald Ford, quienes asumieron el cargo sin ser electos). El competidor más cercano a Biden fue Jimmy Carter (1977-1981), que logró un aumento de 1,8 millones de empleos a meses de su toma de posesión. ![\\"Empleos](\\" Telemundo _Varias advertencias_ La afirmación de Biden omite al menos cuatro aspectos importantes del contexto histórico. **Primero, usar números brutos frente a porcentajes**. Al elegir resaltar el número real de empleos que ganó, Biden tiene una ventaja en comparación con presidentes anteriores. La población de Estados Unidos ha crecido, y por lo tanto aumentó la fuerza laboral. Una métrica más justa de comparación es la cantidad de empleos ganados dividida entre el nivel inicial de trabajos cuando el presidente asumió el cargo. **Según esta métrica, Biden obtiene un buen puntaje, pero no es el número uno**. Esa distinción es para Carter, cuya administración vio ganancias laborales del 2.2%, en comparación con el 2.1% de Biden. ![\\"Porcentaje](\\" Telemundo **Comparación con el nivel pre-pandémico**. La economía de Estados Unidos todavía tiene casi 6,8 millones de empleos menos que en el punto más alto antes de la pandemia del COVID-19. En junio de 2021 registró 145.8 millones de empleos, frente a los 152.5 millones que tenía en febrero de 2020. **[La bolsa se desploma ante el repunte del COVID-19]** Dicho de otra manera, si las ganancias de junio se pudieran replicar cada mes, se necesitaría hasta febrero de 2022 para recuperar todos los trabajos previos a la pandemia (dejando de lado los aumentos en la población). Dada la gravedad de la recesión por la pandemia del coronavirus, eso sería un repunte significativo, pero es algo que aún no ha sucedido. ![\\"Empleos](\\" Telemundo Cuestión del momento. Aunque Bien asumió el cargo durante una recesión y una pandemia mundial, lo hizo cuando la economía ya estaba en alza. La mayoría de los presidentes, aparte de Barack Obama, quien asumió el cargo durante una recesión que iba de mal a peor, ingresaron a la Casa Blanca con una economía en crecimiento. Pero, el momento exacto de su toma de posesión puede jugar un papel importante en cómo transcurren los primeros meses de un presidente, por lo que **la comparación de Biden con sus predecesores no es realmente una comparación de manzanas con manzanas**. **[Los precios sufren su mayor subida desde 2008 con la demanda de consumidores disparando la inflación]** ¿Quién recibe el crédito? Los expertos siempre advierten que un presidente no es todopoderoso en asuntos económicos, ya que hay muchos factores que escapan a su control –desde el suministro internacional de petróleo hasta los cambios en la tecnología y la demografía– que pueden moldear la salud de la economía estadounidense. Dicho esto, **los expertos sí creen que Biden merece algo de crédito por las ganancias laborales durante su mandato** , dado el aumento en las vacunas contra el coronavirus y la aprobación de su Plan de Rescate Estadounidense de 1.9 billones de dólares, que proporcionó ayuda y alivio económico para el coronavirus. Para este artículo, la Casa Blanca no respondió a nuestras consultas. **Nuestro veredicto** Biden dijo: \"Hemos creado más de 3 millones de puestos de trabajo desde que asumí el cargo, más puestos de trabajo de los que se han creado en los primeros cinco meses de cualquier presidencia en la historia moderna\". ![\\"Una](\\" tienda Nordstrom en Coral Gables, Florida, buscaba empleados el 21 de mayo del 2021. Las cifras de trabajo en EE.UU. han mejorado, per aún no alcanzan los niveles registrados antes de la pandemia de COVID-19. Marta Lavandier/AP Biden tiene razón en los números y en cómo se comparan con sus predecesores recientes en la Oficina Oval. Sin embargo, su afirmación pasa por alto el hecho de que la economía de Estados Unidos está casi 6.8 millones de puestos de trabajo por debajo de su pico antes de la pandemia. Además, comparar presidentes como lo hizo Biden es muy sensible a las condiciones económicas en el momento de su toma de posesión. Aunque Biden asumió el cargo durante una profunda recesión, lo hizo en la fase ascendente de la economía, una situación de la que no todos los presidentes se han beneficiado. Por lo tanto, calificamos su afirmación como engañosa. * Opciones de anuncios * Política de Privacidad * Aviso de Cookies * Aviso de California * Terminos de Servicio * Sobre Telemundo * Accesibilidad * Información Corporativa * Advertise with Us * SERVICIOS DE SUBTÍTULOS * Política de Devolución de Shop Telemundo * Servicio al Cliente de Shop Telemundo * Preguntas Frecuentes de Shop Telemundo * Términos de Servicio de Shop Telemundo * Series y novelas turcas en español * Series y novelas colombianas * Series y novelas mexicanas * Serie turca La Familia (Aile) * Sed de Venganza * Premios Billboard de la Música Latina 2024 * Telemundo App * Oportunidades Laborales A Division of NBCUniversal | NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises © 2024 TELEMUNDO. ![](\\" ![\\"Logotipo](\\" bc43-cbca0284a92d/NBCU_logo.png\\"/) ## Aviso acerca de cookies Este aviso acerca de cookies (“Aviso”) explica cómo NBCUniversal y sus filiales (“NBCUniversal” o “nosotros”), junto con nuestros socios, incluidos anunciantes y proveedores, utilizan cookies y tecnologías de seguimiento similares cuando usted utiliza nuestros sitios web, aplicaciones, tales como juegos, TV interactiva, asistentes activados por voz y otros servicios que se vinculan con esta política, así como los dispositivos conectados, incluidos los que se utilizan en nuestros parques temáticos (“Servicios”).

ASSESSMENT: The statements about the creation of the new EU migration pact are incorrect. Because so far there isn't even a public draft of it planned pact for migration and asylum. Neither was he said goodbye It is true that specialist committees of the EU Parliament were not involved. FACTS: The EU Commission has approved the long-announced pact for Migration and asylum postponed several times. So far there is no official one draft, let alone an adopted version. At the request of the The EU Commission informed the German Press Agency on September 9th that The pact is to be presented in September 2020, without an exact date to name. Without a draft, no statement can be made about whether the pact will allow more migrants to stay in the EU than before. The planned pact for migration and asylum is intended to create common framework conditions determine how the EU handles border protection and asylum and immigration policy in the next few years. Most of the rules The EU countries continue to determine these policy areas with their own laws. There is no common European asylum system. The blog post states that it is a position paper from the Council of Experts German Foundations for Integration and Migration (SVR), in which more legal Migration routes are required should “form the basis of this new pact for Migration and asylum serve». The recommendations published in March However, the position paper has no binding effect. Contrary to what is claimed in the blog article, specialist committees of the EU Parliament involved.

The same technical committee sent sent an open letter to the EU Commission in April with his positions for the Development of the migration pact.

DATA ROUNDUP 48 Months of Modi Government, Fact Check, Government of India, Health, India, Life, Stories, Women # Fact Checking Government claims about Mission Indradhanush 0 By Aila Bandagi Kandlakunta on April 2, 2019 * A A A Twitter Facebook Reddit > _The BJP government has published an infographic on the 48-months portal > that makes five claims about eliminating diseases & vaccination. This > article is a fact check of the claims_. [orc] The BJP government has published an infographic on the 48-months portal that makes five claims about eliminating diseases & vaccination. This article is a fact check of the claims. ![\\"\\"](\\" Indradhanush_infographic.jpg\\") Has India eliminated maternal and neo-natal tetanus? The first claim is that ‘India has validated elimination of maternal and neo-natal tetanus in May 2015, before the global target of December 2015’. A response in Lok Sabha from August 2016 stated that ‘WHO has certified Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus Elimination (MNTE) in India in May 2015, well before the global target date of December 2015. WHO has also certified India to be free from YAWS, a chronic bacterial disease, in May 2016’. > Claim: India has validated elimination of maternal and neo-natal tetanus in > may 2015, before the global target of December 2015. > > Fact: WHO has certified Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus Elimination (MNTE) in > India in May 2015, well before the global target date of December 2015. > Hence, the claim is TRUE. Have action plans for elimination of leprosy, measles and TB been implemented? The second claim is that ‘action plans to eliminate leprosy by 2018, measles by 2020 and Tuberculosis by 2025 implemented’. An answer given in the Lok Sabha to a similar question in December 2017, shows that target years have been set by the government to eliminate Leprosy, Measles and Tuberculosis. It states that ‘Elimination of Leprosy i.e., 1 case/ 10000 population at National level was already achieved in the year 2005. The short term target is reduction of Grade II disability cases to less than one million population, as per WHO document on Global Leprosy Strategy, 2016 – 2020’. It also states that ‘as on 18th December 2017, more than 6.5 crore children have been vaccinated with MR vaccine (against measles) in 13 States/UTs’. It also finally points out that ‘the incidence of TB has reduced from 217 per lakh per year in 2015 to 211 per lakh per year in 2016 and mortality has reduced from 36 per lakh per year in 2015 to 32 per lakh per year in 2016’. These action plans are continuous works of various governments and they have been implementing action plans and vaccination programmes. For example, ‘Government of India introduced measles vaccine across the country in 1985 under the Universal Immunization Programme (UIP). To further reduce the measles burden, a second dose of measles vaccine was introduced in the country in the year 2010’. > Claim: Action plans to eliminate leprosy by 2018, measles by 2020 and > Tuberculosis by 2025 implemented. > > Fact: Actions plans have been implemented to eliminate Leprosy by 2018, > measles by 202 and TB by 2025. Hence, the claim is TRUE. However, these > action plans are continuous works of various governments and they have been > implementing action plans. What is mission Indradhanush? The third claim is that ‘Mission Indradhanush completed four phases covering 528 districts’ Immunization Program in India was introduced in 1978 as ‘Expanded Program of Immunization’ (EPI) by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. In 1985, the program was modified as ‘Universal Immunization Program’ (UIP) to be implemented in phased manner to cover all districts in the country by 1989-90 with the one of largest health programs in the world. Despite being operational for many years, UIP has been able to fully immunize only 65% children in the first year of their life. According to the National health portal of Government of India, to strengthen and re-energize the program and achieve full immunization coverage for all children and pregnant women at a rapid pace, the Government of India launched ‘Mission Indradhanush’ in December 2014. As per the portal, the ultimate goal of Mission Indradhanush is to ensure full immunization with all available vaccines for children up to two years of age and pregnant women. An answer in Lok Sabha from April 2017 has stated that ‘in order to realize the objective set under Mission Indradhanush, the Government has completed three phases of Mission Indradhanush across 497 districts and the fourth phase is ongoing in 68 districts across 8 north eastern states since February’17’. Another answer is Lok Sabha from August 2018 has pointed out that ‘No separate funds are allocated for Mission Indradhanush. Funds allocated for Routine Immunization under part C of Programme Implementation Plan (PIP) are being utilized by the states to carryout activities under Mission Indradhanush’. In other words, though the program has been given a new name, it is being implemented with fund allocated for routine immunization. > Claim: Mission Indradhanush completed four phases covering 528 districts. > > Fact: A total of 565 districts have been covered under the scheme. Hence, > the claim is TRUE. However, though the program has been given a new name, it > is being implemented with fund allocated for routine immunization and no > special funds have been earmarked. Have 80 lakh pregnant women been immunized? The fourth claim, related to the previous claim is that ‘80.63 lakh pregnant women immunized’. According to an answer provided in Lok Sabha from August 2018, a total of 81.78 lakh pregnant women have been immunized under mission Indradhanush. > Claim: 80.63 lakh pregnant women immunized. > > Fact: A total of 81.78 lakh pregnant women have been immunized under mission > Indradhanush. Hence, the claim is TRUE. Have 3 crore children been vaccinated? The last claim, also related to the earlier claim is that ‘3.15 crore children vaccinated’. In an answer provided in the Lok Sabha in August 2018, it is stated that ‘319.28 lakh children have been immunized by August 2018’.But this is not the first time that such large scale vaccination drives have taken place in India. The immunization program is one of the oldest government programs. For instance, 7.78 crore children across India were vaccinated in 109 districts for Japanese Encephalitis between 2006 & 2010\. In 2013-14, 1.2 crore children were vaccinated with Measles vaccine in 45 districts in 13 States with 87.2% coverage. During Phase II, 3.6 crore children were vaccinated in 152 districts in 14 States. The Phase III of the campaign 11.8 crore children (85%) had been vaccinated in 167 districts in 5 States i.e. Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Bihar. > Claim: 3.15 crore children vaccinated. > > Fact: 319.282 lakh (3.19 crore) children have been immunized by August 2018. > Hence, the claim is TRUE. However, this is not the first time that such a > large scale immunization programme has been taken up and implemented. This story is part of a larger series on the 4-years of the Modi government.

See the sources for this fact-check About one year ago, on March 11, 2020, actor Tom Hanks announced that he and his wife, the actress Rita Wilson, had tested positive for COVID-19 in Australia, where he was shooting a movie. Social media posts at the time made Pants on Fire claims that the diagnosis was a cover for criminal charges. Now, a new post that’s being widely shared on Instagram alleges that Hanks died in Australia a couple days after announcing he had COVID-19. What looks like a news headline from March 13, 2020, says \"coronavirus claims life of Tom Hanks.\" It attributes the information to a \"Queensland Health spokeswoman.\" This post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.)

Though the original story has since been deleted, an archived version of the report says \"News24\" at the top, lending credence to the idea that this is a credible news site. But scroll down and you’ll see this disclaimer: \"This is satire.\" And there’s plenty of evidence refuting the claim that Hanks died back in March 2020. A couple of weeks after his COVID-19 announcement, American news outlets were reporting that Hanks and Wilson were both back stateside and had been photographed driving around Los Angeles, where they live. The Daily Mail published the photos of Hanks that appear in the Facebook post in May 2020. Captions on the images say Hanks is in Los Angeles, not Australia. On April 11, Hanks, hosted a special remote episode of \"Saturday Night Live.\" And in January, Hanks, now 64, hosted an evening celebration of President Joe Biden’s inauguration.

But at a fundraising reception on Sept. 13, Biden wrongly credited the Democratic COVID-19 relief bill enacted during the first months of his administration with rescuing a U.S. economy “in decline.” Economists told FactCheck.org that the weakened economy actually was “growing,” albeit at a “slower pace,” before the legislation became law. Also, as of August, the unemployment rate was 3.7%, up 0.2 percentage points from 3.5% in July — which was the lowest it had been since February 2020, when it also was 3.5%. However, in White House remarks the same day, Biden misleadingly claimed that the unemployment rate last month was “nearly a 50-year low in our country.” ## The Recovery Biden talked about the U.S. recovery from the COVID-19-caused economic collapse at a reception hosted by the Democratic National Committee. According to a White House transcript of his remarks, the president said: “I’ve stuck to what I said I was going to try to do from the American Rescue Plan, which we got passed without a single Republican vote in February, which literally turned the economy from one that was in decline to one that’s in recovery.” The final version of the American Rescue Plan passed in the House and Senate in early March 2021, and Biden signed it into law on March 11. Only Democrats and independents voted in favor of the legislation, which included an estimated $1.8 trillion in additional spending to aid the nation’s economic recovery, such as $1,400 direct payments to eligible individuals. The rescue plan, or ARP, followed two other major relief bills, the $1.7 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act and about $900 billion for COVID-19 in the Consolidated Appropriations Act – both of which were enacted under former President Donald Trump in 2020. Those prior legislative efforts had already helped start the country’s economic comeback when Biden took office. At the time the ARP became law, the economy certainly had not rebounded all the way back to pre-pandemic levels. It was still struggling, but the country’s fiscal status was improving, contrary to what Biden claimed. For example, after two quarters of economic contraction at the start of the pandemic, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis estimated that real GDP grew by 33.8% in the third quarter of 2020, 4.5% in the fourth quarter and then 6.3% in the first quarter of 2021. In addition, the unemployment rate, which reached a pandemic high of 14.7% in April 2020, was down to 6% in March 2021, after declining for nearly 10 months consecutively. Several economists also told us the economy was not in decline. “The economy, as measured by GDP or any other conventional metrics, was clearly growing from April 2020 at least till the end of 2021,” Johns Hopkins University economist Jonathan Wright said in an email. “At first this was at a fast pace, and then a slower pace. I do not agree with the statement that the economy was in decline at the time that the ARP was passed.” Steven Fazzari, an economist at Washington University in St. Louis, agreed. “President Biden’s statement could be more carefully crafted,” he said in an email. “Taken literally, it is misleading. But I believe the broader implication is largely correct. The economy in early 2021 was growing, but from a very low level.” “When the ARP was proposed, the economy had not yet recovered from the pandemic collapse,” Fazzari continued. “In the months following the ARP, GDP and job growth accelerated, speeding up the recovery.” Wright also said that the “ARP boosted the economy,” which, in his words, “was operating at less than full potential at that time.” The White House did not respond to our questions about Biden’s claim. At times, the administration has highlighted a February analysis from Moody’s Analytics on global fiscal policy during the pandemic. That report projected that, if not for the ARP, the U.S. recovery would have taken longer, as the economy likely would have experienced a “double-digit recession” in the spring of 2021, leading to another increase in unemployment. “The ARP is responsible for adding well over 4 million more jobs in 2021, and the economy is currently on track to recovering all the jobs lost in the pandemic by the second quarter of this year,” the report said. “If there had been no ARP, it would have taken another year for the economy to recover all of these jobs.” The economy hit the point of recovering all lost jobs from the pandemic in the third quarter. Still, Moody’s chief economist Mark Zandi, one of the report’s authors, also told us in an email exchange that Biden’s claim at the DNC event was imprecise. “I wouldn’t say the economy was in decline at the time the ARP was passed, but I would say the economy was fragile and that there was still substantial uncertainty regarding the path of the pandemic and the sustainability of the recovery,” Zandi wrote. “The ARP was important to insure that the recovery became a self-sustaining economic expansion.” ## Unemployment As for the unemployment rate, it was at 3.7% as of August, the most recent month for estimates from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That was up one- fifth of a percentage point from 3.5% in July. In remarks from the White House South Lawn on Sept. 13, Biden made the misleading claim that the August rate was the lowest in almost five decades. “Since we came to office, we’ve created nearly 10 million jobs — a record for any presidency up to this point — 3.7 percent unemployment, nearly a 50-year low in our country,” the president said. He has made similar claims about the rate before and since. But the rate was as low as 3.5% in January and February of 2020 – just weeks before the spread of COVID-19 disrupted the global economy. The last time the rate was lower than that was when it was 3.4% for nine straight months between 1968 and 1969. So the current rate is near a two-and-a-half-year low. In addition, while the number of jobs added in Biden’s first 20 months — 9.7 million — is the most of any newly elected president, on a percentage basis, the growth in jobs under President Jimmy Carter was better than the increase so far under Biden. Since Biden has been president, total nonfarm employment increased about 6.7% from roughly 143 million jobs in January 2021 to over 152.7 million in August 2022, according to the latest BLS figures. Under Carter, employment grew from about 80.7 million in January 1977 to almost 87.5 million in August 1978. That’s an employment increase of about 6.8 million workers, or 8.4%. As we have written before, comparing the percentage increases — rather than raw jobs numbers — helps account for changes in the size of the labor force and the overall population over time. Biden’s claim also doesn’t acknowledge the unique economic conditions created by COVID-19. The U.S. economy lost nearly 22 million jobs at the start of the pandemic, when large parts of the economy shut down. By the time Biden took office, over 40% of those jobs still had not come back, BLS data show. So there was a lot of room for growth. It was not until August that total nonfarm employment finally surpassed the pre-pandemic high of 152.5 million, according to the BLS’ preliminary figures.

Brian Kemp in a rematch this fall, correctly accused Kemp’s TV ad makers of “conveniently” editing her comments about defunding the police, but she falsely claimed that the state’s violent crimes went up 55% in 2020. The actual increase was about 5%. ## Violent Crimes Abrams, who narrowly lost to Kemp in the 2018 governor’s race, made her remarks about violent crime in the state on “Fox News Sunday” after host Martha MacCallum asked Abrams if it was “a mistake to defund the police” given that crime is rising across the country. > Abrams, June 26: The intention that we had in 2020 was to call attention to > the harm that was being done to Black people by the police. We have a litany > of murders that shocked the conscience of every American. But let’s be > clear, in the state of Georgia, violent crime went up 55% in 2019 to 2020 > under Brian Kemp. It had nothing to do with the reaction to George Floyd’s > murder, to Rayshard Brooks’ murder, to Ahmaud Arbery’s murder, to Breonna > Taylor’s murder. It happened under Brian Kemp’s leadership. It happened > under a president and a governor who believed that punishment rather than a > balanced approach was the answer. We know that has never worked. That we > have to have both public safety and justice. According to the Georgia Uniform Crime Reporting Program, the total number of reported violent crimes in Georgia was 26,615 in 2019 and 27,916 in 2020 – which was an increase of 1,301 violent crimes, or nearly 5%, not 55%. When factoring in the state’s growing population, the rise in the reported violent crime rate was even smaller. The reported violent crime rate per 100,000 population increased 3.9% from 251.3 in 2019 to 261 in 2020. ![\\"\\"](\\" didn’t mention the change in violent crimes in 2021, but there was an even larger increase in that year — both in the number and rate of reported violent crimes. In 2021, there were 33,686 reported violent crimes in Georgia and a violent crime rate of 312 per 100,000 population, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. That’s an annual increase of 5,770 reported violent crimes, or nearly 21%. The rate per 100,000 population increased by 19.5%. Still, the violent crime rate has gone down under Kemp, since he became governor in January 2019. The rate was 325.7 per 100,000 population in 2018, the year before Kemp took office. That’s higher than any of the rates in Kemp’s first three years as governor. We asked the Abrams campaign where she got the 55% figure and whether she misspoke. We did not get an immediate response. But if we get a response, we will update this article. Update, June 30: The Abrams campaign told us the candidate misspoke. She meant to say homicides, not all violent crimes. The campaign provided us with a news article that said the FBI estimated the number of homicides in the state increased 55% in 2020. The FBI estimated that homicides in Georgia increased from 605 in 2019 to 943 in 2020. (Using the FBI Crime Data Explorer, download “CIUS Estimations” for 2020 under the heading “Crime in the United States Annual Reports.” See Table 4.) However, the Georgia Bureau of Investigations provided us with figures that show a smaller increase. According to its data, there were 539 murders and negligent manslaughter offenses in 2019 and 640 murders and manslaughter offenses in 2020. That’s a 19% increase. An FBI spokesperson sent us a statement that said, in part: “Because not all law enforcement agencies provide data for complete reporting periods, the FBI includes estimated crime numbers” in its crime data tool. In 2020, the FBI received complete or partial crime data from 399 of 657 law enforcement agencies in the state. ## Defunding the Police MacCallum also asked Abrams about a TV ad, paid for by the Kemp campaign, that shows a short clip of CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota interviewing Abrams on June 15, 2020, about her position on defunding the police. > Ad announcer: Listen to Stacey Abrams on defunding the police. > > Camerota: [S]o yes, to some defunding? > > Abrams: We have to reallocate resources, so yes. > > Ad announcer: Stacey Abrams said “yes” to defunding the police. MacCallum played that clip and asked Abrams for her reaction to the ad. > MacCallum: So, what’s your reaction to that? And do you believe that you’ve > changed your tune on defunding the police? > > Abrams: No, because if you listen to the whole clip, which Brian Kemp > conveniently leaves out, I said, if the choice is between the murder of > Black people and serving Black people, then certainly. But I don’t think > that’s where we are and I don’t think that’s where we have to be. > > My intent is to balance public safety and justice. Because doing otherwise > has never worked. We cannot punish our way into public safety. But we also > have to recognize that there are deep challenges in how law enforcement > engages our communities. And that is why I’m pushing both for public safety > measures, accountability measures and criminal justice reform measures. Abrams is correct. Kemp’s ad makers did leave out Abrams’ explanation of her remarks and the important caveat about having to choose how to spend money when resources are tight and problems exist in police departments. Here is Abrams’ full response to Camerota. The interview occurred three days after Rayshard Brooks was killed by Atlanta police officer Garrett Rolfe. > Camerota, June 15, 2020: And so that leads us to the larger conversation > that we’ve been having for three — at least three weeks now, and that’s the, > what do we do about police departments? What about the defunding argument, > which is, that if you take some of the money away from police departments > and put it into community programs that that would be more helpful. Do you > agree with that? > > Abrams: I agree that we have to have two conversations at the exact same > time. We have to have a reform conversation that acknowledges that the > murder of George Floyd, the murder of Breonna Taylor, the murder of Ahmaud > Arbery, the murder of Tony [Mc]Dade, the murder of Rayshard Brooks, the > murder of Black men and women who’s litany is too long to go into on the > show. That those behaviors have to be changed, because we do have legitimate > needs for public safety, for domestic violence victims, for children who are > risk.

Let’s fact-check the claim made in the post. ![\\"\\"](\\" Bihar-FB-Post.jpg\\")The archived version of the post can be found here. > Claim: Photo of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra wearing Indira’s saree as Bihar > Assembly elections – 2020 are coming up.Fact: The photo was taken in 2009 in > Amethi (UP). It is not related to the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections – > 2020. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE. When the image was run through the Google Reverse Image, only recent posts with the same claim were found in the search results. But, when we searched with the keywords taken from the claim, many similar posts with the same photo were found to be posted in October 2018. So, it can be concluded that this image is not related to the upcoming Bihar elections – 2020. ![\\"\\"](\\" Bihar-Old-Post.jpg\\") When we searched with other keywords and using time filter, the same photo was found to be uploaded by ‘Pressbrief .in’ on the Flickr website. In the description, it can be read that the photo was taken on 12 April 2009 when Priyanka Gandhi visited a ‘Durga temple during the election campaign for her brother Rahul Gandhi in Amethi’. Other similar photos can be found here. ![\\"\\"](\\" Bihar-Flickr-1024x715.jpg\\") Also, the photos related to her visit to the temple in 2009 can be found on the ‘Getty Images’ and ‘Outlook’ websites. We could not find any information about her saree. ![\\"\\"](\\" Bihar-Getty-1024x410.jpg\\") While the posted photo is old, Priyanka Gandhi recently visited Delhi’s Valmiki Temple to attend a prayer meeting for Hathras victim.

Social media posts misleadingly claim Trump is “facing up to 30+ years” in prison if convicted. But legal experts said it is unlikely Trump would serve any time in prison. ## Full Story Former President Donald Trump was arraigned on April 4 in a Manhattan courtroom on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records — the first criminal indictment filed against a former U.S. president. As we’ve written before, the case centers on allegations that Trump conspired during the 2016 presidential election to pay $130,000 to silence porn actor Stormy Daniels about a sexual encounter and then falsified business records to conceal state and federal election law violations. ![\\"\\"](\\" insert.png\\")Police guard Manhattan Criminal Courthouse after former President Donald Trump’s arraignment on April 4. © SWinxy / Wikimedia Commons / CC-BY-SA-4.0 Trump pleaded not guilty on all counts before being released and returning that night to his home in Florida, where he addressed supporters. The next court hearing is scheduled for December. Following the arraignment, social media users began making misleading predictions about a potential prison sentence for Trump if he were convicted. Under New York’s state penal code, falsifying business records in the first degree is a Class E non-violent felony. Potential jail time for the offense can range from one and one-third to four years in prison. An April 4 Instagram post, which includes a fake, computer-generated image of Trump being arrested, is captioned with the claim that Trump is “facing up to 30+ years if found guilty.” The post received more than 9,000 likes. That same day, conservative comedian Terrence K. Williams took the claim further on Facebook, misleadingly declaring, “President Trump is facing 136 years in prison if he’s found guilty of all 34 felonies.” That post received more than 85,000 views and more than 6,000 likes. ## Misreading the State Penal Code Legal experts told FactCheck.org that a sentence involving jail time is unlikely for Trump — and, if it were imposed, the sentence wouldn’t be nearly as long as the posts suggest. It is uncommon for first-time offenders of Class E non-violent felonies to receive jail time. (Probation, fines and mandatory community service are more common types of sentences.) “A typical white collar offender, convicted of a non-violent crime, with no prior record, would not receive prison time,” John C. Coffee, Jr., professor of criminal justice at Columbia Law School, told us in an April 5 email. Similarly, Arthur Aidala, former president of the Brooklyn Bar Association and a former prosecutor, told Business Insider, “I do not see a scenario where Donald Trump spends one minute in jail.” Even if Trump were convicted and sentenced to jail time, which Coffee suggested could happen if a judge wanted “to signal that ‘No Man is Above the Law,\'” the total sentence wouldn’t approach “30+ years,” as the Instagram post suggested. That is because the majority of non-violent felony sentences are served concurrently, or simultaneously, rather than consecutively, which occurs when a convict is imprisoned for the total time accumulated from multiple charges. A concurrent sentence would mean that Trump couldn’t be imprisoned for any time longer than four years, the maximum possible sentence for one count of falsifying business records. It is “likely that his sentences for the various counts would run concurrently. That would mean a maximum of four years in prison,” Claire Finkelstein, director of the Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law at the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg Public Policy Center, told us in an email on April 5.

BOOM found that the video is from China\'s Pinglu County and is unrelated to the Turkey earthquake. On February 6, 2023, Turkey and Syria were hit with an intense 7.8-magnitude earthquake, and the countries are still grappling from its devastating effects. Over 45,000 lives have been lost in this disaster and several videos have gone viral from the region. Amid this, the video showing several cracks in the earth\'s surface is also being shared with the caption, \"Turkey Syria Earthquake Caused 300 km Long Crack in Earth’s Crust #turkeyearthquake2023 #earthquake #TurkeySyriaEarthquake2023 Turkey-Syria\" Click here to view the tweet and here for an archive. Click here to view the tweet. The video is also circulating on Facebook. Click here to view. Click here to view. ### FACT-CHECK BOOM found that the video from China\'s Pinglu County and not from the recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. While going through some of the comments under the viral videos, we found several users pointing out that the video is from China. One user mentioned that it was from the country\'s Pinglu County. Click here to view. Using these hints and some key visuals from the video, we ran a reverse image search on Google and found several videos uploaded on Chinese video sharing platform Douyin. One of these videos had the caption, \"A gap about 20 kilometers long has been drawn on the entire plain of Pinglu County, Yuncheng, Shanxi Province. What kind of force divides it into two? Do you know how it was formed?\" Click here to view. The upload date of the video is January 16, 2023, which predates the Turkey and Syria earthquakes. Here is a comparison of the two videos: Using the new information from the caption, we looked for other videos on YouTube by using some Chinese keywords. We found a video similar to our viral video uploaded on November 19, 2022. Also Read:Video of SpaceX Rocket Launch Peddled As Türkiye Earthquake While this particular video is not from the fissures in Turkey, there have been several cracks in the area because of the earthquake, including a 300-km rupture through the earth\'s surface.

Tenney, a Republican seeking re-election in a district that reaches from the North Country into Western New York, claimed on Facebook that Biden\'s executive order \"requires our taxpayer-funded federal agencies to violate the Hatch Act and engage in illegal vote harvesting.\" The Hatch Act limits partisan political activity by federal employees and by state and local employees who deliver federally funded programs during work hours and bans them from using government offices and resources. We wondered how this order could require federal employees to engage in partisan political activity and illegally harvest votes. \"Ballot harvesting\" or \"vote harvesting\" is a term often used by people in a pejorative way to refer to collecting completed absentee ballots and submitting them. Some voting rights experts see the term \"ballot harvesting\" as pejorative and prefer the term \"ballot collection.\" Many states allow at least certain individuals to collect some ballots on behalf of others. Biden signed Executive Order 14019 on March 7, 2021. It builds on a 1993 law, the National Voter Registration Act, which aimed to expand opportunities for eligible voters to register at places such as military recruiting offices, state motor vehicle departments and federal agencies. The National Voter Registration Act specifies that voter registration activities must be nonpartisan and that the \"person providing assistance at a voter registration agency cannot attempt to influence an applicant’s political preference or party registration\" or make an applicant believe that public benefits or services are dependent on decisions related to their registration, according to the Congressional Research Service. Biden’s order states that \"the head of each agency shall evaluate ways in which the agency can, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, promote voter registration and voter participation.\" These activities include updating websites and other public-facing materials with information on how to register to vote, how to request a vote-by-mail ballot, and how to cast a ballot in upcoming elections, and pointing visitors to their own states’ election information. A state can request that federal agencies be designated voter registration agencies, under the order, and states must approve of any such designation. Military recruitment offices are already voter registration agencies under the National Voter Registration Act. #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" black/4590875651af69b2c789ceab409664dd.jpg\\") ![](\\" black/72988380e8c8bd188dc360d11552e4a0.jpg\\") X posts stated on August 5, 2024 in an X post Tim Walz “changed the Minnesota flag so it could resemble the Somalian flag.” ![\\"true\\"](\\" false/33efdb6633e5e2fdc2d4e2f63383a1e0.jpg.\\") ![\\"false\\"](\\" false.jpg\\") By Jeff Cercone • August 6, 2024 We approached Tenney’s office for evidence of her claim, and a spokesperson told us the executive order directs federal agencies, who employ political appointees, to promote access to voting. The Hatch Act prohibits civil service employees in the executive branch from engaging in political activity, and by using civil service employees to \"handpick\" who they register to vote, the Biden administration is engaging in illegal vote harvesting, she said. Experts we spoke with said the order does not violate the Hatch Act and does not lead to vote harvesting. \"The order has nothing to do with ‘ballot harvesting,’ in any way that term could be defined,\" said David J. Becker, executive director and founder of the Center for Election Innovation & Research, a nonpartisan organization that works with election officials from both political parties. \"It is merely an order authorizing federal agencies to cooperate with the states to provide voter registration opportunities to all citizens through those agencies.\" Harvesting can be a scary word, conjuring up images of collecting ballots from people against their will or collecting fraudulent ballots. But ballot distribution and collection is still run by the states under this order, said Jonathan Diaz, director of voting advocacy and partnerships at the Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan organization that promotes voting. Trevor Potter, a Republican and former chairman of the Federal Election Commission, founded the legal center. \"This is not directing federal agencies to do anything in support of a candidate or party or ballot initiative,\" Diaz said. The U.S. Office of Special Counsel issued two opinions in the early 2000s about whether voter registration drives in federal offices violate the Hatch Act. The office has found that registration drives organized by nonpartisan organizations are allowed. Partisan drives, those with a goal of helping a party or candidate, are not allowed. \"Nonpartisan voter registration is not partisan, and therefore is not a problem under the Hatch Act,\" said Sean Morales-Doyle, director of the Voting Rights Program at the Brennan Center for Justice. Our ruling Tenney claimed that Executive Order 14019 \"requires our taxpayer-funded federal agencies to violate the Hatch Act and engage in illegal vote harvesting.\" Her use of the words \"requires\" and \"violate\" are not suggestions of what the order could do. They are strong words, but they are wrong. The order calls on federal agencies to expand voter registration activities and to do so within the bounds of the law. The Hatch Act prohibits partisan political activities in government offices. Promoting voter registration to would-be eligible voters who come in contact with federal agencies is not a partisan activity. The order does not require federal agencies to violate the Hatch Act. The order also does not call for federal agencies to collect any ballots, so the claim of illegal vote harvesting is baseless. This statement makes a ridiculous claim, and we rate it Pants on Fire! #### Read About Our Process The Principles of the Truth-O-Meter ### Our Sources Facebook post, Rep.

See the sources for this fact-check A post pushing back against the prosecution of Kyle Rittenhouse, the white teen awaiting a jury verdict in his Wisconsin shooting case, implies that a Black suspect got more favorable treatment in a less publicized shooting. The comparison is made in a viral image showing pictures of Rittenhouse, who says he shot in self-defense during a violent protest in Kenosha, Wis., and Timothy Simpkins, who is charged with shooting three people at his high school in Arlington, Texas. The image says Rittenhouse shot three people \"in self-defense and got 2+ mo in prison, with a 2 million dollar bail\" and Simpkins \"shot four children\" and \"was freed within 24 hours, and then bail was $75k. I think it’s pretty evident to say that white privilege is a myth.\" The image was shared in a Facebook post that was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.) Two important facts are left out: Two of the people Rittenhouse shot were killed, leading to two homicide charges against him, including one that carries a mandatory life prison sentence. No one died in the school shooting, and Simpkins faces much lesser charges of aggravated assault. Wide difference in jail and bail The jail and bail details have been widely reported. Simpkins was released from the Tarrant County jail in Fort Worth on Oct. 7, 2021, the day after the school shooting, after paying a $75,000 bond. His case is pending, with a court date scheduled for Dec. 10, 2021. Rittenhouse was released from the Kenosha County jail on Nov. 20, 2020, on $2 million bail. He had been in custody since surrendering to police in his hometown of Antioch, Ill., on Aug. 26, 2020, the day after the Kenosha shooting. The jury in his trial on homicide charges began deliberations on Nov. 16, 2021. #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" ![](\\" Facebook posts stated on August 30, 2024 in a post \"Samsung drops out of $1 billion advertising campaign with Olympics.\" ![\\"true\\"](\\" false/33efdb6633e5e2fdc2d4e2f63383a1e0.jpg.\\") ![\\"false\\"](\\" false.jpg\\") By Kwasi Gyamfi Asiedu • August 2, 2024 Wide differences in outcomes of shootings Simpkins is charged with three counts of felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Simpkins, 18, was involved in a fight with a 15-year-old student at his high school in Arlington, which is between Dallas and Fort Worth, on Oct. 6, 2021, according to an arrest warrant and news reports. The incident left four people hurt, including three wounded by gunfire. During the fight, Simpkins fired shots from a handgun, according to police. He turned himself in later that day after police said he was wanted for the shooting. One teacher was injured from a fall. Three people were wounded, two seriously: the 15-year-old who was in the fight with Simpkins, who was released from a hospital after several surgeries about two weeks later, and a teacher who was hospitalized for about a week. News reports initially linked the shooting to Simpkins being bullied at school, but the police chief later said bullying was not a factor. Rittenhouse is charged with four felonies, including two homicide charges. Rittenhouse, then 17, traveled across state lines from his home in Antioch, Ill., about 20 miles to Kenosha, site of violent protests over a police shooting days earlier. He was armed with an AR-15, and on a self-described mission to protect property. During a confrontation, he shot three people, killing two. Charged with four felonies and one misdemeanor weapons charge, Rittenhouse said that he shot in self-defense. If convicted of the most serious charge, first-degree intentional homicide in one of the shootings, Rittenhouse would face a mandatory sentence of life in prison. Our ruling A viral image contrasting the treatment of two teens charged in shooting cases said that Simpkins, a Black teen shooter, got one day in jail and $75,000 bail, while Rittenhouse, a white shooter, got two months in jail and $2 million bail, implying that Simpkins was treated more favorably. The bail and jail details are correct. But the post leaves out important facts: No one died in the case involving the Black teen, Simpkins, who was charged with aggravated assault.

The continuing siege threatens to cut off supplies of fuel, food and water for Gazans. \"Gaza tonight. When the skies are lit with terror,\" an Instagram user said in an Oct. 27 post, showing photos of buildings tinged orange against a backdrop of fire and smoke.

We’ve noticed a disturbing trend by some websites reporting false suicides of Bryant’s surviving family members. A new one claims to show the BBC reported on the death of Bryant’s eldest daughter, Natalia. The video shows a photo of Natalia with text that says \"R.I.P.

However, there is nothing to support this theory. According to a publication circulating on Facebook, the world elite would have for the intention of reducing the population of our planet by several billion to 800 million individuals by 2030, due to lack of resources. A a dismal plan to say the least which would have been approved by 160 countries on the occasion of an international conference on population, which would have taken place in 1994 in Cairo, Egypt. Various strategies would thus have been implemented place at the time “in order to eliminate 95% of the human population”, argues the Facebook post. But was this really the objective of this summit? ## Assessment No. There is no evidence supporting these claims. The conference in question was intended to set goals to improve quality of life of the population, in a context of demographic growth. There is no no trace of any plan to reduce the population. ## Facts The 1994 World Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), the fifth of its type, brought together in Cairo representatives from 179 countries \- and no 160. It was organized by the Population Division and the Fund for the population of the United Nations (UN). However, there is no evidence that the latter would have agreed to reduce the world population drastically. The Facebook post provides no tangible evidence to support these allegations. The action program instead asks the question of how population growth can go hand in hand with sustainable development and improving the quality of life of citizens around the world. The emphasis is placed "on meeting the individual needs of women and of men, rather than on the achievement of demographic objectives", as summarized by the UN. A reissue of this action program on the occasion of its 20th anniversary includes in particular the different objectives recommended to the international community: “Sustained economic growth within the framework sustainable development; education, particularly that of girls; gender equity and equality; reduction of mortality infant, juvenile and maternal; and universal access to health services of reproduction, including family planning and health matter of sexuality. » Other conferences, such as that in Bucharest in 1974, were more focused on the challenges linked to population growth, which has experienced a boom after World War II. However, as in 1994, it is not makes no mention anywhere in the action program of an intention to reduce the world population. On the contrary, the plan adopted by the States UN members in Bucharest underlined the right of each individual “to decide freely” on the number of their children. An often distorted UN agenda The Facebook post is also accompanied by a video supposedly present the “real goals” of the UN included in its 2030 Agenda. Among these would include restricted access to water, “demonization vehicles", and the establishment of "permanent control" of citizens using cameras and tracking systems. This type of theory comes up regularly on social networks, under different shapes. However, there is no proof of the existence of such goals. The Deutsche Presse-Agentur (dpa) has already denied claims similar to the UN 2030 Agenda, for example here and here.

(Video: The Washington Post) Analysis by Glenn Kessler and Salvador Rizzo September 23, 2019 at 3:00 a.m. EDT “That call [with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky] was a great call. It was a perfect call, a perfect call. What wasn’t perfect is the horrible thing that Joe Biden said. And now he made a lie when he said he never spoke to his son. I mean, give me a break. He’s already said he spoke to his son. And now he said yesterday very firmly. Who wouldn’t speak to your son? Of course you spoke to your son. So, he made the mistake of saying he never spoke to his son. He spoke to his son. But, more importantly, what he said about the billions of dollars that he wouldn’t give them unless they fired the prosecutor, and then he bragged about how they fired the prosecutor, and then they got the money.” — President Trump, speaking to reporters, Sept. 22, 2019 “I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.” Advertisement Story continues below advertisement — Former vice president Joe Biden, speaking to reporters, Sept. 21 ✅ Follow Fact-checking politicians Follow “Somebody ought to look into Joe Biden’s statement, because it was disgraceful, where he talked about billions of dollars that he’s not giving to a certain country unless a certain prosecutor is taken off the case. So, somebody ought to look into that.” — Trump, remarks to reporters, Sept. 20 President Trump is under fire for having repeatedly raised Joe Biden, a possible opponent in the 2020 presidential race, in a July conversation with Ukraine’s president at a time when the struggling nation expected to receive military aid for its nascent war against Russia on its eastern border. (The aid eventually arrived after demands from Congress.) The same conversation appears to figure in a whistleblower complaint from the intelligence community, but the details are not entirely clear because the administration has blocked the sharing of information about the complaint with Congress despite apparent requirements under the law. Advertisement Story continues below advertisement This is one of those vast and complex stories that consume Washington but frequently confuse ordinary Americans. The Trump White House appears to be counting on that confusion to offer a fog of claims and allegations to make it appear as if Biden had done something wrong. On top of that, Trump is arguing that because Biden said he withheld aid from Ukraine in the name of battling corruption, there’s nothing wrong with Trump withholding aid from the same country in the name of fighting corruption (i.e., Biden was involved in supposedly corrupt dealings and should be investigated). “The conversation I had was largely congratulatory, was largely corruption, all of the corruption taking place, was largely the fact that we don’t want our people, like Vice President Biden and his son, creating to the corruption already in the Ukraine,” Trump told reporters. Advertisement Story continues below advertisement But there is no equivalency here: We fact-checked these allegations in May and found they did not add up. In fact, Biden’s case has gotten stronger with time. Trump has claimed that Biden in 2015 pressured the Ukrainian government to fire Viktor Shokin, the top Ukrainian prosecutor, because he was investigating a Ukrainian gas producer, Burisma Holdings, that had added Biden’s son Hunter to its board. But it turns out that the investigation had already been shelved when Biden acted and may have even involved a side company, not Burisma. The Ukrainian prosecutor was regarded as a failure, and “Joe Biden’s efforts to oust Shokin were universally praised,” said Anders Aslund, a Swedish economist heavily involved in Eastern European market reforms. Moreover, Yuri Lutsenko, a former Ukrainian prosecutor general who succeeded the fired prosecutor, told Bloomberg News that there was no evidence of wrongdoing by Joe or Hunter Biden. Advertisement Story continues below advertisement To help readers keep the allegations straight, let’s dissect the president’s latest statements. ### Biden lied about talking to his son Biden told reporters that he never spoke to his son about his overseas business dealings. Trump labeled that a lie. “Who wouldn’t speak to your son?” asked Trump, who has always maintained he never spoke to his son Donald Jr. about the Trump Tower meeting with Russian operatives. “Of course you spoke to your son.” In July, in a profile of Hunter Biden in the New Yorker, Hunter described one brief exchange with his father on the issue. > In December, 2015, as Joe Biden prepared to return to Ukraine, his aides > braced for renewed scrutiny of Hunter’s relationship with Burisma. Amos > Hochstein, the Obama Administration’s special envoy for energy policy, > raised the matter with Biden, but did not go so far as to recommend that > Hunter leave the board. As Hunter recalled, his father discussed Burisma > with him just once: “Dad said, ‘I hope you know what you are doing,’ and I > said, ‘I do.’ ” Is that a substantive discussion or not? We will leave it to readers to decide, but it’s a thin reed on which to hang the label of “lie.” In any case, Biden never said he spoke to his son, as Trump claimed he did. ### Biden was ‘disgraceful’ when he bragged about holding back the funds Trump is referring to a 2018 appearance by Biden before the Council on Foreign Relations. Here’s what Biden said: Advertisement Story continues below advertisement > “I remember going over, convincing our team … that we should be providing > for loan guarantees. … And I was supposed to announce that there was another > billion-dollar loan guarantee. And I had gotten a commitment from [then > Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko] and from [then-Prime Minister Arseniy] > Yatsenyuk that they would take action against the state prosecutor [Shokin]. > And they didn’t…They were walking out to a press conference. I said, ‘Nah, … > We’re not going to give you the billion dollars.’ They said, ‘You have no > authority. You’re not the president.’ … I said, ‘Call him.’ I said, ‘I’m > telling you, you’re not getting the billion dollars.’ … I looked at them and > said, ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not > getting the money.’ Well, son of a b----. He got fired. And they put in > place someone who was solid at the time.” Biden is certainly being self-congratulatory here. But, as noted, Biden’s action was coordinated with other major players in the region and celebrated at the time because Shokin was widely seen as a failure. Bloomberg reported that “the U.S. plan to push for Shokin’s dismissal didn’t initially come from Biden, but rather filtered up from officials at the U.S. Embassy in Kiev, according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation.” In the same month Biden traveled to Ukraine, Bloomberg also reported, “hundreds of Ukrainians demonstrated outside President Petro Poroshenko’s office demanding Shokin’s resignation, and he was dismissed.” “This decision creates an opportunity to make a fresh start in the prosecutor general’s office. I hope that the new prosecutor general will ensure that [his office] becomes independent from political influence and pressure and enjoys public trust,” Jan Tombinski, the European Union’s envoy to Ukraine, said in a statement when the firing was announced. The statement decried the “lack of tangible results of investigations into serious cases.” Advertisement Story continues below advertisement It’s unclear when exactly this conversation took place but it appears to have been during a visit by Biden to Ukraine in December, 2015, when he spoke to the Parliament and decried the “cancer of corruption” in the country. \"The Office of the General Prosecutor desperately needs reform,” he noted. Shokin was removed from office in mid-March and Biden and Poroshenko announced on April 15 the loan guarantee would go forward; the agreement between the United States and Ukraine was signed on June 3. Biden’s account to the Council on Foreign Relations appears to squeeze months of negotiations into a few hours. Note that the money in question was $1 billion in loan guarantees — not “billions” of dollars in aid, as Trump claimed.

Somebody ought to look into Joe Biden’s statement because it was disgraceful where he talked about billions of dollars that he’s not giving to a certain country unless a certain prosecutor is taken off the case

La usuaria de la red social no ofrece datos ni fuentes confiables que respalden las desinformaciones que comparte también sobre la viruela del mono. (Haz clic aquí para chatear con nosotros y enviarnos lo que quieras que verifiquemos). Por: Crisleida Porras, Publicado 22 Ago 2022 – 03:20 PM EDT | Actualizado 4 Sep 2022 – 05:23 PM EDT Comparte Cargando Video... Es falso que la vacuna contra el covid-19 produzca como un efecto secundario el herpes zóster, comúnmente llamado culebrilla, o que esta enfermedad supuestamente haya sido “disfrazada” de viruela del mono, como se afirma en un video de TikTok, cuya creadora difunde teorías conspirativas desde su cuenta, así como otras desinformaciones. Por el chatbot de WhatsApp de elDetector recibimos una solicitud para chequear este video subido el 28 de julio de 2022, que a la fecha de publicación de esta verificación cuenta con más de 357,000 reproducciones y 34,000 “me gusta”, en el que la usuaria de TikTok expresa varias afirmaciones falsas. En elDetector las desmontamos. Publicidad Envíanos al chat algo que quieres que verifiquemos. Pincha aquí: ### El herpes zóster no está entre los efectos secundarios de la vacuna covid-19 ni es causado por ella En el video de TikTok se afirma que en la página de Pfizer y de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) “les tocó que [sic] poner que uno de los efectos secundarios de la vacuna de Pfizer es el herpes zóster”. Esto es falso: en elDetector revisamos los apartados actualizados a la fecha de publicación de esta verificación que se refieren a los efectos secundarios de la inyección, tanto en la web de la farmacéutica como en la de la autoridad sanitaria internacional, y en ninguna de ellas se menciona. Enrojecimiento e hinchazón en el lugar de la inyección; dolor de cabeza, muscular o articular; fatiga; escalofríos y fiebre son los efectos secundarios reportados como más comunes, reseñados no solo en estos sitios institucionales como Pfizer y la OMS, sino también en la sección de Preguntas y Respuestas sobre la vacuna de Pfizer-BioNTech en la Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos de Estados Unidos (FDA, en inglés). El herpes zóster o culebrilla tampoco está incluido dentro de los eventos adversos registrados por los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC, en inglés). En su lista actualizada al 15 de agosto de 2022, solo figuran miocarditis y pericarditis, síndrome de Guillain-Barré y síndrome de trombosis con trombocitopenia (TTS), que además son calificados como “poco frecuentes”. Lo que sí se ha estado estudiando es la posible reactivación, en quienes ya lo padecieron, del virus que origina el herpes zóster luego de recibir una vacuna contra covid-19, pero eso no significa que la inyección provoque esta enfermedad por primera vez a una persona. “Puede ocurrir una reactivación del virus del herpes zóster [o culebrilla] en los vacunados, en particular en personas mayores de 40 años que lo han tenido anteriormente. No es que la vacuna se los causó”, explicó vía telefónica a elDetector la epidemióloga especialista en enfermedades infecciosas Lyda Osorio. Luego de que las personas que padecen herpes zóster se recuperan, “el virus continúa viviendo en algunas de las células nerviosas. Para la mayoría de los adultos, el virus se mantiene inactivo y nunca se produce la culebrilla. Sin embargo, para aproximadamente uno de cada tres adultos, el virus se activará nuevamente, causando esta enfermedad”, explican en la página del Instituto Nacional sobre el Envejecimiento, dependiente de los Institutos Nacionales de Salud de EEUU. Osorio añadió que como se sigue haciendo vigilancia farmacéutica a las vacunas y tanto las agencias sanitarias de todos los países como las empresas que desarrollan las inmunizaciones recopilan datos e informan sobre los casos que se presentan, un estudio de de mayo de 2022 encontró que el riesgo de desarrollar herpes zóster o culebrilla fue de 0.20% entre 1,095,086 personas vacunadas, que es un porcentaje muy bajo. “Las vacunas siguen demostrando su seguridad; la recomendación es vacunarse y completar los esquemas de vacunación”, insistió Osorio, quien es también profesora de la Escuela de Salud Pública de la Universidad del Valle en Cali, Colombia. Y como lo habíamos verificado en esta nota del 1 de junio de 2022, donde elDetector chequeó cuatro desinformaciones difundidas en el Facebook de Univision Noticias tras detectarse el primer caso en Estados Unidos de la viruela del mono, es falso que esta sea causada por la vacuna contra el covid-19, pues tiene su origen en el virus orthopoxvirus, que no está presente en las vacunas. Además, las vacunas disponibles en EEUU, entre ellas la de Pfizer, no utilizan virus para producir respuesta inmunitaria en las personas que reciben la inyección. #### Relacionados ##### La viruela del mono NO es \"la viruela de siempre\": desmontamos esa y otras 3 desinformaciones sobre la enfermedad Comparte #### Relacionados ##### Lo que sabemos sobre la transmisión de la viruela del mono a través de la lactancia materna Comparte ### La viruela del mono y el herpes zóster no son lo mismo En el referido video de tres minutos de duración en TikTok también se afirma que la viruela es el mismo herpes zóster “disfrazado”, pero no es así. Como verificamos en otro chequeo publicado por elDetector el 14 de junio de este año, el herpes zóster, también conocido como culebrilla, es una de las manifestaciones clínicas del virus varicela-zóster, que provoca la enfermedad de la varicela o también llamada lechina. No está vinculado con la viruela del mono, causada por otro tipo de virus. “Son de familias víricas diferentes y producen cosas muy diferentes”, nos dijo en esa oportunidad vía telefónica José Esparza, virólogo y profesor de la Universidad de Maryland. La viruela del mono es una enfermedad poco común originada, como indicamos ya, por la infección del orthopoxvirus, que forma parte de la misma familia de virus que el que causa la varicela. Los síntomas de estas dos son similares, indican los CDC en su sección de preguntas frecuentes sobre la viruela del mono, actualizada al 5 de agosto de 2022. ### Más sobre elDetector ![\\"Ni](\\" vice-presidencial- copy-2.jpg&width=1920&height=1080&ratio_width=160&ratio_height=120&resize_option=Crop%20Image&format=webp\\") NOTICIAS UNIVISION ### Ni el gobierno de Biden dio más de 100,000 millones de dólares a Irán, ni Trump construyó solo 2% del muro fronterizo: verificaciones del debate vicepresidencial 2024 14 min de lectura ![\\"Esa](\\" diddy-2.jpg&width=3200&height=1800&ratio_width=160&ratio_height=120&resize_option=Crop%20Image&format=webp\\") NOTICIAS UNIVISION ### Esa imagen de AMLO junto al rapero Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs no es real: está manipulada 3 min de lectura ![\\"Ese](\\" metaai.jpg&width=3200&height=1800&ratio_width=160&ratio_height=120&resize_option=Crop%20Image&format=webp\\") NOTICIAS UNIVISION ### Ese copypaste que lees de “Adiós Meta IA…” NO tiene incidencia sobre permisos concedidos previamente 6 min de lectura ![\\"Los](\\" NOTICIAS UNIVISION ### Los padrones electorales son precisos y están en permanente depuración 3 min de lectura ![\\"Desinformación](\\" factcheckers- copy.jpg&width=1920&height=1080&ratio_width=160&ratio_height=120&resize_option=Crop%20Image&format=webp\\") NOTICIAS UNIVISION ### Desinformación en elecciones: así puedes verificar por tu cuenta ese contenido que te parece sospechoso 6 min de lectura En cuanto a la forma de contagio es principalmente por contacto directo con personas infectadas o con artículos que ellas hayan tocado, pero también puede propagarse “por contacto directo con la boca, gotículas respiratorias y posiblemente a través de aerosoles de corto alcance”, indica la OMS en su sección de preguntas y respuestas sobre la viruela símica, como también se le conoce, actualizada al 4 de agosto de 2022. A diferencia del herpes zóster, la viruela del mono es una enfermedad zoonótica (que se transmite mayormente de animales a humanos) y tanto los síntomas como el tiempo de recuperación son distintos entre cada patología, como lo explicamos en la nota publicada a propósito del síndrome de Ramsay Hunt que padece el cantante Justin Bieber, a partir del cual surgieron también desinformaciones que relacionaban falsamente su afección con la viruela del mono. ### La viruela del mono no es “otra pandemia”: es una emergencia global de salud Otra afirmación que se difundió en el video de TikTok que verificamos tampoco es cierta. Las autoridades sanitarias no han declarado hasta la fecha de esta verificación que la viruela del mono se trate de una “pandemia”, como falsamente se señala en esa red social. Desde el 23 de julio de 2022, cuando el director general de la OMS, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, declaró la \"emergencia global de salud\" por el aumento de casos de viruela del mono a nivel mundial, no se ha cambiado este estatus hasta mediados de agosto del mismo año, cuando se publica este chequeo. Y aunque en EEUU, el 4 de agosto, el presidente Joe Biden la designó como una “emergencia de salud pública” para el país, la única pandemia declarada en la actualidad es la del coronavirus, que se oficializó en marzo de 2020 y aún no se da por concluida dada la alta incidencia de casos en el mundo. ### La creadora de contenidos en Tiktok no es médica ni viróloga En la breve biografía que ofrece en la red social, la usuaria que comparte este video en TikTok expone en su perfil: “No soy médico ni viróloga, pero investigo, leo y me educo”, pero no señala cuáles son las fuentes expertas y verificables de las que toma datos para respaldar las afirmaciones que expresa, lo que pone en cuestionamiento la credibilidad de sus afirmaciones. Entre los 150 videos que ha publicado a la fecha, resaltan numerosas mensajes antivacunas basados en falsedades, como que las inmunizaciones son una terapia “genética”, lo cual verificamos desde 2021 en elDetector junto a nuestros aliados de Factcheck.org como falso, así como otras teorías conspirativas, como las que vinculan a Bill Gates con el origen de la pandemia. ### Conclusión Es falso que el herpes zóster o culebrilla, como también se le conoce, sea un efecto de la vacuna contra el covid-19, pues no está dentro de los efectos secundarios reportados por la OMS y la FDA en sus más recientes actualizaciones. También es falso que la viruela del mono se trate de herpes zóster “disfrazado”, pues la viruela símica es causada por un virus diferente y tiene síntomas distintos al del herpes zóster, además de que tampoco es provocada por la vacuna contra el covid-19, como ya lo habíamos verificado en elDetector. Tampoco es cierto que la viruela del mono se trata “de otra pandemia”, pues hasta mediados de agosto de este año la OMS solo la ha declarado como “emergencia global de salud”. Estas falsedades fueron difundidas por una creadora de contenido en TikTok que publica numerosos videos con afirmaciones antivacunas, además de otras teorías conspirativas, aun cuando señala que no es médica ni viróloga, ni ofrece fuentes o datos verificables que respalden sus afirmaciones.

A Sept. 6 post on LifeNews.com strikes a similar note with a story bearing this headline about a Democratic presidential candidate: \"Pete Buttigieg claims Bible says babies can be aborted up to their first breath.\" This story was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.) The LifeNews.com story, which originated on The Daily Caller under a different headline, cites a Sept. 6 interview Buttigieg did on \"The Breakfast Club,\" a syndicated radio show out of New York. The story links to a video of the interview, starting about 35 minutes into the 48-minute conversation. Buttigieg, former mayor of South Bend, Ind., talks about how the current Republican Party conflicts with Christian values like helping those in need, and how there will be \"a reckoning\" over it. Then he says: \"Right now they hold everyone one in line with this one kinda piece of doctrine about abortion, right, which is obviously a tough issue for a lot of people to think through morally. Then again, there’s a lot of parts of the Bible that talk about how life begins with breath, and so even that is something that we can interpret differently.\" #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" ![](\\" Elizabeth Warren stated on August 25, 2024 in an interview “JD Vance actually sent a letter last year to the Department of Justice saying, ‘enforce the Comstock Act.’” ![\\"true\\"](\\" true/3d4df195c595a07e3fd69b5e4aab3e3c.jpg.\\") ![\\"true\\"](\\" true.jpg\\") By Samantha Putterman • August 30, 2024 The host interjects and says, \"I’m pro-choice.\" Buttigieg replies, \"Me too.

there, but the most important thing is the person who should be drawing the line is the woman making the decision.\" The story includes this context but the headline overreaches by saying \"Pete

Really? Democratic U.S. Rep. Kyrsten Sinema says she’s looking out for older Arizonans, and her voting record backs her up. In her bid for U.S. Senate, Sinema pointed to her vote against a \"new age tax.\" \"We need to make it easier for Arizonans to afford their health care. That’s why I voted to stop a new ‘age tax’ on coverage for people age 50 and over,\" Sinema tweeted Sept. 8. Her tweet included an image with text that said: \"Arizonans age 50 & over could be charged 5 times more for their health care under the ‘age tax’.\" > We need to make it easier for Arizonans to afford their health care. That’s > why I voted to stop a new “age tax” on coverage for people age 50 and over. > #AZSen pic.twitter.com/g6Ydh7xkna > > — Kyrsten Sinema (@kyrstensinema) September 8, 2018 Sinema is campaigning against Republican U.S. Rep. Martha McSally for the seat held by retiring Republican Sen. Jeff Flake. The election is Nov. 6. Did Sinema vote to stop a new \"age tax\" that could have charged Arizonans 50 years and older five times more for their health care? Sinema in 2017 voted against a Republican bill that allowed insurance companies to charge certain people 50 and older up to five times more what they would charge younger adults. It wasn\'t a \"tax\" levied by the government. The bill would have increased the cap by which people could charge some people over 50. Her claim mimics attacks we’ve seen against Republicans, omitting the same caveats: This provision applied to people buying insurance on the individual and small-group markets. It didn’t apply to seniors on Medicare, or to people 50 and older with coverage sponsored by large employers. Current law allows insurers to charge older adults three times what they charge younger adults. American Health Care Act’s 5-to-1 provision The American Health Care Act was part of an effort to repeal the 2010 health care law signed by President Barack Obama. The bill retained some parts of the Obama-era law, including the prohibition on insurance companies from denying coverage for a pre-existing health problem. The Republican bill passed the House in May 2017 by a vote of 217-213, with Sinema voting against it and McSally for it. The Senate failed to pass its own measure. Before Obamacare, as the Republicans called it, older adults paid about four or five times more for premiums than what younger adults paid, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation analysis. Obamacare changed the rules so that insurance companies could still charge older adults more than younger adults, but only by up to three times. Here’s a sample of the 2018 age rating curve: • A 50-year-old pays 1.786 times the amount that a younger person pays; #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" Instagram_logo_2016.svg/322c808c00e73c217d17772ddd5a0eb5.jpg\\") ![](\\" Instagram_logo_2016.svg/8b142c91ebe468a84a192e6df2b7b994.jpg\\") Instagram posts stated on August 11, 2024 in an Instagram post Craigslist ad shows “every single person” at Kamala Harris’ Arizona rally was paid. ![\\"true\\"](\\" false/33efdb6633e5e2fdc2d4e2f63383a1e0.jpg.\\") ![\\"false\\"](\\" false.jpg\\") By Sofia Ahmed • August 13, 2024 • A 55-year-old pays 2.230 times the amount that a younger person pays; and • Someone 64 and older pays 3 times the amount that a younger person pays. The 2017 House bill that Sinema voted against sought to increase the ratio to 5-to-1 for certain adults over 50. It allowed states to set a different ratio. However, the proposal didn’t apply to seniors on Medicare, or people older than 50 who had coverage through large employers. Katie Keith, a researcher for the Center on Health Insurance Reforms at Georgetown University, said the policy change would have made overall premiums \"significantly more unaffordable.\" The Trump administration would have to figure out how to set an age rating curve, Keith said, \"but all of these numbers would shift up significantly, even if not five times as much, at all ages over 50.\" The age rating works on a curve that increases with each year of age (for adults), so \"it\'s probably most accurate to say that seniors 50 and over could be charged up to 5 times more,\" Keith said. It\'s an open question as to whether Arizona would have set a different ratio under the Republican repeal, Keith said. Under current law, states can request ratios less than the federal standard, but Arizona — like most states — hasn’t done that, Keith said. The 2017 health care bill also could have increased health care costs for older adults, because the legislation would have replaced income-based tax credits with a credit based on age. Under the proposal, adults under 30 would get a $2,000 credit; adults over 60, a $4,000 credit; and individuals who made more than $75,000 annually (or a couple who filed jointly earning $150,000) would have tax credits phased out. According to AARP calculations, under AHCA, 50- to 64-year-olds making $25,000 annually would be eligible for tax credits that are on average 50 to 80 percent less than what they would receive under current law. \"Generally, people who are older, lower-income, or live in high-premium areas (like Alaska and Arizona) receive less financial assistance under the AHCA,\" said a Kaiser Family Foundation analysis. \"Additionally, older people would have higher starting premiums under the AHCA and would therefore pay higher premiums.\" Our ruling Sinema said she voted to stop a new \"age tax,\" under which \"Arizonans age 50 & over could be charged 5 times more for their health care.\" Sinema voted against the Republican effort to repeal Obamacare, which would have allowed companies to charge individuals 50 and over up to five times more than what they charged younger adults. Sinema’s ad glosses over a few important points. The bill’s provision only applied to people who bought insurance through the individual and small-group markets. It wouldn’t have applied to people on Medicare (and are 65 and older) or with coverage through larger employers. The current health care law allows insurers to charge this age group three times as much for insurance as younger adults. Although Sinema\'s tweet references a \"new\" age tax, it may be unclear to some that the charges wouldn’t be fives time more than the current situation. Sinema’s statement is partially accurate but leaves out important details. We rate it Half True.

(Mike De Sisti/Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) ![\\"Tom](\\" By Tom Kertscher February 2, 2018 # How legal immigrants to U.S. break down by \'chain migration,\' diversity- refugees-asylum and work President Donald Trump drew boos when he said during his first State of the Union address that under what Republicans call \"chain migration\" -- and Democrats refer to as family reunification -- a \"single immigrant can bring in virtually unlimited numbers of distant relatives.\" PolitiFact National rated his claim Mostly False. Lawful permanent residents (green card holders) can petition for a spouse and unmarried children to come to the United States; and U.S. citizens can also petition for married children, parents and siblings. But neither permanent residents nor citizens can directly petition for an aunt, uncle, cousin, niece, nephew, in-law relative or grandparent. Nevertheless, Trump’s remark underscores a broader claim made by U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., on the ways in which legal immigrants enter the United States. Johnson’s claim is different than Trump’s, but helps provide a clearer picture of the sources of legal immigration. Johnson’s claim On Jan. 12, 2018, more than two weeks before the State of the Union, Johnson was interviewed about immigration on Wisconsin Public Television’s \"Here and Now\" show. He said he wants to limit \"the abuse of chain migration\" and then made a four-part statistical claim, telling host Frederica Freyberg: From my standpoint, we have got to start closing the loopholes created by bad law, bad legal precedent that incentivize people to come to this country illegally. We have to limit \"chain migration\" to a common-sense level. Right now, Frederica, we let about 1.1 million people in this country legally -- in terms of permanent, legal residence -- every year. Sixty-five percent of that is some kind of \"chain migration\"; 22 percent is diversity lottery, \"asyling\" and refugees. Only about 14, 15 percent has anything to do with work. That is a crazy system, when you have literally millions -- probably hundreds of millions of people want to come to this country -- we can’t assimilate all those people. We’ve got to limit and we’ve got to limit it on a merit-based system. So, we’ve got to fix our system. Chain migration, Johnson continued, \"allows an immigrant to allow in their parents, their children -- but what ends up happening is, it does chain, where those people can bring in their children, their parents; and all of a sudden, one individual and you’ve got cousins and adult children and adult siblings -- that’s what we need to limit to something that just makes common sense.\" As we’ll see, three parts of Johnson’s four-part claim are essentially on target. But a major part of his claim -- saying that 65 percent of legal immigration is through \"chain migration\" -- is misleading. Johnson’s breakdown To back Johnson’s claim, his office cited data from from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security yearbook of immigration statistics. The first part of his claim, on the total number of legal immigrants -- 1.18 million in 2016 -- is correct. As for the other three parts, here are figures for 2016, the latest year available, based on how Johnson breaks down legal immigrants: \"Chain migration\" 804,793 -- 68% #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" ![](\\" JD Vance stated on August 16, 2024 in a post on X “Kamala Harris wants to give $25,000 to illegal aliens to buy American homes.” ![\\"true\\"](\\" false/33efdb6633e5e2fdc2d4e2f63383a1e0.jpg.\\") ![\\"false\\"](\\" false.jpg\\") By Madison Czopek • August 22, 2024 Diversity lottery, refugees, asylees and other 240,819 -- 20% Work-related 137,893 -- 12% (Diversity lottery allocates visas to individuals from countries with historically low rates of immigration to U.S.; a refugee is a person outside his or her country of nationality who is unable or unwilling to return to his or her country of nationality because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution; an asylee is a person who meets the definition of refugee and is already present in the United States or is seeking admission at a port of entry.) So, Johnson’s claim -- based on the way he breaks down immigration groups -- is within several percentage points on the second and third categories for 2016. Moreover, those two percentages have been roughly stable for years, experts told us. But his reference to \"chain migration\" -- a relatively new term in the Washington lexicon that the New York Times says has been \"weaponized\" to sway public opinion \-- is misleading in alluding to the immigration of extended-family members. Individuals in that category are admitted to the United States based on family relationships, as opposed to the other two categories Johnson cites. But in round numbers, only 120,000 of the 800,000 immigrants that Johnson lists as \"chain migration\" were not the spouses, children or parents, according to Stephen Legomsky, a Washington University law professor emeritus and immigration law specialist. That means extended-family members, based on Johnson’s categories, make up only 10 percent of the 1.18 million total legal immigrants. Syracuse University political science professor Elizabeth Cohen, whose specialties include immigration, told us: This idea that an immigrant receives a visa and all of a sudden five or 10 close and distant relatives are being pulled in on a chain is completely unrepresentative of how our immigration system actually works. Our rating Johnson says about 1.1 million people legally enter the U.S. each year as permanent residents -- \"65 percent of that is some kind of chain migration; 22 percent is diversity lottery, ‘asyling,’ refugees; only about 14, 15 percent has anything to do with work.\" He’s correct on the total number, and his breakdown of two of the categories is essentially on target. But to say that 65 percent come through \"chain migration\" -- which typically refers to the extended-family members of an immigrant in the United States -- is misleading. The vast majority of individuals in that group are spouses, children or parents, not more distant relatives. Johnson’s statement is partially accurate but leaves out important details -- our definition of Half True.

Let’s fact- check this claim through this article. ![\\"\\"](\\" GIrl-01-1024x739.jpeg\\") > Claim: Photo of a girl who saw the Hiroshima nuclear bomb blast in Japan in > 1945. > > Fact: This picture was captured by a Swedish photographer named Christer > Strömholm in 1963. This photo is uploaded on his official website with the > caption, The Blind Girl- Hiroshima 1963. It is therefore not possible that > she could have witnessed the nuclear blast in 1945. Hence the claim made in > the post is MISLEADING. We performed a reverse image search using the photo in the post and found the same image in a few auction websites (here and here), which credited this photo to Swedish photographer Christer Strömholm. Further investigation led us to the official website of Christer Strömholm, in which this photo was available. It is captioned ‘ The Blind Girl- Hiroshima 1963.’ ![\\"\\"](\\" GIrl-02-696x1024.jpg\\") The Hiroshima Nuclear bomb blast happened in 1945; if this girl were even one year old at that time, by 1963, she would be 19 years. But the girl in the picture does not look like a 19 year old. Although the photo was taken in Hiroshima, the viral post misquotes it as the picture of a child who had seen the nuclear bomb blast. The same picture was earlier debunked by Snopes. Snopes stated that “It might be the case that the pictured girl’s blindness was not directly caused by her exposure to the nuclear blast itself, but by something that took place much later in the aftermath of that blast, including a congenital disorder in a child born to survivors who were exposed to radiation.” To summarise, this post shares a visually impaired girl’s photo with an incorrect caption that she saw the Nuclear blast in Hiroshima in 1945. ![\\"Factly\\"](\\" WhatsApp-channel-minified-scaled.jpeg\\") Share.

Rating: True About this rating In the final days of the U.K. general election campaign in December 2019, controversy erupted over a photograph taken at Leeds General Infirmary, in the northern county of Yorkshire, which appeared to show a young boy sleeping on the floor due to a lack of available beds. However, a wave of Facebook and Twitter posts later appeared to undermine the authenticity of the image, claiming insider information that cast the episode as a stunt designed to damage the Conservative Party government, and boost the main opposition Labour Party. As a result of that uncertainty, we received multiple inquiries from Snopes readers about the authenticity of, and context surrounding, the photograph. Advertisement: In reality, the photograph was authentic, and the context and account provided by the boy\'s mother — that he was forced to sleep on the floor due to the unavailability of beds — was confirmed by hospital authorities who have since apologized. Viral social media posts claiming to have proof that the photograph was staged \"propaganda\" were in fact themselves bogus, and part of a wave of misinformation, likely coordinated, and potentially with sinister intent. ![\\"\\"](\\" Advertisement: On Dec. 8, The Yorkshire Evening Post was the first to report on the experience of 4-year-old Jack Williment-Barr after he was brought by ambulance on Dec. 3 to the infirmary with suspected pneumonia. That article included the now-famous photograph of the boy lying on coats on the floor of the hospital, covered in a blanket and with an oxygen mask. The boy\'s mother, Sarah Williment, told the Post he had been forced to wait in a clinical treatment room for four hours, and went 13 hours without access to a bed, such was the overcrowding at the hospital on that day. Hospital authorities confirmed Williment\'s account and offered a personal apology to her and Jack, as the Post reported: > Dr Yvette Oade, Chief Medical Officer at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust > said: > > “Our hospitals are extremely busy at the moment and we are very sorry that > Jack’s family had a long wait in our Emergency Department. Our Chief > Executive Julian Hartley has spoken to Jack’s mum and offered a personal > apology. We have seen a significant increase in the number of people > visiting our Paediatric Emergency Department, and this week we saw the > highest attendances we have seen since April 2016. Despite this, our staff > are working tirelessly to provide the best possible care under these extreme > pressures. > > \"Jack was quickly assessed upon arrival and seen in two different clinical > treatment rooms in the Paediatric Emergency Department.Within four hours a > decision was made to admit Jack to our Children’s Assessment and Treatment > (CAT) Unit for further monitoring overnight. Unfortunately, the unit was > also experiencing exceptionally high levels of demand which meant that Jack > was required to wait in the clinical treatment room in the Paediatric > Emergency Department until a bed became available. Jack was admitted to the > CAT Unit later that evening and was discharged home the following morning > after a medical review. > > \"We are extremely sorry that there were only chairs available in the > treatment room, and no bed. This falls below our usual high standards, and > for this we would like to sincerely apologise to Jack and his family.\" Advertisement: The article, and in particular the photograph, quickly developed into a major national news story in the U.K., and the widely read national tabloid newspaper the Daily Mirror ran the story, with the photograph, on its front page, the following morning, along with the headline \"DESPERATE -- Picture that shames Tories\": Williment-Barr\'s experience also became a significant moment in the general election campaign. The opposition Labour Party had already made the National Health Service (NHS), and the ruling Conservatives\' management of it, a central plank in its election messaging. When the Leeds story broke, the party and its leader, Jeremy Corbyn, seized upon it: Advertisement: Advertisement: The damage to the Conservative Party government was exacerbated when Prime Minister Boris Johnson initially refused to look at the photograph of Williment-Barr, when presented it by a journalist, and even took the journalist\'s phone and put it in his own pocket. He later looked at the photograph and apologized for taking the phone, and offered an apology to the boy\'s family: #### \'A good friend of mine\' Advertisement: Then, something strange happened. Within a day of the story\'s first breaking, Facebook and Twitter were populated with a wave of posts attacking the credibility of the photograph, and claiming to have inside information from Leeds General Infirmary that showed that the image of Williment-Barr was no more than a stunt and \"Momentum propaganda,\" a reference to the left-wing movement within Labour, which is regarded as a reliable and vocal source of support for Corbyn\'s leadership of the party. The posts were identical, meaning they could not have been authentic. They read as follows: \"Very interesting. A good friend of mine is a senior nursing sister at Leeds Hospital - the boy shown on the floor by the media was in fact put there by his mother who then took photos on her mobile phone and uploaded it to media outlets before he climbed back onto his trolley. He was on a hospital trolley in the paediatric [accident and emergency] having been seen within 20 minutes. I am a nurse myself and am so pissed off with fake news, yes the NHS is a mess mainly caused by people misusing it and lack of elderly care. Think of the nurses and Doctors who are doing their jobs instead of constantly slagging them off. another Momentum Propaganda story. Disgraceful.\" ![\\"\\"](\\" Advertisement: ![\\"\\"](\\" Advertisement: #### \'A style of O2 mask\' On Dec. 9 and 10, a second wave of identical posts spread on Facebook and Twitter, again seeking to undermine the credibility of Sarah Williment\'s account of her son\'s experience. This time, each of the posters claimed -- using the exact same wording -- that they themselves were \"a former paediatric A&E [accident and emergency] and PICU [pediatric intensive care unit] nurse.\" This second bogus post read as follows: Advertisement: \"I’m a former paediatric A&E and PICU nurse and that child has a style of O2 mask in front of him that requires 6-8l/min to inflate like that. If a child needed that amount of O2 they’d be in resus for proper monitoring. He’d also have a cannula and be propped head up.\" Advertisement: It\'s not clear who or what entity was behind what appears to have been two coordinated disinformation responses to the Leeds hospital photograph, but the posts were clearly intended to distract and confuse the British public, and limit the damage done to the Conservative Party, only a few days before voters went to the polls, on Dec. 12. #### Sources Sheridan, Daniel. \"\'It Was Chaos\': Shocking Photo Shows Leeds Four-Year-Old With Suspected Pneumonia Forced to Sleep on Floor of LGI Due to Lack of Beds.\" The Yorkshire Evening Post. 8 December 2019.

(AP) ![\\"Samantha](\\" By Samantha Putterman November 20, 2020 ![\\"Amy](\\" By Amy Sherman November 20, 2020 ![\\"Miriam](\\" By Miriam Valverde November 20, 2020 #### If Your Time is short * President Donald Trump\'s legal team, led by his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, held a 90-minute press conference in an effort to lay out its case of widespread voter fraud in the U.S. voting system. * The briefing was filled with falsehoods and conspiracy theories. During a 90-minute press conference led by Rudy Giuliani, lawyers representing President Donald Trump made their best case to overturn an election Trump lost to Joe Biden. Their case invoked the TV show \"Law & Order,\" the movie \"My Cousin Vinny,\" Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez, Mickey Mouse, antifa, and the Philadelphia Eagles football team. Tying it all together were persistent and inaccurate claims about alleged voter fraud, affidavits, and corruption. \"The facts matter. The truth matters,\" said Jenna Ellis, a senior legal adviser for Trump’s campaign. But many of the statements made by Giuliani and Sidney Powell, a former federal prosecutor and Trump campaign attorney, were demonstrably false. Here’s a fact-checked recap of the Trump campaign’s claims. Giuliani: \"Joe Biden told us a few days before the election, that he had the best voter fraud team in the world.\" False. Giuliani is referencing a video excerpt that takes Biden’s words out of context and misrepresents the substance of what he said. In late October, Biden spoke on the pro-Democratic program, \"Pod Save America.\" He did use the words \"voter fraud organization,\" but he was describing a project to help people learn where and how to vote, and provide legal resources if they faced challenges to voting, not an effort to cast false ballots. You can read a full transcript here. Giuliani, on a lawsuit filed in Michigan: \"Trump v. Benson is a case that we dismissed today because that case was attempting to get the Wayne County Board of Supervisors to decertify. Well, they did. They decertified.\" They didn’t decertify. In Wayne County, Mich., two Republican members of the county canvassing board initially voted against certifying the results, but later changed their votes and certified the results 4-0 on Nov. 17. The next day, the same two Republicans said they wanted to rescind their votes, which the Michigan secretary of state’s office said isn’t possible. The statewide board still has to certify the statewide total. The board meets on Nov. 23. Giuliani, asserting that election fraud goes back years: \"They held the vote back in Palm Beach County and Broward County, in order to see if they could steal that election for the Senate and governor, and then got caught manufacturing ballots. Democrats have been doing this for years on a small scale.\" This is wrong on many fronts. In November 2018, then-Gov. Rick Scott alleged fraud in the ballot counting in two left-leaning counties, Palm Beach and Broward. Trump echoed Scott’s remarks about Broward. Ultimately, Scott won his race for U.S. Senate in a statewide recount, as did Republican Ron DeSantis in the governor’s race. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement, a state agency in a Republican administration, launched an investigation about allegations of vote-by-mail fraud by Democrats. More than a year later in May 2020, FDLE closed the investigation after finding no evidence of fraudulent intent. Broward’s Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes resigned after the 2018 recount. While Broward had a history of errors and lawsuits, that does not equal fraud. Palm Beach Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher, who blew recount deadlines, was later suspended by DeSantis. But slow vote counting also does not equal fraud. Giuliani: \"The minute that you separate the outer envelope from the ballot, you can no longer trace it, which is why the count, whatever the count in Georgia today is, it\'s totally ridiculous. They\'re counting the same fraudulent ballots one more time.\" This is a mischaracterization of how mail-in voting works — and it overlooks a core element of the U.S. system of voting: the secret ballot. We rated a related claim from Trump Pants on Fire. First, there is no evidence of widespread fraudulent ballots in Georgia. The mail-in vote happened as expected. Second, each mail-in ballot has a sleeve or envelope that the voter must sign. Election workers match the signature to voter records. If the signature is verified and complies with the law, the ballot is separated from the envelope to protect the privacy of the vote. \"There is no way to go back and review signatures after they’ve been separated from the ballots, and there’d be no reason to do so,\" David Becker, head of the private Center for Election Innovation and Research, told PolitiFact. Giuliani: \"This has been a massive attack on the integrity of the voting system in the greatest democracy on earth.\" There is zero evidence for \"massive\" election fraud. A committee made up of U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency officials and its election partners said this election was \"the most secure in American history.\" There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised, they said. Multiple security measures like pre-election testing, state certification of voting equipment, and the U.S. Election Assistance Commission’s certification of voting equipment were used in the 2020 election, the officials said. ![](\\" Rudy Giuliani, left, listens to Sidney Powell, both lawyers for President Donald Trump, during a news conference at the Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington, Nov. 19, 2020. (AP) Giuliani: In Michigan, votes \"were being counted in Germany, by a Venezuelan company.\" This is wrong. Michigan election workers counted the votes. \"The 30,000 election workers we recruited through our Democracy MVP program and the 1,600+ local clerks working tirelessly around the state with them until the counting was completed can attest that votes were counted here in Michigan,\" Tracy Wimmer, a spokesperson for Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, told PolitiFact. Powell at the press conference also claimed two companies that supply election technology, Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic, were created in Venezuela under the direction of the country’s former president, Hugo Chavez, who died in 2013. Both companies, which are competitors, have pushed backed on the broad allegations. Dominion said it does not have \"any ties to Venezuela.\" Smartmatic said it \"does not have any ties to any governments or political parties in any country. It has never been owned, funded or backed by any government.\" Giuliani: Affiants swear \"that at 4:30 in the morning, a truck pulled up to the Detroit center where they were counting ballots. The people thought it was food, so they all ran to the truck. Wasn’t food. It was thousands and thousands of ballots.\" This is not true. Giuliani’s assertion relies on allegations in a lawsuit that a judge determined were unfounded. Republicans filed a lawsuit that alleges fraud at Detroit’s TCF Center where election workers were counting ballots. For example, Mellissa Carone, an IT contractor for Dominion Voting Systems, stated in an affidavit that people thought vans were delivering food but, \"I never saw any food coming out of these vans, coincidentally it was announced on the news that Michigan had discovered over 100,000 ballots.\" Wayne County Circuit Judge Timothy Kenny found the allegations lacking. He wrote that the description of events \"does not square with any of the other affidavits\" and that \"the allegations are simply not credible.\" Kenny rejected the plaintiff’s requests, including for an independent audit. On Nov. 16, the Michigan Court of Appeals denied a request to appeal Kenny’s ruling. Giuliani: In Michigan, \"we have over-votes in numerous precincts of 150%, 200% and 300%.\" Pants on Fire! The numbers come from an affidavit filed by lawyers working for Trump, but the jurisdictions cited are in Minnesota, not Michigan. Furthermore, the Minnesota data cited in the affidavit do not square with actual data from the Minnesota Secretary of State’s office. The official data shows no over-voting. A Trump campaign lawyer acknowledged a \"simple mistake\" and said the document would be \"corrected.\" Powell: \"Now the software itself was created with so many variables and so many back doors that can be hooked up to the internet or a thumb drive stuck in it or whatever, but one of its most characteristic features is its ability to flip votes.\" This is Pants on Fire, and a repeat of previous claims Powell has made that voting machines run by Dominion, Smartmatic and other companies were created to change the results of the election. Dominion and Smartmatic are two separate companies that make electronic voting systems — neither was created for \"changing the results of elections.\" Dominion was founded in 2003 and has headquarters in Denver and Toronto. Its technology is used to administer elections in 28 states, including some states that went for Trump. Smartmatic, which was founded in Boca Raton, Fla., in 2000 and is now based in London. Its technology also wasn’t used in any of the battleground states won by Biden where Trump allies are disputing the results. Since Election Day, Dominion has been the subject of disinformation that seeks to undermine confidence in the integrity of the vote. We previously rated as Pants on Fire a claim that the company flipped votes from Trump to Biden in states where the president has brought legal challenges. Powell: \"There are ties of the Dominion leadership to the Clinton Foundation and to other known politicians in this country.\" Given a flood of misinformation about its company and the election in general, Dominion on its website set up a page dispelling rumors, including this one: \"Dominion has no company ownership relationships with the Pelosi family, Feinstein family, Clinton Global Initiative, Smartmatic, Scytl, or any ties to Venezuela. Dominion works with all U.S. political parties; our customer base and our government outreach practices reflect this nonpartisan approach.\" We looked into one blog post that claimed a lobbyist for Dominion is a \"longtime aide\" to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Lobbyist Nadeam Elshami worked for Pelosi, but the blog post failed to mention that two other lobbyists listed on the company’s disclosures used to work for Republicans.

In recent weeks, the large number of deaths from Covid-19 in Brazil has caused that an old subject of the pandemic came back to the surface: the use of treatments premature births without scientific proof. And the most discussed topic in recent days, on social media, has not been other. Recently, a story involving early treatment with Ivermectin has spread on the internet. According to a publication, the municipality of Maxaranguape (RN) would have zeroed deaths and hospitalizations due to Covid-19 after adopting early treatment with ivermectin. The proof would be in a video, where the city's mayor comments on the positive situation in the municipality during an interview. Check it out: Version 1: “The municipality of Maxaranguape (RN) did not record any deaths and did not There have been no cases of ICU and urgency due to Covid since the beginning of Monday wave of the pandemic. And guess how Mayor Luís Eduardo achieved this done!". Version 2: “The municipality of Maxaranguape (RN) did not register any death and there were no cases of ICU and urgency due to covid since the beginning of the second wave of the Chinese virus pandemic. In an interview last week, the city mayor stated that the success in combating the pandemic is due to early treatment with ivermectin and other initiatives, including barriers sanitary and inspection”. ## Maxaranguape reduced deaths and hospitalizations due to Covid-19 with early treatment and ivermectin? The information fell like a bomb on social media, especially on Facebook and was even shared by denialist politicians. However, the story it's not real. Not long ago, several false stories about miracles involving Early treatments in Brazilian cities appeared on the internet. The team at Boatos.org denied several of them, such as those that talked about the municipalities of São Lourenço (MG), Rancho Queimado (SC) and Búzios (RJ). Well, this story that the drug ivermectin could cure or treating Covid-19 emerged in 2020. At the time, a scientific study showed, in in vitro tests (in the laboratory), that ivermectin could eliminate SARS- CoV-2. However, the dose needed for this to happen would be 100 times greater than the maximum recommended dose for adults. In other words, an extremely toxic in laboratory tests (where results might not be repeated in in vivo tests, that is, in humans). At the time, unfortunately, many people ended up publicizing the research in the wrong way, talking only about the supposed benefit, without mentioning the toxic dosage. And that's where it all started. In February 2021, the pharmaceutical company MSD, manufacturer of the drug, issued a statement stating that ivermectin is not effective against Covid-19. Furthermore, on March 24, 2021, the Hospital de Clínicas da Universidade State of Campinas (HC/Unicamp) identified the first case of hepatitis medication through the use of the so-called “Covid kit”. According to the institution, the patient was referred from another hospital in São Paulo with the indication of liver transplant. If that weren't enough, in the video itself, the mayor does not mention the “treatment early” as the main protective measure. According to Mayor Luis Eduardo, the greater emphasis was on restriction measures, barriers health and inspection. So much so that when asked about the treatment early, Mayor Luis Eduardo is categorical: the medicine is only provided with medical prescription (which, of course, is also not right, but on a level of absurd, this action is a little further from the top). Unfortunately, this story of zero deaths and hospitalizations due to Covid-19 is not another reality. Data from the City of Maxaranguape (RN) show that a person died from Covid-19 between March 18 and 20, 2021. While Therefore, in the last bulletin released by City Hall, the municipality registered 2 hospitalizations. It is worth mentioning that, according to data from IBGE 2020, the The municipality has around 12,500 inhabitants. In other words: it is a small municipality. In summary: the story that says that Maxaranguape (RN) had zero deaths and hospitalizations by Covid-19 after using early treatment with ivermectin is false! In the video, the mayor states that he adopted other restriction measures, such as barriers health and inspection. Furthermore, the use of ivermectin has been proven to does not bring benefits against Covid-19. Finally, this story of zero deaths and hospitalizations is no longer real. Between March 18th and 20th, 2021, the The municipality recorded one death and two hospitalizations. In other words, the story It's just a rumor.

These will be the lowest temperatures in the last 50 years, which we can reach up to -19 ºC. Just as there are diseases, fruits or even seasonal habits, there are also which we can call “seasonal rumors”. One that returned to circulation at the beginning of winter 2021 is what indicates that there is a great “maximum cold alert extreme” record for the southern region of Brazil. The message points to a “potent mass of polar air the likes of which have not been seen before.” 50 years old.” The text still points to temperatures well below 0 ºC. THE The text goes so far as to say that thermometers can register up to -19 ºC. Read the message that circulates online and has gone viral on social networks and WhatsApp: > ## Check out the denial on video: > > ## _MAXIMUM ALERT OF EXTREME COLD! Attention! From the 4th and mainly from 05 to 07/07 a powerful mass of polar air advances through the south of Brazil, as hadn't been seen in over 50 years. Computer simulations indicate extreme temperatures in the state of Rio Grande do Sul below zero degrees!!! The cold will be Too intense, like we haven't seen in years! Widespread negative temperatures and strong frost._ _The region of Santa Maria, CruZ alta, Ijuí, Santo Ângelo will be able to register between -7 and -12°C. In the Serra Paranaense the cold comes with intensity and in the regions of Palmas, Pinhão and Guarapuava temperatures can reach close to –10°C negatives; Guarapuava region, Sol Nascente farm in Guairaca the forecast temperatures reaching -15°C. Lagoa Seca, Três Pinhero and Arraiá do Cassava – 12⁰C._ _Municipal civil defense, it is highly recommended to initiate a plan for street and low-income moderators, and humanitarian aid from everyone will be well coming!!! The cold will be extreme, don't leave your houses at night and keep a close eye on the windows!!! In the mountains of Rio Grande do Sul and Catarinense, temperatures of up to -19°C (minus 19 degrees). Updates in the next few days! We ask for help from the entire population!!! Chaos alert due to negative lows and super cold front!!! Like it hasn't been seen in over fifty years!!! Risk of snow ❄ in the whole South!!!_ ## Maximum alert for extreme cold with lowest temperatures in the last 50 Is it real? It is a fact that the southern states of the country suffer from low temperatures all the years and that there is a cold forecast for this winter. However, the message exaggerates a lot when talking about the greatest cold of the last 50 years and temperatures of -19ºC. In fact, Boatos.org denied an identical text last year. Before Furthermore, we had already denied similar texts (about extreme cold warnings) on two occasions in 2018 (check here and here). Furthermore, the text in question has characteristics of online rumors such as vague, alarmist character, errors in Portuguese and lack of citation of sources reliable. If that wasn't enough, when searching for the cold weather announcement, nothing we found (the most popular text on the network is our denial from 2020). As we said last year, a temperature like the one presented in the message (-19ºC) would not only be the coldest in the last 50 years but would also be the coldest in the country's history. However, when looking for the temperatures of In the coming days, there is no (not even close) forecast of temperatures like the one described. In the aforementioned cities in Rio Grande do Sul, the lowest weather forecast for the days mentioned is 8ºC. In cities in Paraná, the highest temperature forecast low is also 8 ºC. Cold, very cold. However, not even close to the temperatures cited. In short: the text that circulates online and talks about temperatures of up to -19ºC in cities in the southern region of Brazil it is false. In reality, it is a text which has already been denied a few times on Boatos.org and which this year is not being different. Ps.: This article is a suggestion from Boatos.org readers.

He would have talked about in a new era in China and the world, that the army continues to grow and in an inevitable war. Since the son of the President of the Republic, Eduardo Bolsonaro, published posts saying that China would be responsible for the new pandemic coronavirus, there is no shortage of rumors on the internet related to the China. In today's story, we're going to talk about a supposed speech by the president of the country, Xi Jinping. According to a video that is going viral on the internet, the president of China he would have said that a new era would begin in China and in the world. He also would have said that the army continues to grow in quantity and quality, that China will never be humiliated again (as it would have been in World War II World War) and that war will be inevitable and fatal. Watch the video and read message circulating online: Message: Chinese President Xi Jinping announced that the third war Chinese President Xi Jinping announced that the third world war world is inevitable and that the Chinese army is ready to defend its territory and its international interests. He also said that a new era is coming begins, whether we are ready or not. Caption: We are about to begin the beginning of a new era in China and the world. Whether you are ready or not. Our economy has never been better. Our army continues to grow in quantity and quality. At sea in earth and in heaven, we will win! China will never be humiliated again. As in second world war. No one will say what has to be done here. You will understand this message briefly. We always want dialogue, but “they want war”. This will happen, it will be fatal! We will not bow, it will be inevitable. China is inevitable. We are inevitable. If you want to know what your past was like, look for who you are today. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst and accept what come. ## President of China, Xi Jinping, gave a speech talking about a new era, army and inevitable war? The video circulated widely on the internet and left many people worried. with what China can do “with the world”. But will the speech of the Is President Xi Jinping real? The answer is no. Calm down and we'll explain everything for you. Right away, the message already makes us suspicious. In addition to the video having some Portuguese errors in the translation, the message that accompanies it is alarmist, vague and does not cite reliable sources. Furthermore, accusatory rumors against China have been common in recent years. times. We have already debunked stories that said China had carried out a coup by purchasing shares of foreign companies, which created the coronavirus to “winning the Third World War”, which owns the Band and created Covid-19 in a “coup”. Rumors that use false subtitles in language videos are also common. foreigners. There was a story that talked about a “Russian general speaking about the 1964 coup”, about the video of Putin talking about the new order world, from a German commentator and from the guy who humiliated Lula in the European parliament. In all cases, the caption had nothing to do with the video content. As in other cases, the caption has nothing to do with the content. It was enough do a search to discover that the video in question is a New Year's speech new from 2019, recorded on the last day of 2018. Below, you can see the video with English subtitles. This website translated the speech (if you want to see the full translation, click here). See what Xi Jinping said in the excerpt that was published as a “declaration of war”: Time stops for no one, and the seasons change constantly.” With 2019 at door, I would like to extend my best wishes to everyone here in Beijing you. 2018 was a year that we went through with determination and many achievements. This year, by overcoming various risks and challenges, we promoted high-quality economic development, we accelerate the replacement of old driving forces with new ones, and we maintained economic operation at a reasonable range. We dedicate our efforts to fighting to defend the blue sky, water clean and unpolluted land, we accelerate the development of several programs related to the well-being of the population and we constantly raise the your standard of living. The strategies were still stably implemented national, such as the coordinated development of the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region, the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt and the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area It is also worth mentioning that the translation contains some information that does not match the reality. In addition to the Chinese economy, precisely because of the new coronavirus is not doing well (as are other economies in the world), it does not It makes sense to say that China was “humiliated in the Second World War”. Technically, the country was one of the winners (Japan was defeated). In short: the story that China's President Xi Jinping recorded a speech talking about war, new era and army is false. The translation is all wrong and it's all just another rumor about China that insists on circulate on the internet. Ps.: This article is a suggestion from Boatos.org readers.

The post has been shared more than 400 times. USA TODAY reached out to Morgan about her post but she did not respond to multiple messages. Similar Facebook posts, as well as viral WhatsApp and text messages, have echoed the rumor. The claims in the messages are not true; President Donald Trump already used the Stafford Act to declare a national emergency on March 13, before the viral post was made. More importantly, the Stafford Act does not allow the federal government to impose mandatory quarantines. Daily coronavirus updates:Get them in USA TODAY\'s Daily Briefing and delivered right to your inbox ## The Stafford Act and federal emergency powers On March 13, Trump declared a national emergency under the 1988 Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. Under the Stafford Act, about $40 billion from the Federal Emergency Management Agency can be used by the federal government to fight the coronavirus pandemic. The declaration of emergency also allows the federal government to waive certain regulations on health care providers so that resources can be deployed faster. This power is again derived from the Stafford Act, which was enacted by Congress to ensure that states would have a way of signaling for aid from the federal government in times of crisis. When it was signed into law, the Stafford Act was mainly intended to address crises like crop failures or natural disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes. A state’s governor must request a Stafford Act declaration for it to take effect. Washington Gov. Jay Inslee requested the White House declare a national emergency on March 12 to make Stafford Act funds available. The Stafford Act does not allow the federal government to directly intervene in the crisis response of a state, local or tribal government, though it provides considerable resources to help them. What is the Stafford Act?:Trump\'s emergency declaration provides funds, flexibility for state, local officials Text messages and social media posts to the contrary, however, caught the attention of the administration, and the National Security Council tweeted March 15 in an attempt to dispel rumors circulating online. \"Text message rumors of a national #quarantine are FAKE. There is no national lockdown,\" the NSC posted. While the Stafford Act does not give the federal government the sweeping authority to quarantine the nation, it\'s less clear if this is a legal impossibility. Other laws and statutes give the federal government – and, specifically the president – a range of powers. None, however, explicitly grants the power to quarantine the country for two weeks. The Congressional Research Service, a federal agency dedicated to research and analysis in support of Congress, published a set of guidelines on federal and state authority regarding quarantines in 2014. In it, the CRS found that the federal government’s constitutional authority in times of health crises comes from the Commerce Clause of the Constitution, which governs interstate commerce. “State and local governments have the primary authority to control the spread of dangerous diseases within their jurisdictions,” the report states, while “the federal government has authority to quarantine and impose other health measures to prevent the spread of diseases from foreign countries and between states.” Fact check: COVID-19 can cause worse lung damage than smoking Fact check: COVID-19 vaccine has been nearly 20 years in the making Fact check: Not likely that COVID-19 vaccine was cause of Hank Aaron\'s death Fact check: What\'s true about COVID-19, its vaccine, face masks and seasonal flu? How communities respond to pandemics, then, can vary greatly across the country. “The federal government has clear authority to impose quarantines on individual people for good cause,” says Robert Chesney, a professor at The University of Texas School of Law in Austin. “But it’s much less clear that it has the authority to impose broad regional restraints.” Limiting travel within the country is generally outside the powers of the executive branch, according to Chesney, though a federal law that mandates the surgeon general limit the spread of disease, and regulations under that statute, may allow for “limitations or border screenings, or perhaps even a national shelter-in-place directive, in the right circumstances,” Chesney explained. “If the government claims emergency power to do something that Congress has not already authorized it to do, the only certainty is that there would be litigation; it’s likely that the courts would show deference to the government in a time of pandemic,” Chesney said. The lack of legal precedent and vagueness of the laws regarding how the government can respond to crises has led many experts to conclude that any major federal action would be subject to significant legal challenges. “The president probably does not have substantial inherent constitutional authority to issue many orders affecting the interior of the United States (unlike foreign travel bans),” said Keith Whittington, a professor of political science at Princeton University. “But Congress could empower the president or other executive officials (like the surgeon general) to quarantine some areas of the country so as to prevent the spread of the disease.” ## Our rating: False We rate the claim that Trump will invoke the Stafford Act to order a national, mandatory two-week quarantine FALSE because it is not supported by our research. The president arguably has considerable authority in times of national crisis. The specific powers granted by the Stafford Act, however, do not provide the president or the federal government the authority to order a national quarantine. It is unclear if such power is provided by other federal laws. But current laws and the constitutional scheme, which reserves certain powers for the states, suggests that the power to order quarantines is left to state, local and tribal authorities. ## Our fact-check sources: * White House, Proclamation on Declaring a National Emergency Concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Outbreak, March 13, 2020 * FEMA, The Stafford Act * Washington Gov.

(AP) By PolitiFact Staff February 5, 2020 President Donald Trump delivered the 2020 State of the Union address in an atmosphere of intense partisanship, the day before an expected Senate vote to end impeachment, allowing Trump to stay in office and run for a second term. Before he spoke, Trump ignored an extended hand from Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. After he spoke, Pelosi ripped up a copy of his speech. There were other cheers and jeers, with Republicans shouting \"four more years!\" and Democrats yelling at Trump to pass their bill on drug prices. More women lawmakers wore white, a symbol of the suffrage movement. Trump’s speech boasted about the improved economy and included some false lines that he has repeated in campaign rallies. We fact-checked many of them for accuracy or additional context. Health Care | Immigration | Military | Economy **** _NEW FACT-CHECK_ : Trump\'s State of the Union claim about welfare, food stamps is off _NEW FACT-CHECK_ : No, the economy didn\'t suddenly get strong under Donald Trump _NEW FACT-CHECK_ : Did Trump oversee historic funding increase for child care? **Health Care** \"I\'ve also made an ironclad pledge to American families: We will also protect patients with pre-existing conditions.\" This repeated line is Pants on Fire. His administration is doing the opposite in court. The protections for patients with pre-existing conditions come from the Affordable Care Act, which passed under then-President Barack Obama. The law says that health plans cannot charge people more for insurance because of their medical history, and is one of the ACA’s most popular provisions. Trump has repeatedly sought and supported congressional efforts to repeal the ACA, though those efforts memorably fell flat in 2017. More recently, his administration has declined to defend the law in a pending court case, known as Texas vs. Azar. In that case, a group of Republican states’ attorneys generals is arguing that the entire law should be struck down — including the pre-existing condition protection. The case is expected to end up before the Supreme Court, though not before the 2020 election. The administration’s stance — endorsing the lawsuit and declining to defend the law — is almost unprecedented, legal experts say. Neither the president nor congressional Republicans has unveiled a replacement plan for the ACA. In the event the Supreme Court ultimately strikes down the health law, health plans would once again be allowed to charge people more if they have had any medical issues. — Shefali Luthra, Kaiser Health News \"Over 130 legislators in this chamber have endorsed legislation that would bankrupt our nation by providing free taxpayer-funded health care to millions of illegal aliens, forcing taxpayers to subsidize free care for anyone in the world who unlawfully crosses our borders.\" Half True. The \"Medicare for All\" program that many Democrats in Congress support is meant to cover undocumented people. But it is a gross exaggeration to suggest this expense would \"bankrupt\" the United States, especially since Medicare for All’s overall price-tag looks fairly similar to what we currently spend on health care. (It changes who pays.) — Shefali Luthra, Kaiser Health News \"Before I took office, health insurance premiums had more than doubled in just five years. I moved quickly to provide affordable alternatives. Our new plans are up to 60% less expensive and better.\" Indeed, his administration has loosened regulations on forms of coverage, such as short-term and association health plans, which are not required to comply with Affordable Care Act regulations and carry lower premiums. It’s unclear, however, if these plans are indeed \"better,\" as the president said. Critics point out that short-term plans, for instance, can deny people coverage based on preexisting conditions. They also say that the lower premiums are possible because the plans cover far less than an ACA plans are required to include. — Stephanie Stapleton, Kaiser Health News _RELATED_ : 10 fact-checks of Rush Limbaugh, Medal of Honor winner Last year, \"for the first time in 51 years, the cost of prescription drugs actually went down.\" Mostly False. The continued drug pricing trend suggests that prices may be stabilizing, but they are not coming down. And consumers are not experiencing that relief. — Shefali Luthra, Kaiser Health News \"With unyielding commitment, we are curbing the opioid epidemic — drug overdose deaths declined for the first time in nearly 30 years.\" The number of overdoses did fall in 2018, but it’s not clear if it’s the beginning of a trend, and the death toll remains staggering. U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data show 67,367 drug overdose deaths in the United States in 2018, a 4.1% decline from 2017. Overdose deaths have been steadily increasing in recent decades; in 1999, the number of deaths was 16,849. A graphic in Science magazine compiled by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and the CDC shows that the last decline in drug overdose deaths was in 1990, but it then climbed steadily up. The mortality rate was about 2 people per 100,000 in 1990 and rose to about 17 per 100,000 by 2016. While the overall decline in drug overdose deaths is good news, overdoses from synthetic opioids other than methadone have been on the rise. \"Fentanyl is only now spreading to the western United States, and methamphetamine addiction is resurgent, both of which could prevent the 2018 drop of overdoses from becoming a longer-term trend,\" said Keith Humphreys, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford University. — Amy Sherman ![](\\" (AP) **Immigration** \"We have now completed over 100 miles and have over 500 miles fully completed in a very short period of time. Early next year, we will have substantially more than 500 miles completed.\" This needs clarification. The 100-mile reference is mainly about the replacement of older, dilapidated barriers with new fencing. It doesn’t mean that the nearly 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border now has 100 more miles of barriers than it did before Trump became president. The southwest border had 654 miles of primary barriers before Trump was elected. Three years into Trump’s term, that has increased by 1 mile, to 655 miles. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, as of Jan. 24: 1 mile of barriers has been constructed where no barriers previously existed; 99 miles of barriers have been constructed to replace outdated or dilapidated designs that existed before Trump took office; and 10 miles of secondary barriers have been constructed to replace dilapidated fencing. Customs and Border Protection said it’s identified about $11 billion from the Department of Homeland Security, Defense Department, and the Treasury Forfeiture Fund to build 576 miles worth of barriers (which includes the 110 miles already built). About half of the barriers would get new barriers to replace existing structures, and the rest would have barriers for the first time, according to the immigration agency. — Miriam Valverde _RELATED_ : Nancy Pelosi\'s protocol snub of President Donald Trump \"As a result of our unprecedented efforts, illegal crossings are down 75% since May, dropping eight months in a row.\" This accurately reflects southwest border apprehension data up to December 2019. Border patrol apprehensions declined by about 75% from May to December. Apprehensions briefly increased by about 33% from April to May, though, so technically they have dropped seven months in a row. Here are the numbers from Customs and Border Protection: April: 99,273 May: 132,856 June: 94,902 July: 71,978 August: 50,684 September: 40,507 October: 35,405 November: 33,511 December: 32,858 — Miriam Valverde **Military** \"Our military is completely rebuilt.\" This hasn’t happened. The Trump administration has increased military spending, but rebuilding the military would require new equipment that can take years to build and develop. Only a portion of the Trump administration’s military spending has gone toward what would be considered a rebuild under any reasonable definition of the term. The administration’s spending has helped make troops and equipment more ready for combat, said Michael O’Hanlon, a senior fellow in foreign policy at the Brookings Institution. But overall, Trump’s claim of a total rebuild is \"hyperbole.\" \"Most weapons are the same as before,\" O’Hanlon told us. \"There is more continuity than change in defense policy from Obama to Trump.\" — Bill McCarthy \"Soleimani was the Iranian regime\'s most ruthless butcher, a monster who murdered or wounded thousands of American service members in Iraq.\" Soleimani, through his leadership as commander of Iran’s Quds Force, was Iran’s man in Iraq, and the militias he backed wounded or killed many American soldiers. The last Pentagon estimate of U.S. deaths by Iranian-backed militias was 603, not thousands. The high-end estimate of total war fatalities in Iraq is about 208,000. That number includes the civilian and combatant victims from both the American-led attack in 2003 and sectarian violence by both Sunni and Shiite forces. At Soleimani’s direction, Iran became a source of arms, funding and political guidance for Iraqi Shiite militias following the American-led invasion that toppled Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. These militias used a range of weapons against American and Iraqi forces, including small arms, mortars, rocket-propelled grenades and roadside bombs. Improvised explosive devices, often packaged in the form of roadside bombs, were behind nearly half of all deaths. Trump invited Kelli and Gage Hake, the widow and son of the late Army Staff Sgt. Christopher Hake, who was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq, to the State of the Union. — Bill McCarthy, Jon Greenberg \"Three years ago, the barbarians of ISIS held over 20,000 square miles of territory in Iraq and Syria. Today, the ISIS territorial caliphate has been 100% destroyed and the founder and leader of ISIS, the bloodthirsty killer known as al-Baghdadi, is dead.\" This is accurate, but it needs some clarification. The group’s leadership predated Baghdadi, though he was instrumental in the caliphate’s rise in 2014. In March 2019, Syrian Democratic Forces captured the Syrian village of Baghouz, officially ending the Islamic State’s territorial claims. According to a June 2017 analysis from consulting firm IHS Markit, ISIS held about 23,320 square miles of territory as of January 2017. That was down more than 11,000 square miles from two years earlier under President Barack Obama. In October 2019, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, an ISIS commander, was killed during a U.S. military operation in Syria. Jordanian jihadist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was the founder of several ISIS predecessor groups dating back to 1999, including al-Qaida in Iraq, which was formed in 2004. In June 2006, Zarqawi was killed in a U.S. airstrike. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi became the leader of ISIS in April 2010. ISIS rebranded itself as the Islamic State on June 29, 2014, when Baghdadi announced the formation of the caliphate. ISIS remains a threat, even without its caliphate. The New York Times has reported that as many as 18,000 fighters remain in Iraq and Syria and there have been several attacks around the world since the group’s territorial defeat. — Daniel Funke ![](\\" (AP) **Economy** \"After decades of flat and falling incomes, wages are rising fast — and, wonderfully, they are rising fastest for low-income workers, who have seen a 16% pay increase since my election. This is a blue collar boom.\" This is Half True. Looking at the change in weekly earnings since 2016, the bottom 10% saw a 14.6% rise, compared with 13.5% for the top earners. But looking at the change from year to year, in 2017 and 2019, earnings for the top 10% grew faster than for the lowest wage earners. Trump’s statement was true for one out of his three years in office. But there are two key problems with using weekly earnings to compare the lowest to the highest groups. The government’s survey excludes the self- employed, and at the high end, that means lawyers, engineers, and other well- paid positions. Their income doesn’t show up. In addition, the survey doesn’t doesn’t count earnings over $150,000. Someone making $250,000 would be entered as earning $149,999. That makes the high-end number in the data artificially low. — Jon Greenberg Says he enacted \"historic and record-setting tax cuts.\" False. In inflation-adjusted dollars, the recent tax bill is the fourth- largest since 1940. And as a percentage of GDP, it ranks seventh. — Louis Jacobson \"Since my election, we have created 7 million new jobs.\" This is accurate, though he breaks the 7 million barrier by counting two months of Obama’s presidency. During his own presidency, the number of non- farm jobs rose from almost 146 million in January 2017 to a little over 152 million in December 2019, which is an increase of almost 6.7 million directly on Trump’s watch. No president deserves all the credit for job gains, or all the blame for job losses. Such factors as business patterns, technological change, and the international economic climate can play major roles as well. — Louis Jacobson \"The unemployment rates for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans have reached the lowest levels in history.\" This is accurate for unemployment as long as you look at the lowest rate achieved on Trump’s watch, rather than specifically at the most recent month’s figures. African American unemployment, which has been recorded since 1972, hit its historical low at 5.4% in August 2019. It’s now slightly higher — 5.9%. Hispanic unemployment, which has been recorded since 1973, reached its historical low of 4.1% in October 2019. It has since risen slightly to 4.2%. And Asian American unemployment, which has been recorded since 2000, reached its all-time low of 2.0% in May 2018. It is now a bit higher at 2.4%. Economists urge not overemphasizing small monthly shifts in the unemployment rate for groups like these, because the margin of error is bigger for smaller groups than for the country as a whole. It’s also worth noting that the decline in unemployment rates for these groups began well before Trump took office, under Obama. — Louis Jacobson \"African American poverty has declined to the lowest rate ever recorded.\" That’s correct. The African American poverty rate was 20.8 percent in 2018 — an all-time low since data was first kept consistently in 1966. — Louis Jacobson \"America has now gained 12,000 new factories under my Administration.\" This leaves out some important context. The number of manufacturing jobs for production and nonsupervisory workers fell by 12,000 last year. It is one thing to see the number of plants and mills grow, but that doesn’t automatically mean that the number of jobs will also increase. Also, the growing number of manufacturing facilities has been underway for many years. The upswing started in 2013 and has continued at a steady clip ever since. The pace accelerated a bit under Trump, but the trend started four years before he took office. — Jon Greenberg \"In eight years under the last administration, over 300,000 working-age people dropped out of the workforce. In just three years of my administration, 3.5 million working-age people have joined the workforce.\" Trump has the general trend right, but he leaves out some context. Obama took office during the Great Recession. Once the worst of the recession had passed, it started climbing, at roughly the same pace as it has under Trump, as the following chart shows. Looking at the number of Americans in the civilian labor force, the number fell under Obama by more than Trump said, declining by 1.5 million. It rose by a smaller amount under Trump than he said — 2.46 million. — Louis Jacobson \"Thanks to our bold regulatory reduction campaign, the United States has become the No. 1 producer of oil and gas anywhere in the world, by far.\" The United States is the world’s top producer of oil and natural gas. But Trump is taking too much credit. This not a new feat. The United States has been the world’s largest oil producer since 2012 and the top natural gas producer for years. Both achievements happened before Trump took over the White House, but that hasn’t stopped Trump and his allies from giving him the credit. — Bill McCarthy \"The unemployment rate for women reached the lowest level in almost 70 years.\" This is accurate. The current unemployment rate for women is 3.5%. The last time it was lower than that — 3.4% — was in September 1953, which was more than 66 years ago. The women’s unemployment rate began falling under Obama, not only under Trump. — Louis Jacobson \"Real median household income is now at the highest level ever recorded.\" This is accurate. After two consecutive annual increases under Obama, inflation-adjusted median household income has risen twice under Trump. The most recent data shows the figure at $63,179 in 2018. Here’s a chart showing median household income under recent presidents, with Democrats in blue and Republicans in red. — Louis Jacobson \"Workers without a high school diploma have achieved the lowest unemployment rate recorded in United States history.\" That’s accurate, at least since that statistic was first calculated in 1992. The unemployment rate in December 2019 was 5.2%, slightly higher than the all- time low of 4.8% set earlier in Trump’s presidency in September 2019. — Louis Jacobson _RELATED:_In State of the Union rebuttal, Texas rep. exaggerates debt attack on Trump Sign Up For Our Weekly Newsletter ### Our Sources See fact-checks. ##

Apparently obsessed with the fact that he lost the popular vote by more than 2.8 million votes — and only narrowly achieved an Electoral College win — Trump a few weeks after the election tweeted this: Trump’s fixation with this apparently started with a few tweets by Gregg Phillips, a self-described conservative voter fraud specialist, who started making claims even before data on voter history was actually available in most jurisdictions. (It had not even been determined which provisional ballots were valid and would be counted.) These claims were then picked up by such purveyors of false facts as Infowars.com, a conspiracy-minded website, even though Phillips declined to provide any evidence to back it up. Advertisement Story continues below advertisement After Trump’s tweet, the Trump transition team then scrambled to come up with proof, but could only resurrect claims and data that had been previously rejected as irrelevant during the campaign. None of the information supported Trump’s claim of “millions” of illegal votes, just isolated instances of voting irregularities. ✅ Follow Fact-checking politicians Follow Both Trump’s claim and the Trump team’s effort to justify it earned Four Pinocchios. As of December, just four documented cases of voter fraud have been identified. Our colleague Philip Bump calculated that voter fraud amounted to 0.000002 percent of the ballots cast in the race for the White House — if they counted, which they don’t. Story continues below advertisement As we noted in November: “Now that Trump is on the verge of becoming president, he needs to be more careful about making wild allegations with little basis in fact, especially if the claim emerged from a handful of tweets and conspiracy-minded websites. He will quickly find that such statements will undermine his authority on other matters.” Advertisement Well, now he’s president. **The Fact Checker Recidivism Watch tracks politicians who repeat claims that we have previously found to be incorrect or false.

Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis. ![\\"Tom](\\" By Tom Kertscher March 13, 2017 # Would \'Trumpcare,\' the GOP replacement for Obamacare, allow insurance executives to \'make millions\'? U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin greeted the Obamacare replacement bill -- she calls it \"Trumpcare\" -- with a sharp retort. This was the Wisconsin Democrat’s tweet on March 8, 2017, two days after the unveiling of the the House GOP bill: #ReadtheBill & you’ll see #TrumpCare would allow insurance execs to personally make millions off your health care. To be sure, the top executives at five major insurers -- Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealth, Anthem and Humana -- already make millions, with each CEO earning between $10.3 million and $17.3 million in 2015, according to the latest figures. Could the CEOs make millions more as a result of the GOP bill? There would be an opportunity for that: A proposed tax break in the bill connected to executive compensation would be worth millions of dollars to the health insurers. But the tax break would go to corporations, not personally to the executives. And Baldwin’s claim assumes the corporations would give millions of dollars in raises to the executives. A tax deduction change Baldwin’s attack centers on a provision of the bill, which is supported by President Donald Trump, that would change a tax deduction: * Currently, Obamacare limits to $500,000 the amount of an individual executive\'s compensation that a health insurance company can deduct as a business expense. * The aim, as U.S. Rep. Ron Kind, D-Wis., has noted was to prevent health insurers from passing along profits they made via Obamacare to their executives, and then deducting the cost of those raises on the company’s taxes. * The GOP replacement bill would repeal the $500,000 limit, generally making the cap $1 million, the same amount that applies to other types of businesses. In other words, health insurance companies could increase their tax deduction. #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" ![](\\" Donald Trump stated on August 23, 2024 in a speech in Las Vegas “Kamala cast the tiebreaking vote to hire 87,000 new IRS agents to go after your tip income.” ![\\"true\\"](\\" false/33efdb6633e5e2fdc2d4e2f63383a1e0.jpg.\\") ![\\"false\\"](\\" false.jpg\\") By Amy Sherman • August 28, 2024 * The upshot for the federal government, as estimated by Congress’ nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation: $400 million in lost tax revenue over 10 years. The effects So, as Baldwin suggests, the GOP proposal would allow health insurers to claim a greater tax deduction for the pay it gives its top executives. A CNN/Money news report said that of the $73 million paid to the CEOs of the five major insurers in 2015, only $2.5 million was deductible under Obamacare tax laws, but more than $70 million of it would be deductible under the Republican legislation. But there are other important facts to consider: * It’s misleading to say that executives would \"personally\" benefit from the change, given that the tax break is for corporations, not individuals. * The health insurance companies would have more of a financial incentive, in terms of tax deductions, to give raises to their executives. But even if the companies opted to provide bigger raises, there’s no evidence that the executives would reap \"millions.\" As Matthew Gardner, senior fellow at the left-leaning Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, told us: \"A more accurate version of Baldwin’s statement would be that Trumpcare would make it easier for insurance companies to increase their CEO’s pay.\" Our rating Baldwin says \"‘Trumpcare’ would allow insurance execs to personally make millions off your health care.\" One provision in a Trump-supported Republican bill to replace Obamacare is a tax break worth an estimated $400 million over 10 years. It’s possible that money could fund raises for health care company executives. But the tax break is for the companies, not individuals; the companies could use the savings for other purposes; and even if the savings were used for raises, there’s no evidence that executives would get millions. For a statement that contains only an element of truth, our rating is Mostly False.
