All the currencies will be backed by gold. When we talk about disinformation on the internet, we can talk about “distortions light” of reality (some are even difficult to deny) to theories crazy things that emerge (without any connection in reality) from the heads of half a dozen people. One of them is the so-called “Operation Storm” (a false operation that is happening to arrest the left-wing thieves of the world). And the story today would be the consequence of this “operation”. According to messages circulating on the internet, all banks in the world will close in September 2020. The objective would be to change the pattern of currencies to be backed by gold and get the corrupt caught by Operation Storm. Read some of these messages circulating online: > ## Check out the denial on video > > ### Part 1 > > ## > > ### Part 2 > > ## > > ### Version 1: _Important information: Financial reset date: 09 to 21 Sep 2020 which can be extended until 30 Sep 2020. Banks will be closed this period around the world. Currencies must be backed by gold. During this same period, the possibility of Internet and video transmissions not working TV._ Version 2: _PERSONAL ATTENTION, WITH THE PROBABILITY OF A 70% CHANCE OF HAPPEN.. IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT BANKS WILL CLOSE FROM SEPTEMBER 11TH AND STAY UNTIL THE 21ST OF SEP, THIS DEADLINE MAY BE EXTENDED UNTIL THE 30TH SEPTEMBER. SOME AGENCIES IN SOME CITIES HAVE ALREADY CLOSED DURING THE WEEK PAST CLAIMING “STRIKE”._ _IT IS LIKELY THAT CARD MACHINES AND DEBIT OR CREDIT CARDS WILL NOT COME WORKING, AND SOME ESTABLISHMENTS CLOSE OR NOT, FOR THE SAME REASON. IT WILL BE A NEW WORLDWIDE BANKING FINANCIAL SYSTEM CALLED SFQ (QFS) HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED IT IS LIKELY THAT NETWORKS, SERVERS, INTERNET AND EVEN TV SIGNALS WILL GO DOWN TB FOR A FEW DAYS TO AVOID SABOTAGE OF THE NEW SYSTEM. AS SOON AS THE NEW SYSTEM IS IMPLEMENTED, ALL MONEY ACQUIRED ILLICITLY WILL BE SEIZED BY THE NEW SYSTEM, BEING RELEASED ONLY WITH PROOF OF THE SAME! STORM!_ Version 3: _URGENT on 09/05/2020 UNTIL 09/21/20 ALL BANKS IN THE WORLD THEY WILL BE CLOSED THIS CAN BE EXTENDED UNTIL 09/30/20 FOR THE RESET OF MONETARY OPERATIONS FOR THE (GOLD) STANDARD September 9th until the 21st which can be extended until the 30th, Exchange of the existing system_ _Information of first hand on SEPTEMBER 9, 2020 All Banking Agencies across the world the Planet Will Be Closed for Changing the Current FINANCIAL SYSTEM New Financial System (QSF) on the Gold Standard._ ## Banks around the world will close in September 2020 to carry out reset finance of currencies? There was no shortage of messages on the internet talking about the closure. As common-sense people might imagine, the absurd thesis that banks that everyone will close in September is false. When we come across the message circulating online, we already realize that It's a fake. In addition to the message having all the main characteristics of online rumors (such as being vague, alarmist, making mistakes in Portuguese, having asked of sharing and not citing reliable sources), the “bomb” about the bank closures are based on false information.” One of the false information is that there is an operation called Storm that is to arrest all the corrupt and pedophiles on the global left. We already talked a few times and let's repeat: this operation only exists in the heads of some lunatics. If you have any further doubts, I advise you to read the following denial and watch the videos below: Another false information is that changing money from banks is a strategy to catch corrupt people. This is information that has already been denied in the Boatos.org on some occasions (read here and here). In them, in addition to deny this “money exchange”, we show that it is a strategy stupid to catch corrupt people. A third false information on which the message is based is that which indicates that the Covid-19 is a hoax with the aim of registering the population and that the acronym of disease would have something to do with it. Before you ask: yes, we have already denied it this ridiculous information (here and here). Based on all this, we decided to look for more details about it. How was it If you imagine, we found nothing about the message in reliable sources (not even in the Brazil or abroad). In other words: this is more information taken “from the nothing” (not to mention anywhere else). Let's agree that if the information were real, we would have already noticed the “closing of these banks”. In short: the story that indicates that banks will be closed to exchange the currency pattern in September 2020 is fake. In addition to being based on information false (such as that there is such a thing as Operation Storm), there is no source reliable information that points to the closure of the branches.

The post from January 10, shared by the page Truth and Lies and other Liberal Promises, features a screenshot of another post with the headline, “Common Sense Daily – Morrison’s $50 million handout to Murdoch”. The image features images of News Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch and Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison with speech bubbles. The text reads, Murdoch: “$50 million. NOW. I’ll keep you in govt!”, Morrison: “Yes Boss.” At the bottom are the words, “Defrauding the Taxpayer!”. Underneath the photos, the post explains how both parties supposedly “got away with rorting your money”. “Step 1: At Murdoch behest, Morrison creates $50 M fund under pretend purpose of ‘maintaining regional newspapers’. Step 2: Morrison gov gives it to Murdoch supposedly for this purpose. Step 3: Murdoch closes down 112 regional papers, deeming them not profitable & influential enough, and keeps the money!” At the time of writing, the post had garnered more than 10,000 views, as well as over 210 shares and 250 reactions. ![\\"A](\\" content/uploads/2021/01/22142506/eba01631129d7b844f9c41f915192ec0b5b1891b80b64f0dbf13bb885d0b927d-scaled.jpg?v=1611285910\\"/) A Facebook post claims the federal government “defrauded the taxpayer” by giving News Corp $50m. ## The Analysis The federal government did not give News Corp $50 million to “maintain” its newspapers, with the company neither applying for nor being granted any funding from a scheme of that size set up to support regional newsrooms. News Corp also did not “close” 112 regional newspapers altogether; 36 of its titles were axed, while 76 others became purely online publications. The Australian government announced in March 2020 a Public Interest News Gathering (PING) fund to support rural and regional news organisations experiencing disruptions and hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the Public Interest Journalism Initiative’s Australian Newsroom Mapping Project (ANMP), more than 150 newsrooms shut down between January 2019 and May 2020. Many of these were in regional areas. The government’s PING program, worth $50 million, provided funding to support “the continued production of high quality news in regional and remote areas of Australia”. Many major news organisations were granted funding under the program, including Southern Cross Austereo ($10.2 million) and WIN Corporation ($4.4 million), while Australian Associated Press (AAP) received a grant worth $5 million, increasing the fund’s total pool to $55 million. Neither News Corp nor its regional subsidiaries appear in the list of grant recipients. News Corp Australia corporate affairs executive Campbell Reid told AAP FactCheck via email that the company did not lobby the government for regional news grants in 2020, and it had not received any related government funding for its local and regional news operations. A spokesperson for the Department of Communications confirmed that News Corp did not apply for any funding under the PING program, nor was it among the 107 regional publishers and broadcasters awarded grants. An earlier government scheme, the Regional and Small Publishers Innovation Fund (RSPIF) started in 2018 as part of the Regional and Small Publishers Jobs and Innovation Package. It provides up to $16 million in grants over three years to regional publishers. In the RSPIF’s most recent round of grants in 2020, 43 applicants secured funding. News Corp was not among the recipients, nor did it feature in the 2018 and 2019 funding rounds. News Corp Australia announced in May 2020 it was ending print editions for 112 regional and local news titles. A total of 36 publications were closed, while 76 others became digital-only titles. ## The Verdict News Corp did not receive a $50 million grant from the federal government to maintain 112 regional news titles before closing them. The company did not apply for or receive any funding under a program of the same size, nor did it receive funding under an earlier scheme to support regional publishers. It also did not close down 112 newspapers; 36 local and regional titles were shut, while another 76 became digital-only.

Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), remarks at a town hall in Fairview, Tenn., Feb. 21, 2017 Among the most popular parts of the Affordable Care Act, passed in 2010 with zero votes from Republican lawmakers, are provisions that prohibit insurance companies from denying coverage based on a preexisting condition and allowing adult children up to the age of 26 to be carried on their parents’ health plan. As Republicans craft a replacement for Obamacare, many have suggested that these ideas will be carried forward. Yet we were surprised when we saw that, in response to a question about whether these provisions would be in the replacement, Rep. Marsha Blackburn told people in her district that these were actually “two Republican provisions which made it into the [Obamacare] bill.” Advertisement Story continues below advertisement Could this be possible? Blackburn’s staff did not respond to repeated inquiries over several days for an explanation — generally a sign that the boss has messed up. ### The Facts The ACA was crafted through many months of committee hearings and debates in 2009, in both the House and the Senate, and untangling who was responsible for what is a difficult chore. But we checked with a number of congressional aides and other experts who were involved in the process at the time and could find few, if any, Republican fingerprints on these two provisions in the legislative process. ✅ Follow Fact-checking politicians Follow Preexisting conditions Barring insurance companies from denying coverage based on preexisting medical conditions had long been a holy grail of health-care reform. Chris Jennings, a health-care consultant who worked for both presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, said the question of how to achieve this dates back to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, sponsored by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Sen. Nancy Kassebaum (R-Kan.). That law required insurance companies to nullify preexisting-condition exclusions for people who had continuous coverage and were joining a group health plan at work. But it did not offer any protection if someone moved from a plan in the individual market to another plan, or from an employer plan to the individual market. Advertisement Story continues below advertisement Jennings said the Clinton administration and Congress were able to “enhance protections (in a bipartisan fashion) for people going from insurance market to insurance market but we could not eliminate the underwriting practice altogether because we could not require a health plan to insure a ‘house on fire’ patient unless we had near or close to universal coverage.” Universal or near-universal coverage was the key, because then the pool of people in the insurance market would be broad enough that insurance companies could cover sicker people without increasing premiums. When individual states tried to insist on guaranteed coverage, premiums skyrocketed. Many states also established high-risk pools to help cover people with preexisting conditions, but they ran up losses, excluded coverage for preexisting conditions, often for six to 12 months, and imposed lifetime limits on coverage. In 2006, Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) enacted a health-care plan that included an individual mandate to buy insurance, thereby expanding the pool of people buying insurance. The Massachusetts law required coverage of preexisting conditions but even it did limit coverage of some conditions to six months. Advertisement Story continues below advertisement “Policymakers of both parties knew what would be necessary to get the job done — this is best exemplified subsequently by the Romney Massachusetts policy (that had the subsidies/mandate pillars) in order to get the preexisting condition exclusions eliminated,” Jennings said. The individual-mandate approach is what emerged in the bills crafted by Democrats in the House and the Senate. In the House, the Affordable Care Act for America Act (H.R. 3962) was introduced on Oct. 29, 2009, and then passed by the House on Nov. 7, 2009. In the Senate, Kennedy was a fierce proponent of ending the preexisting coverage ban. The final version of the ACA enacted the ban on barring coverage of preexisting conditions, aided by the creation of a temporary, national high-risk pool that served as a bridge from 2010 to 2014, when the Obamacare markets would be operational. But the Republican alternative did not offer coverage for preexisting conditions. On Nov. 6, 2009, in an interview on C-SPAN, Blackburn was specifically asked about that criticism — and she touted instead an expansion of high-risk pools. “There is a way to do that, and address that, and bring people into those high-risk pools,” she said. The Republican alternative to the House bill would have allocated $24 billion over 10 years to fund high- risk pools for people with chronic illnesses, but a Congressional Budget Office analysis of the proposal found it would have had a minimal impact on reducing the number of uninsured Americans. Advertisement Story continues below advertisement Under-26 provision Before the ACA, a number of states had a similar policy, but it was not as broad or consistently applied. So Democratic policymakers sought ways to add young adults to the insured rolls, as many lost coverage at the age of 19, when they graduated from high school or when they graduated from college. President Obama pushed for the idea early on, listing it as a key element in his plan in speeches. Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), at the time a member of the House, also led a campaign starting in October 2009, with other House Democrats, to include it in the emerging House bill. Chiquita Brooks-LaSure, a staff member at the time on the House Ways and Means Committee, recalled that an additional motivation for adding the provision was to demonstrate benefits from the law before the exchanges went into operation later. The under-26 provision went into effect on Sept. 23, 2010. Advertisement Story continues below advertisement “There was certainly no Republican pushing either provision, but Senators [Chuck] Grassley [R-Iowa] and [Olympia] Snowe [R-Maine], who were the only ones working with us in the Senate, accepted them as must-do in the end,” recalled a former Senate aide. Update: Blackburn’s staff suggested that Blackburn co-sponsored legislation in November, 2009, which included these provisions. But the bill never came to a vote — and records show Blackburn signed on as a co-sponsor in June, 2010, after the Affordable Care Act was signed into law. There were a handful of other GOP bills with these sorts of provisions, which also did not go far, as well as some rhetorical support by some Republicans. ### The Pinocchio Test There is no evidence that either of these popular elements of the ACA “were Republican provisions,” as Blackburn claims. In fact, Blackburn is on record as promoting the concept of federally funded “high-risk pools” even on the eve of the House vote for the Democratic bill that included a robust provision to bar insurance companies from refusing to cover preexisting conditions. Similarly, the Obama White House and House Democrats were the prime movers of the under-26 provision.

(Mike De Sisti photo) ![\\"Tom](\\" By Tom Kertscher August 26, 2016 # How much would Barack Obama $10-per-barrel tax on oil raise gas prices? 24 cents, Paul Ryan says In an Aug. 11, 2016 tweet that was augmented with a bit of animation (a counter with rolling numbers), House Speaker Paul Ryan declared: \"President Obama’s proposed oil tax would cost consumers 24 cents a gallon.\" That’s a flat declaration of a specific figure. Let’s see if it’s on the money. Ryan’s evidence To back Ryan’s statement, his office cited a February 2016 article from MarketWatch.com, which reported on Obama’s proposal for a $10 tax on each barrel of oil to pay for \"clean\" transportation projects such as expanding mass transit. The article said the tax would be paid by oil companies and gradually phased in over five years. To be clear, the article said the proposal \"isn’t expected to go far.\" And in a news release Ryan issued the same day as his tweet, he said the tax is \"dead on arrival in Congress.\" The MarketWatch article quoted Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst at GasBuddy.com, as saying: \"This proposal would trickle down and be a $10 per barrel tax on motorists -- or 20 to 25 cents per gallon on refined fuels. To me it’s clear: this is not something oil companies are going to absorb.\" #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" ![](\\" Dave McCormick stated on August 8, 2024 in an X post “Bob Casey and Kamala Harris want to BAN fracking.” ![\\"true\\"](\\" false/33efdb6633e5e2fdc2d4e2f63383a1e0.jpg.\\") ![\\"false\\"](\\" false.jpg\\") By Caleb McCullough • August 16, 2024 So, 24 cents is in the range of the analyst’s estimate. But it’s only one analyst; and his estimate is based on how he thinks oil companies would respond to a $10-per-barrel tax. What the oil companies would do isn’t quite as certain as what Ryan claimed. A trade group that should know, the American Petroleum Institute, warned the tax would \"harm consumers.\" But it hedged a bit in saying the tax \"could\" raise the cost of gasoline by 25 cents a gallon. Economist Nicolas Loris estimated the cost slightly lower, at 22 cents, the Huffington Post said 22 to 24 cents, and the Washington Post said 24 cents. Politico and Forbes said about 25 cents. One note: The federal government currently imposes a tax of 18.4 cents per gallon of gasoline. But that’s a direct tax on gas, not on the oil companies. Our rating Ryan said: \"President Obama’s proposed oil tax would cost consumers 24 cents a gallon.\" Estimates are in the 24 cents range for the $10-per-barrel tax that Obama proposed on oil companies. But it’s not a sure thing, if the tax became law, that all of the tax would be passed onto consumers.

Thế nhưng, Samsung cũng làm một cuộc cải tiến về màn hình, bản lề, hiệu năng,… để mang đến trải nghiệm tốt hơn cho người dùng. ### 4.1. Thiết kế đột phá Điện thoại gập này sử dụng thiết kế bản lề giọt nước mới lạ. Khi gập máy lại khe hở ngay giữa màn hình sẽ được giảm thiểu lại hoàn toàn. Đồng thời phần nếp gấp màn hình khi người dùng mở máy ra cũng sẽ gần như biến mất. Chính điều này sẽ mang đến một chiếc điện thoại gập vỏ sò hoàn hảo hơn và khắc phục hoàn toàn những nhược điểm mà Z Flip4 vẫn chưa làm được. ![\\"samsung](\\"\\")Thiết kế ### 4.2. Màn hình phụ cực kì đẹp và ấn tượng Có thể thấy, công nghệ màn hình của máy năm nay có những bước nhảy vọt. Màn hình phụ được trang bị kích thước lên đến 3.4 inch. Với kích thước này, người dùng có thể nhận và trả lời thông báo, tin nhắn, cuộc gọi,… ngay trên màn hình phụ rộng rãi mà không nhất thiết phải mở hẳn máy ra. ![\\"samsung](\\"\\")Camera ### 4.3. Hiệu năng mạnh mẽ Đặc biệt, năm nay siêu phẩm màn hình gập này còn sở hữu chipset mạnh mẽ đến từ nhà Qualcomm: Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 For Galaxy. Đây là con chip đã từng xuất hiện duy nhất trên S23 Series với công nghệ hiệu năng mạnh mẽ, xử lý mọi tác vụ vượt trội hơn hẳn bản tiền nhiệm. Nó cũng mang đến khả năng tiết kiệm pin và hỗ trợ kết nối chuẩn 5G cao hơn. ![\\"samsung](\\"\\")Hiệu năng mạnh mẽ ### 4.4. Camera chất lượng cao Bên cạnh đó, thông số camera của chiếc điện thoại thông minh này vẫn được giữ nguyên như thế hệ trước đó. Thế nhưng chúng vẫn có một chút cải tiến về cảm biến bên trong.

Monday, 15 April 2019 19:20 WIB ![](\\" * Share * ![\\"image](\\" * ![\\"image](\\" * ![\\"image](\\" * ![\\"image](\\" ![\\"\[Fakta](\\" Video showing Basuki Tjahaja Purnama alias Ahok protesting against the Committee Overseas Voting in Osaka, Japan, circulating on Instagram. That video shared by the _indah_ayu_natasha account today April 15 2019 at 06.00 WIB. ![](\\" The Instagram account shared a video of Ahok getting angry, accompanied by a false narrative. In the video, Ahok appears to be wearing a white shirt. He seemed to be arguing with the Indonesian Consulate General in Osaka's Overseas Electoral Committee (PPLN), on the 22nd floor of the building Indonesian Consulate General Osaka, Japan. Indah Ayu's account wrote the narrative: “This human is the source of the chaos in this country. Uncivilized humans and troublemaker. "In Osaka at 2 o'clock, Ahok suddenly brought 100 Chinese people to vote." FACT CHECK The full video of Ahok being angry is available on several YouTube channels. Tio News for example, uploading a 10-minute video showing the cause Ahok protests PPLN in Osaka. Also included in the Successful YouTuber Channel, which is upload a 10 minute video. The contents of the video have been confirmed as true by Ahok's expert staff, Ima Mahdiah. In the video, Ahok protests because he was prohibited from queuing by PPLN Osaka at the time voting took place on Sunday, April 14 2019. He also asked PPLN Osaka prioritize voters who are on the Permanent Voter List (DPT) rather than the Register Additional Voters (DPTb) or Special Voters List (DPK) in accordance with regulations stipulated in the Election Law. According to Ahok, he has moved his name on the DPT in Osaka for 2 months ago and was listed at number 8. “I can no longer vote in Jakarta because my rights have been transferred to Osaka," said Ahok in the video. However, after he scolded the PPLN officer, Ahok was able to exercise his rights choose, as written by Tempo. Via his Instagram account @basukibtp, Ahok showed off a photo showing he had exercised his right to vote. Voting in Japan was held on April 14 2019. Although, vote counting will be carried out simultaneously with the counting in Indonesia, namely April 17 2019. Overseas election procedures The list of overseas voters consists of three groups. They are Lists Permanent Voters (DPT), Additional Voters List (DPTb) and Special Voters List (DPK). In the voting procedure, voters who have registered in the DPT receive earlier shift, namely from 8 am to 4 pm. After that, There will be a re-registration time for DPTb and DPK. However, according to Tirto's report, the voting location in Osaka was suddenly busy three o'clock in the afternoon. The queue was snaking. The queue was mixed and it was no longer clear who was who who enter DPT, DPTb, and DPK. This is what then made the former Governor of DKI Jakarta, Basuki Tjahja Purnama, angry. BTP is one of the many people who voted in Osaka. CONCLUSION From the facts above, the video is in accordance with the facts, but it is a narrative which stated that Ahok was angry because he brought 100 Chinese people along voting is wrong.

خبرگزاری فارس روز دهم فروردین ۱۴۰۲ با انتشار گزارشی از روند طراحی و تولید هواپیمای ترابری سبک سیمرغ این پروژه را «گام بلند ایران برای تولید هواپیمای ترابری» توصیف کرد و در عنوان گزارش خود این پرسش را مطرح کرد که «پرنده ایرانی در آسمان بالگشایی میکند؟» فارس نوشت: > «وزارت دفاع و پشتیبانی نیروهای مسلح توانسته با استفاده از توان داخلی و > شرکتهای دانشبنیان، نخستین هواپیمای ترابری را طراحی کرده و بسازد.» محتوای گزارش فارس شبیه به گزارشی است که ایرنا حدود ۱۰ ماه پیش در ۲ خردادماه ۱۴۰۱ و فارس یک روز بعد در ۳ خرداد ۱۴۰۱ منتشر کردند. همان زمان ویدیویی هم توسط تسنیم منتشر شد. ![\\"\\"](\\" در حقیقت نخستینبار هواپیمای ترابری سبک سیمرغ در ۲۹ اردیبهشت ۱۴۰۱ در محل شرکت هواپیماسازی ایران (هسا) در شاهین شهر اصفهان رونمایی شد. ![\\"\\"](\\" سطحشیبدار (رمپ) عقب سیمرغ، مهمترین تفاوت آن با ایران ۱۴۰ است ![\\"\\"](\\" داخل کابین سیمرغ در گزارش هایی که ایرنا و فارس درباره این هواپیما منتشر کردهاند، اذعان شده که هواپیمای سیمرغ طرح تغییر یافتهای از هواپیمای ایران-۱۴۰ است که در سال ۱۳۹۳ و پس از بروز سوانح متعددی با دستور رئیسجمهوری وقت و تصمیم سازمان هواپیمایی کشوری مجوز پرواز آن متوقف شد و بدین ترتیب پروژهای که از ابتدای دهه ۱۳۷۰ با هدف تولید هواپیمای مسافربری در ایران و در قالب همکاری مشترک با شرکت آنتونوف اوکراین آغاز شده بود، متوقف شد. هواپیمای ایران-۱۴۰ در واقع همان آنتونوف-۱۴۰ سری ۱۰۰ تولید شده شرکت آنتونوف، شرکت فناوری هوافضا و صنایع جنگافزاری اتحاد شوروی بود که پس از فروپاشی به جمهوری اوکراین به ارث رسید. آنطور که در وبسایت این شرکت آمده است، قرارداد منعقده بین آنتونوف و هسا در سال ۱۳۷۴، شامل انتقال فناوری و راهاندازی دفتر طراحی در کارخانه تولیدی هسا، آموزش متخصصان هسا این شرکت و همچنین ساخت مشترک AN-140 میشد. پیش از رونمایی از سیمرغ به عنوان نسخه تغییر یافته ایران-۱۴۰ برای کاربری ترابری سبک، در اردیبهشتماه سال ۱۳۹۱ احمد وحیدی که در آن زمان وزیر دفاع و نیروهای مسلح دولت محمود احمدینژاد بود از ساخت و تولید ایران-۱۴۰ با کاربری گشت دریایی خبر داده و ویدیویی نیز از این نسخه ایران-۱۴۰ منتشر شده بود. ![\\"\\"](\\" ماکت عقاب، نسخه گشت دریایی ایران-۱۴۰ این نسخه در حقیقت یک ایران-۱۴۰ عادی بود که زیر بدنه آن دوربینی نصب شدهبود. در حالی که مهمترین جز هواپیمای گشت دریایی، رادار است که این هواپیما فاقد آن بود. ![\\"\\"](\\" یک فروند ایران-۱۴۰ که با نصب دوربین در زیر، در خلیج فارس گشت زنی میکرد ![\\"\\"](\\" دوربین این هواپیما از نوع اپتیک دید حرارتی از یک مدل تجاری و بسیار کوچک بود در توضیحاتی که سازنده اصلی ایران-۱۴۰ یعنی شرکت آنتونوف اوکراین در معرفی آنتونوف-۱۴۰ منتشر کرده این هواپیمای سبک به عنوان هواپیمایی با مشخصات مسافربری و همچنین هواپیمایی با کاربری مختلط مسافری-باربری معرفی شده است که نشان میدهد از اساس آنتونوف-۱۴۰ نسخه متناسب برای حمل بار نیز داشتهاست. ارتش روسیه در سال ۲۰۰۷ طی قراردادی که با شرکت آنتونوف داشته سری تی آنتونوف-۱۴۰ را با کاربری باربری بازطراحی کرده بود. نیروی دریایی روسیه در نسخه آنتونوف-۱۴۰ سری تی (AN-140T) تسمه نقالهای برای بارگذاری و تخلیه بار و سطحشیبدار (رمپ) در انتهای هواپیما اضافه کرده بود تا ماموریت حمل بار برای این هواپیما میسر شود، تغییراتی شبیه به آنچه در گزارش و تصاویر خبرگزاری فارس و پیشتر در گزارش خبرگزاری ایرنا درباره تغییرات به عمل آمده بر ایران-۱۴۰ و تبدیل آن به «سیمرغ» نیز به آن اشاره شده است. ![\\"\\"](\\" تفاوت سکان ایران ۱۴۰ (بالا) با هواپیمای سیمرغ (پایین) ![\\"\\"](\\" درب جانبی خروج چترباز و سطح شیبدار (رمپ) متحرک بارگیری ![\\"\\"](\\" مقایسه شکل بال در هواپیمای ایران ۱۴۰ (بالا) و هواپیمای سیمرغ (پایین) البته برنامه روسها برای تغییر آنتونوف-۱۴۰ و بازطراحی و تولید یک هواپیمای باربری سبک تاکتیکی که بتواند جایگزین مدلهای قدیمی آنتونوف ۲۶ و ۲۷ سری-اس شود با افزایش تنشهای سیاسی میان روسیه و اوکراین در سال ۲۰۱۴ رها شد و روسها ترجیح دادند این ماموریت را به ایلوشین بسپارند. در یک وبسایت روسی، تصویری از طرح سفارشی AN-140T برای نیروی دریایی روسیه درج شده که نسبت فاصله سکان افقی عقب به سطح شیبدار (رمپ) عقب، بیشتر شبیه «سیمرغ» است تا نمونههای ساختهشده آنتونوف-۱۴۰. ![\\"\\"](\\" طراحی روسها از AN-140T، نسبت فاصله سکان افقی عقب به رمپ را با تصویر زیر مقایسه کنید ![\\"\\"](\\" مقایسه آنتونوف-۱۴۰ سری ۱۰۰ (نسخه ایران ۱۴۰) و سیمرغ؛ تغییرات سیمرغ بیشتر شبیه سری تی است که قرار بود به ارتش روسیه تحویل شود. بهنظر میرسد که روسها در طراحی نسخه آنتونوف-۱۴۰ سری تی از سطح شیبدار (رمپ) مشابه هواپیمای ترابری آنتونوف-۲۶ استفاده کردهاند. ![\\"\\"](\\" طراحی AN-140T که به طرح AN-26 اشاره دارد ![\\"\\"](\\" آنتونوف ۲۶ اینکه آیا «سیمرغ» پلتفرمی تغییر یافته براساس همان طرح روسیه برای AN-140T است یا حاصل بازطراحی و ایجاد تغییرات متناسب با ماموریت جدید در هسای اصفهان است، و اینکه آیا تغییرات مستقلا توسط کارشناسان هسا (هواپیماسازی ایران) انجام شده یا از طرحهایی مانند AN-26 الهام گرفته شده، روشن نیست. ویدیویی که از مراحل ساخت «سیمرغ» در سوله هسا در شاهینشهر اصفهان در سال گذشته منتشر شد، فعالیت تکنسینهای هسا روی آن مشاهده میشود که نشان میدهد ادعای ساخت هواپیما در ایران درست است. ادعایی که با توجه به سابقه ساخت ایران-۱۴۰ در هسا، چندان دور از انتظار نیست. مرورگر شما ویدیو با این پسوند را پشتیبانی نمیکند. در این ویدیو رندرهای ۳ بعدی روی کامپیوترهای مرکز طراحی هسا در ایران نشان داده شده و مدعی میشوند که این طراحی ایرانی است. ![\\"\\"](\\" بنابراین حتی اگر بپذیریم که تغییرات ایجاد شده در انتهای بدنه هواپیما و اضافهشدن سطح شیبدار به عقب هواپیما، همه در داخل ایران انجام شدهباشد، باز هم ادعای اینکه «وزارت دفاع توانسته با استفاده از توان داخلی و شرکتهای دانشبنیان، نخستین هواپیمای ترابری را طراحی کرده و بسازد» گمراهکننده است زیرا بخشهای اصلی هواپیما همان آنتونوف-۱۴۰ است. ## جمعبندی خبرگزاری فارس با انتشار گزارشی از روند طراحی و تولید هواپیمای ترابری سبک سیمرغ نوشت: «وزارت دفاع و پشتیبانی نیروهای مسلح توانسته با استفاده از توان داخلی و شرکتهای دانشبنیان، نخستین هواپیمای ترابری را طراحی کرده و بسازد.» هم فارس، هم سایر خبرگزاریها و هم تولیدکننده (هسا؛ هواپیماسازی ایران) اذعان

Asylum seekers and refugees # How many child asylum seekers are found to be adults? 24 April 2018 ##### What was claimed 65% of assessed child refugees coming to the UK were actually adults. ##### Our verdict Correct, but most child asylum seekers are not challenged about their age. ##### What was claimed One in eight refugees who claimed to be children arriving in the UK were in fact adults. ##### Our verdict This is correct for unaccompanied child refugees, but is an overestimate of the proportion of all child refugees found to be adults. __1 of 2 claims > “Nearly two thirds of supposed child refugees who were challenged about > their real age after coming to Britain were found to be adults.” > > The Times, 9 April 2018 > “65% of assessed \"child refugees\" coming to UK were actually adults.” > > Nigel Farage, 10 April 2018 > “A new report has found that at least one in eight refugees who claimed to > be children arriving in the UK were in fact adults.” > > Yahoo News UK, 9 April 2018 It’s correct to say 65% of assessed children applying for asylum are found to be over 18, but most children going through the asylum process who say they are under 18 are not challenged about their age in the first place. One in eight is an overestimate for the proportion of children applying for asylum who are later found to be adults. It only takes the number of unaccompanied children seeking asylum found to be 18. Honesty in public debate matters You can help us take action – and get our regular free email Sign up ## Almost 10,000 children sought asylum in the UK in 2016 When a child (or their guardian applying for them) applies for asylum in the UK, the Home Office is required to establish whether the applicant is indeed a child in order to ensure they are provided with appropriate services and to establish their identity. When Home Office officials doubt the applicant is a child, an age dispute can follow. In 2016 the Home Office received around 9,800 applications for children seeking asylum in the UK. In the same year it decided around 580 cases where the age of a child was disputed (as they were thought to be over 18) and in 370 (61%) it was decided that the child seeking asylum was over 18. ![\\"\\"](\\"/media/uploads/Graph_v4.png\\"/)The 65% figure quoted in the media comes from a report by the Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration which says: “Home Office data indicated that between 1 July 2016 and 30 June 2017 it had received 2,952 applications for asylum from unaccompanied children. “In the same period, it had raised 705 age disputes, roughly 1 in 4. “Of the 705, 618 had been resolved. In 216 (35%) of these 618 cases, the Local Authority assessed the claimant to be under 18, and in 402 (65%) cases they were assessed to be over 18 (an adult).” The Chief Inspector’s office confirmed to us that 65% refers only to assessed unaccompanied children. The Home Office figure for all assessed children found to be adults in 2016 (the last year for which we know the total number of children seeking asylum) is similar – 61%. There are some health warnings attached to the quality of these data sources, and their comparability. Firstly, the 61% figure is indicative, not precise. In the Home Office data not all of the age disputes raised or resolved in 2016 were necessarily for asylum applications made that year. Some may have related to earlier asylum applications. In addition, the Home Office figures and those from the Chief Inspector don’t quite cover the same thing. The figures used by the Chief Inspector look at the number of age disputes raised from July 2016 to June 2017 and records the final decision even if this was made after June 2017. The Home Office figures only look at the number of disputes raised and the number finalised within a given year. Finally, there is some doubt over the quality of the asylum figures. The Chief Inspector found inconsistency in whether or not applicants who looked “significantly” over 18 (and were subject to an immediate decision on their age and not a formal age dispute) were recorded in the statistics. ## The one in eight figure appears to be an over estimate As for the one in eight figure, this also uses the figures published by the Chief Inspector. It’s calculated by dividing the 402 cases where unaccompanied children were deemed to be over 18 by the 2,952 applications from unaccompanied children, giving 14%. But, it’s incorrect to say this is the proportion of “child refugees” who are found to be adults, as the figures only relates to unaccompanied children seeking asylum, not all children. Asylum applications from unaccompanied children made up around one third of all asylum applications involving children in 2016. As mentioned above, in 2016, there were around 9,800 applicants and 370 age disputes that decided the applicant was over 18. * By Abbas Panjwani * Share this: * Twitter * Facebook ## Was this helpful?

THE flows have fallen throughout Europe, it's not that they have fallen in Italy, they are drop down everywhere." (min. 19' 20'') Source: Che tempo che fa – Rai | January 27, 2019 facebook twitter whatsapp email ![\\"Handle\\"](\\"\\") Handle Brief verdict Pinocchio going On 27 January 2019 Enrico Letta, interviewed on Che tempo che fa on the first Rai channel, contested a statement by the Minister of the Interior Matteo Salvini: according to the former Prime Minister, the decrease in arrivals of migrants does not only concern Italy, but also all other countries Europeans. Salvini would therefore have no reason to claim success particular for its policies, in relation to the decrease in flows. We checked. The European data According to UNHCR data (the High United Nations Commissioner for Refugees), between January and December 139,300 migrants arrived in Europe in 2018, recording a decrease of 33,024 attendance: around 20 percent less than 2017, when 172,324 people reached European shores. The drop is even more significant if read in comparison with 2016 (363,425 arrivals) and with 2015, the year in which the number reached a maximum peak of 1,015,877 migrants. As a percentage, compared to 2015, flows across Europe in 2018 fell by 86.28% hundred. However, we must make a clarification: the data provided by the UNHCR for the 2018 concerns migrants who arrived in Europe by sea and by land in Italy, Greece and Spain, to which must be added 2,211 people who landed in Cyprus and Malta. Speaking of irregular migration by land, the countries involved are Spain and Greece. In the first case we refer to those who have in 2018 reached the Spanish enclaves in Africa of Ceuta and Melilla. For Greece, instead, these are migrants who arrive in the country's territories from where they come from from the border with Turkey. For previous years and, therefore, from 2015 to 2017, only arrivals by sea are considered. Flows in rise towards Spain and Greece The reduction in the number of arrivals in 2018 did not however, it is homogeneous in all countries of first arrival. According to the Travel report desperate people drawn up by the UNHCR, while in Italy arrivals have decreased by 80 percent in 2018 compared to 2017, Spain and Greece recorded an increase of 131 percent and 45 percent, respectively. The change of direction was gradual over the twelve months. It reads in fact in the dossier that «in the first half of the year the number of people arrived in Greece rather than in Italy or Spain, while in the second half Spain became the main entry point, from moment that an ever-increasing number of people have attempted the dangerous crossing along the western Mediterranean route". ![\\"graph\\"](\\"imagefly/chart_default/650/365/i-migratory-flows-to- leuropa\\"/) Graph 1: Migration flows towards Europe (Italy, Greece, Spain) in 2017 and 2018 – Source: UNHCR Matteo Salvini's statement On a side note: the dramatic drop in landings in Italy is to be attributed exclusively to the action of Matteo Salvini? As highlighted by an in-depth analysis of the Institute of International Politics (ISPI) published on 1 October 2018 and based on the reprocessing of data provided by UNHCR, the number of arrivals in Italy has seen a progressive reduction starting from July 2017, continuing "in a linear manner over the following eleven months". In this period the government in office was led by Paolo Gentiloni and the minister of the Interior was Marco Minniti. The ISPI study compares the data of the previous government with the action of the current one, until September 2018: yes reads that «the period that corresponds to Salvini's policies record a further reduction in landings (around 61 per day): one contraction equivalent to 48 percent compared to the policy period Minniti, and 89 percent if compared with the last phase of the "crisis migratory" in Italy" (16 July 2016 – 15 July 2017). The data is confirmed also from the UNHCR "Desperate Journeys" report where it is underlined that «although arrivals by sea in Italy were already significant decreased starting from July 2017, from June 2018 there was a further decline following Italy's decision to no longer allow it disembarkation in Italian ports of refugees and migrants rescued by NGOs and ships merchant ships off the Libyan coast, in what has become the Zone of Libyan search and rescue (Search and Rescue Region/SRR)". The Enrico verdict Letta, guest on Che tempo che fa, underlined how this is not correct associate the merit of the decline in migratory flows solely with the choices made in the last months from Italy (as Matteo Salvini seems to do) since we are witnessing a general decrease in flows towards the entire European continent. There humanitarian crisis of 2015 – when more than a million people have reached European shores – saw an overall downsizing already in 2016 and 2017. The significant decline in flows in Europe in 2018 was however driven by the Italian data. Last year, while in Italy the number of arrivals continued to decline, landings increased in Greece and, especially, in Spain. Enrico Letta is therefore wrong when he states that i flows "have fallen throughout Europe": in Greece and Spain they have increased considerable way.

By Jessica McDonald, Kate Yandell, Lori Robertson, Eugene Kiely, Robert Farley, D\'Angelo Gore and Saranac Hale Spencer Posted on August 22, 2024 | Updated on September 3, 2024 This article is available in both English and Español English Español * * * * * ## Summary Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz accepted his party’s vice presidential nomination, and repeated claims he has made before about the Republican ticket. Other speakers tried to link former President Donald Trump to Project 2025, among other claims. * Walz made the unsupported claim that Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, will “gut Social Security and Medicare.” Trump has promised not to cut either program. * Walz said the Republican ticket “will ban abortion across this country with or without Congress.” Trump and Vance voiced support for a national ban of some kind in the past, but now both say the abortion issue should be left to the states. * Several speakers cited Project 2025, a conservative plan published by the Heritage Foundation, and tied Trump to its policies. Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester of Delaware went so far as to falsely say Trump “wrote” it. He did not. Trump has distanced himself from Project 2025, saying “it doesn’t speak for me.” * Colorado Gov. Jared Polis called Project 2025 “Donald Trump’s roadmap to ban abortion in all 50 states,” alluding to the document’s suggestion that the Comstock Act should be enforced to prevent the mailing of abortion pills. But Trump recently said he would not enforce the Comstock Act. * Polis’ claim that Project 2025 “puts limits on contraception” and “threatens access to IVF” requires more context. But Trump has said he supports both contraceptives and in vitro fertilization, or IVF. * House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries misleadingly claimed that “83% of the benefits” from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “went to the wealthiest 1% in America.” That’s estimated to be the case in 2027, if the income tax changes in the 2017 law expire. In earlier years, the top 1% of income earners received a much smaller share of the benefits. * Along the same lines, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg claimed that Trump only kept a promise to “cut taxes for the rich,” when the Tax Policy Center estimated that the tax law “would reduce taxes on average for all income groups.” * Former President Bill Clinton said Trump had “implied that if his beautiful people voted one more time, they’d be able to rig it. From now on, they wouldn’t have to vote again.” Trump didn’t say he would rig anything. * Buttigieg said that “crime was higher on his watch,” referring to Trump’s presidency. Murders and aggravated assaults went up, though the increase all came in 2020. The overall violent crime rate, however, declined slightly. * Finally, Clinton claimed that since 1989 a total of 50 million jobs were added under Democratic presidents, while just 1 million were added under Republican presidents. The stat checks out, but it’s a bit cherry-picked and is greatly influenced by factors outside a president’s control. ## Analysis ## Social Security and Medicare Walz, like other convention speakers this week, made the unsupported claim that Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, will “gut Social Security and Medicare.” He said it while predicting what will happen “if these guys get back in the White House.” Trump has promised to protect both programs for seniors, if elected, and he hasn’t released any detailed proposal to cut either program. However, his plan to eliminate taxes on Social Security income for seniors could result in reduced Social Security and Medicare benefits in the next decade, unless Trump provides a plan to replace the revenues that both programs would lose under his no-tax plan. Otherwise, a future Congress and president would have to replace the lost funds. As we’ve written before, Trump’s budgets when he was president didn’t propose cuts to Social Security’s retirement benefits, although his budgets did propose cutting the Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income programs. His budgets also included bipartisan proposals to reduce the growth of Medicare without cutting benefits. Democrats have accused Trump of wanting to cut Social Security and Medicare based on his comments in a March 11 interview with CNBC. When asked how he would address the rising costs of both programs, Trump said: “So first of all, there is a lot you can do in terms of entitlements in terms of cutting and in terms of also the theft and the bad management of entitlements, tremendous bad management of entitlements.” His campaign said Trump was talking about cutting waste and fraud, not benefits. ## Abortion Ban After predicting that Trump and Vance would “gut Social Security and Medicare,” Walz repeated the outdated claim that “they will ban abortion across this country with or without Congress.” Trump used to support that position, but now says the issue should be left entirely up to each individual state. Walz has made this claim before, including at his first campaign appearance as a vice presidential candidate. At a rally with Harris in Philadelphia, Walz said Trump “said he’d ban abortion across this country.” In his 2016 campaign and as president, Trump supported a federal abortion ban after 20 weeks of pregnancy. In a letter to anti-abortion leaders in 2016, he said he would sign a bill that would institute that ban, with some exceptions for victims of rape or incest and if the mother’s life is in danger. He made the same commitment while speaking to March for Life participants in January 2018. Since then, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the court’s 1973 decision establishing a constitutional right to abortion, due to the three justices Trump was able to appoint to the court. The court’s June 2022 ruling returned the jurisdiction on abortion rights to the states. Now, Trump says he won’t support a national ban. On April 8, he released a four-minute video on Truth Social saying that he would leave the abortion issue to the states. “The states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land,” Trump said. Two days later, he definitively said “no” when asked whether he would sign a national abortion ban if Congress passed one. During his 2022 election, Vance told the Cincinnati Enquirer that abortion should be “primarily a state issue,” but he left open the possibility of “some minimum national standard.” More recently, Vance, in an Aug. 11 interview on CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” said that “we need to let the states decide their specific abortion policy.” “I think that what we really want is when states and voters in those states make decisions, we of course want the states and the federal government to respect those decisions, and that’s what President Trump has said is, consistently, we need to get out of the culture war side of the abortion issue,” Vance said. “We need to let the states decide their specific abortion policy.” What states do could have national implications — regardless of Trump’s position — since lawsuits over those actions could eventually make their way to the Supreme Court. That’s how Roe was overturned: The court ruled on a challenge to a Mississippi law that banned abortion after 15 weeks. The 2024 Republican platform also said that states would determine the issue. However, the platform refers to laws that would grant fetuses the same rights as people. The news site the 19th wrote that if states passed the so-called fetal “personhood” laws, it “would have the practical effect of prohibiting abortion at all stages of pregnancy. Its impact could become national if courts affirm state-level laws that extend the application of the 14th Amendment to fetuses.” ## Project 2025 and Abortion Several speakers cited Project 2025, a conservative plan for a future administration published by the Heritage Foundation, and tied Trump to the policies in the 900-page document. Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester of Delaware went so far as to say Trump “wrote” it. He did not. Trump has distanced himself from the project and said he agrees with some things in it and disagrees with others, without offering many specifics. In April 2022, at a Heritage Foundation conference, Trump appeared to refer to the project, saying, “This is a great group, and they’re going to lay the groundwork and detail plans for exactly what our movement will do.” CNN has reported that more than 100 people involved in the project worked in the Trump administration. But the former president has said that some of it is “seriously extreme” and “I don’t know anything about it,” as he said in a July 22 rally in Michigan. “And it’s a group of very conservative people that probably like me, but it doesn’t matter because it doesn’t speak for me,” Trump said in an interview on “Fox & Friends” on July 25. “They wrote something that I disagree with in many cases — and in some cases, you agree.” Colorado Gov. Jared Polis called Project 2025 “Donald Trump’s roadmap to ban abortion in all 50 states,” alluding to the document’s suggestion that the Comstock Act should be enforced to prevent the mailing of abortion pills. But Trump recently has indicated he would not enforce the Comstock Act. “Look, that sounds crazy, but right here on page 562, it says that Donald Trump could use an obscure law from the 1800s to single-handedly ban abortion in all 50 states, even putting doctors in jail,” Polis said. Under a broad interpretation, the Comstock Act — an 1873 anti-vice law — could indeed be used to prohibit shipment of all abortion-related materials, with penalties involving imprisonment. The page Polis cited from Project 2025 suggests the act should be enforced specifically to prevent the mailing of abortion pills. More than half of all abortions in the U.S. are medication abortions. During an Aug. 19 interview with CBS News, when asked whether he would enforce the act, Trump said, “We will be discussing specifics of it, but generally speaking, no, I would not.” On the topic of the availability of abortion medications, Trump said: “Well, it’s going to be available, and it is now. And as I know it, the Supreme Court has said, ‘Keep it going the way it is.’ I will enforce and agree with the Supreme Court.” The Comstock Act includes a section that prohibits mailing every “article, instrument, substance, drug, medicine, or thing which is advertised or described in a manner calculated to lead another to use or apply it for producing abortion.” Possible penalties for using the mail in such a way include fines, imprisonment of up to five years or both for a first offense. As Polis suggested, Project 2025 advocates on page 562 that the Department of Justice “in the next conservative Administration” should “announce its intent to enforce federal law against providers and distributors of such pills,” referring to abortion pills and referencing the Comstock Act. Health policy experts have suggested that the Comstock Act could be interpreted even more broadly. “A literal interpretation of the Comstock Act would criminalize sending and receiving shipments of any materials necessary to provide any kind of abortion care without exceptions, although it would be practically impossible to enforce,” according to an article published by KFF, a nonprofit health policy research organization. ## Project 2025 and Contraception, IVF, Working Dads Polis’ claim that Project 2025 “puts limits on contraception” and “threatens access to IVF” requires more context. But Trump has said he supports both contraceptives and IVF. Project 2025 does not call for placing direct limits on typical contraception methods, such as birth control pills or intrauterine devices, or IUDs, as PolitiFact has explained. It does, however, want to remove mandatory insurance coverage for Ella, an emergency contraceptive that works up to five days after sexual intercourse (page 485), and rescind a rule the Biden administration proposed that relates to moral and religious exemptions for employers who do not wish to cover contraceptives for their employees (page 483). Project 2025 explains that it wishes to “eliminate” Ella from the government’s contraceptive mandate because it is a “potential abortifacient,” or capable of inducing an abortion. The Affordable Care Act requires that health insurance plans cover preventive care, including contraception, at no cost to the patient. Emergency contraceptives, however, work by preventing ovulation and pregnancy, and the idea that they cause abortions is not backed by science. The document also says policymakers “should end taxpayer funding” of Planned Parenthood because the organization performs abortions. This could indirectly limit access to contraception, since many people rely on Planned Parenthood for those services. Project 2025 doesn’t directly address IVF, either. Some statements, however, could be interpreted to support fetal “personhood” laws, or the idea that embryos or fetuses should be granted the same rights as a person who has been born. “From the moment of conception, every human being possesses inherent dignity and worth, and our humanity does not depend on our age, stage of development, race, or abilities,” page 450 reads. “The Secretary must ensure that all HHS programs and activities are rooted in a deep respect for innocent human life from day one until natural death: Abortion and euthanasia are not health care.” Fetal “personhood” laws complicate IVF because in the procedure eggs are retrieved and mixed with sperm to create embryos in the lab. Embryos are typically frozen and transferred to a patient’s uterus one at a time, as needed. Leftover embryos are often discarded. In February, Alabama’s state Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are legally children and patients could sue clinics for the wrongful death of their embryos. Before a state law was passed that explicitly gave IVF clinics and patients immunity, several clinics halted their services because they did not want to risk legal jeopardy. Trump has been clear that he supports IVF, as we’ve written. “I strongly support the availability of IVF for couples who are trying to have a precious baby,” he said in a video he posted to social media in April. The 2024 GOP platform, which Trump endorsed, also affirms support for IVF, although it simultaneously nods to fetal personhood — without making clear how it reconciles the two issues. Trump has similarly maintained support for contraceptives. “I HAVE NEVER, AND WILL NEVER ADVOCATE IMPOSING RESTRICTIONS ON BIRTH CONTROL, or other contraceptives,” he wrote in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, in May. We asked the Trump campaign to comment specifically on emergency contraception, but did not receive a reply. Polis also went too far when he claimed Project 2025 “says the only legitimate family is a married mother and father where only the father works.” The document states that families with a mother and father who are married “are the foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society” and extols the benefits of working fathers — but does not say mothers shouldn’t work. ## Misleading Tax Claims Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, the House minority leader, misleadingly claimed that “Trump was the mastermind of the GOP tax scam, where 83% of the benefits went to the wealthiest 1% in America.” Jeffries was referring to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which Trump signed into law in December 2017. As we’ve written, the Tax Policy Center did estimate that about 83% of the tax benefits would go to the top 1% of earners – but not until 2027, a year after the law’s individual income tax cuts are scheduled to expire. At that point, the remaining tax cuts for corporations would largely benefit individuals in that income group. Before then, the top 1% would receive a smaller share of the tax law’s benefits, the TPC said. In 2018, 20.5% of the tax cut benefits would go to that group of income earners, and by 2025 — the year before the tax changes expire — the share of the tax cuts going to the wealthiest 1% would increase to about one-quarter. Overall, the TPC analysis said that the TCJA “would reduce taxes on average for all income groups in both 2018 and 2025” — contradicting Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s claim that “the only economic promise that [Trump] actually kept was to cut taxes for the rich.” Higher-income groups would see larger tax cuts, on average, but other income groups also would benefit from Trump’s tax cuts, the nonpartisan tax analysts said. ## Trump’s ‘Won’t Have to Vote Anymore’ Comments Both former President Bill Clinton and talk show host/author Oprah Winfrey referenced a somewhat cryptic comment Trump made last month at a conservative Christian summit hosted by the political advocacy arm of Turning Point USA. Clinton claimed that Trump had “implied that if his beautiful people voted one more time, they’d be able to rig it. From now on, they wouldn’t have to vote again.” Trump didn’t promise to “rig” anything. Rather, he made a vague comment about voting and hasn’t done much to clarify it. Winfrey made a general reference to Trump’s comment, saying, “Now, there’s a certain candidate that says, if we just go to the polls this one time, that we’ll never have to do it again.” At the end of his roughly hourlong speech on July 26, Trump said: “If you want to save America — get your friends, get your family, get everyone you know and vote. Vote early, vote absentee, vote on Election Day — I don’t care how, but you have to get out and vote. And, Christians, get out and vote — just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore — four more years, you know what, it’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians. I love you Christians. I’m a Christian. I love you. Get out, you’ve got to get out and vote. In four years you don’t have to vote again, we’ll have it fixed so good you’re not going to have to vote.” That comment generated press coverage, including the Trump campaign’s response to a request to clarify the remarks. Campaign spokesman Steven Cheung didn’t directly answer, but said Trump “was talking about uniting this country,” when asked about it by Reuters. Some Democratic politicians took to social media to suggest that Trump was hinting at authoritarianism. Three days after Trump made his remarks, Fox News’ Laura Ingraham pressed him to clarify, although he largely reiterated his initial comments, saying that if Christians vote for him in this election, “We won’t even need your vote anymore because, frankly, we will have such love, if you don’t want to vote anymore, that’s OK.” Ingraham then asked if he would leave office after a four-year term. “Of course and, by the way, I did last time,” said Trump, who did leave office in 2020, while falsely claiming that the election had been stolen from him after he lost to President Joe Biden. Update, Sept. 3: In an Aug. 27 interview, Phil McGraw, known as Dr. Phil, also asked Trump to clarify his statement. “You didn’t mean vote me in once because I ain’t ever leaving, you’re meaning this is an important one. Vote this time,” McGraw said. To which Trump responded, “Of course that’s what I meant.” ## Crime Buttigieg said that “crime was higher on his watch,” referring to Trump’s presidency. Murders and aggravated assaults went up, though the increase all came in 2020. The overall violent crime rate, however, declined slightly. The nationwide murder rate increased from 5.4 per 100,000 population in 2016, the year before Trump took office, to 6.8 in 2020, according to the FBI’s 2022 Crime in the United States report, the most recent report available. (See Table 1 after downloading the CIUS Estimations file.) The aggravated assault rate went from 250.4 to 277.2. The overall violent crime rate, however, which also includes rape and robbery, dropped from 389.9 in 2016 to 385.2 in 2020. The property crime rate was down, too, from 2,467.5 in 2016 to 1,963.9 in 2020, a 20.4% decline. The big increase in murders came in 2020, when the number of murders rose 32.2%. Experts have told us that several factors were likely behind the increase, most notably the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused a loss of jobs and disproportionately affected vulnerable populations. Under the Biden/Harris administration, the rate and number of murders have gone down, after a small uptick in the number of murders in 2021. Preliminary FBI figures for 2023 and the first quarter of 2024 — as well as data collected by other groups, such as the Major Cities Chiefs Association — indicate that downward trend has continued, as we’ve written. Despite the ongoing disagreement between the Harris and Trump campaigns over violent crime, experts say that presidents, regardless of party, have little to do with noticeable changes in crime. The late criminologist Richard Rosenfeld, who wrote about crime trends for the nonpartisan Council on Criminal Justice at the end of his long career in this field, told us in 2021 that presidents “can facilitate a response,” citing an initiative by Biden at the time to work with cities to reduce gun violence. “But no president, in my memory, has ever single-handedly been responsible for a sharp crime increase or for that matter a sharp crime decline. Crime is driven by other factors and the president has little control over those factors.” “Who is in the White House has little to no direct connection to what is inherently a state/local crime problem,” John L. Worrall, a criminal justice professor at the University of Texas at Dallas, also told us. ## Clinton’s Triple-Checked Jobs Stat Former President Bill Clinton cited a statistic about jobs created under Democratic presidents versus Republican ones since 1989, and he said he triple-checked it. “You’re going to have a hard time believing this, but so help me, I triple- checked it,” Clinton said. “Since the end of the Cold War in 1989, America has created about 51 million new jobs. I swear I checked this three times, even I couldn’t believe it. What’s the score? Democrats 50, Republicans 1.” Despite Clinton’s assurances, and his history of giving fact-checkers little fodder, we decided we better check it a fourth time. And we found that, under the framing Clinton provided, he’s right. Since 1989, there was a net of 1.3 million jobs added under Republican presidents (George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush and Donald Trump) and 50.3 million under Democratic presidents (Clinton, Barack Obama and Biden), according to employment data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. (Technical note: The BLS on Aug. 21 announced that its preliminary estimate for the annual benchmark revisions to employment data indicates that 818,000 fewer jobs were created in the last 12 months, which would drop the total for Democratic presidents to about 49.5 million. The BLS said the final revision will be issued next year.) But some caveats are in order. Democrats were in office longer — 16 years under Republicans to 19.5 years under Democrats. (Had Clinton included statistics from President Ronald Reagan, say, that would’ve added 16 million jobs to the Republican ledger.) More importantly, factors largely outside a president’s control often shape the job market. For example, there were 6.4 million jobs added in Trump’s first three years in office, according to the BLS. And then the pandemic hit. Between February and April 2020, 21.9 million jobs were lost. Nearly 12.5 million of those jobs had returned by the time Trump left office, but the entirety of Trump’s presidency shows a net loss of 2.7 million jobs. Conversely, there have been 15.8 million jobs created during Biden’s presidency as of July, pending the final benchmark revision to be issued in February 2025. But many of those were jobs recovered after the pandemic subsided. There are now 6.4 million more people employed than before the pandemic hit.

Rating: Mixture About this rating A graphic purportedly showing the leading causes of death in the United States during the first half of 2016 was widely circulated on Facebook in June 2016, its most eye-catching feature being that the number one entry was abortion while the lowest-ranked entry was murder by firearm: ![\\"causes](\\" Advertisement: The list was problematic in several aspects, however. First of all, the displayed figures for 2016 are simply projections based on past trends, as up- to-date information of this nature simply isn\'t available. The most recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) concerning causes of death tallies mortality data from 2014. Second, although this list (put together by the web site Romans322.com) relies heavily upon mortality data compiled by the CDC, that organization does not record abortion as a cause of death. The leading causes of death in the United States in 2014, according to CDC, were heart disease, cancer, and respiratory disease: * Heart disease: 614,348 * Cancer: 591,699 * Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 147,101 * Accidents (unintentional injuries): 136,053 * Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 133,103 * Alzheimer\'s disease: 93,541 * Diabetes: 76,488 * Influenza and pneumonia: 55,227 * Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 48,146 * Intentional self-harm (suicide): 42,773 Advertisement: During that same year the FBI recorded 8,124 murders by firearms in the United States, a statistic that would indeed rank below all other entries on this list. The usefulness of this information to make a point about gun issues is somewhat questionable, however. None of the entries on the list save for the last involves intentional killing, while nearly every other entry on the list other than the last references some form of medical malady. It\'s an inescapable fact that everyone who manages to avoid being killed (intentionally or otherwise) by someone or something else first will eventually die of some sort of medical condition. ### By Dan Evon Dan Evon is a former writer for Snopes. ## Article Tags Abortion Gun Deaths Causes Of Death Recommendations Advertisement: ![\\"Snopes.com\\"](\\"/design/images/logo-main.png\\") Company About Us FAQs Contact Us Submit a Topic Navigate Home Search Archive Newsletters Random Sections Latest Top Fact Checks News Account Join Login Game FactBot Like Us on Facebook Follow Us on Twitter © 1995 - 2024 by Snopes Media Group Inc.

Europe / 2. Europe: Control # £350 million EU claim \"a clear misuse of official statistics\" 19 September 2017 ##### What was claimed After leaving the EU, we will take back control of roughly £350 million per week. ##### Our verdict This is wrong, it’s more like £250 million a week. In any case the impact on the economy from changes to trade after leaving the EU is likely to be far bigger than savings from the UK’s membership fee. The UK Statistics Authority has criticised Boris Johnson for “a clear misuse of official statistics”. Mr Johnson wrote in the Telegraph last week: > “And yes – once we have settled our accounts, we will take back control of > roughly £350 million per week. It would be a fine thing, as many of us have > pointed out, if a lot of that money went on the NHS”. We have never paid the EU £350 million a week and we have never owed the EU £350 million a week. After we leave the EU, that means we cannot take back control of £350 million a week. However you adjust the claim to make it more accurate, it will always miss the key context: economists on both sides during the referendum predicted that the impact on the economy from changes to trade and more would be far bigger than the UK’s EU membership fee. Honesty in public debate matters You can help us take action – and get our regular free email Sign up ## The UK rebate means we would never send or take back control of £350 million It was often claimed during the referendum that the UK “sends” £350 million a week to Brussels, and that this sum of money could be spent on other things like the NHS if we left the EU. This is wrong. £350 million is roughly what we would send to the EU budget if it wasn’t for the UK’s budget rebate. The rebate is effectively a discount on what we would otherwise be liable for. This rebate was negotiated by Margaret Thatcher in 1984 and the way it is calculated can’t be changed in future without the UK’s agreement. The closest—not perfect—analogy is that £350 million is like the amount a supermarket till displays before the discounts are applied. You never pay it and you never owe it. The number is just one step towards the final bill. The UK actually pays around £250 million a week. We also get some money back from the EU, but that isn’t fully under our control, as Mr Johnson points out. Mr Johnson’s most recent claim in the Telegraph is still inaccurate, despite his more careful wording: it doesn’t make sense to talk about taking back control over money that is never sent and never owed to anyone else. ## This needs to be corrected Mr Johnson has not, as far as we know, explicitly distanced himself from last year’s £350m claim—if anything the current claim echoes it—even though it was called “potentially misleading” and, after it continued to be used, simply “misleading” by the UK Statistics Authority last year (under the leadership of a previous Chair). Mr Johnson’s latest claim is also inaccurate. While it would be helpful for the Authority to explain why it has worded its latest letter more strongly in response to a less inaccurate version of the claim, the more pressing need is for an apology and correction from Mr Johnson to set the record straight. \-- We\'ve published a more detailed analysis of the letters from the UK Statistics Authority and the Foreign Secretary. * By Full Fact Team * Share this: * Twitter * Facebook ## Was this helpful?

CLAIM After 50 people were killed in the terror attacks on two mosques in New Zealand\'s Christchurch on Friday, 15 March, claims of 350 people in the country accepting Islam have gone viral. A website named ‘loveforislamic.blogspot.com\' carried a report titled “50 Muslims were killed on Friday in New Zealand & 350 people accepted Islam today in New Zealand” and the same claims have been shared across social media platforms Twitter and Facebook. “...there are also some rumours that this news is fake we confirmed it from our source but still waiting for the media to cover it, as soon as possible the media started showing it many more Muslims will revert to Islam, by the will of Allah (God) Islam will be the fastest growing religion, Many people were asking proofs so, one member on our page commented and admits that she accepted Islam with more than 350 people in New Zealand, and she was also from New Zealand,” the page said. A website called Kashmir Glacier also carried the story, but took it down later. ![\\"After](\\"\\") ![\\"After](\\"\\") > Around 50 people were martyred on last Friday in New Zealand Christchurch > terror attack and today more than 350 people in New Zealand accepted > Islamâ¤This is Islam!The more you kill, the more it > grows#ChristchurchTerrorAttack pic.twitter.com/kpKf9WZZ9U > > — Momina Basit (@MominaBasit1) March 19, 2019 > 50 Muslims were killed on Friday in New Zealand & 350 people accepted Islam > today in New Zealand > > — Daily Islamic Quotes © (@MyIslamicQoutes) March 18, 2019 > 15 मारà¥à¤ à¤à¥ 50 मà¥à¤¸à¥à¤²à¤¿à¤® à¤à¥ > à¤à¤¤à¤à¤à¤µà¤¾à¤¦à¤¿à¤¯à¥ नॠशहà¥à¤¦ à¤à¤° दिया > à¤à¤ नà¥à¤¯à¥ à¤à¥à¤²à¥à¤à¤¡ सॠहॠà¤à¤¬à¤° à¤à¤°à¤¹à¥ > हॠà¤à¤¿ 350 लà¥à¤à¥ नॠà¤à¤¸à¥à¤²à¤¾à¤® à¤à¤¼à¥à¤¬à¥à¤² > à¤à¤° लिया ð50 Muslims were killed on Friday in New Zealand & > 350 people accepted Islam today in New Zealand pic.twitter.com/oQdmiAYGMz > > — Sadiya (@SadiyaSadaf3) March 18, 2019 A set of photos and videos too went viral along with the claim. > Did you know?The terrorist attack in #Christchurch killed 51 Muslims, today > approximately 350 people have converted/reverted back to #Islam in New > Zealand.Stop fearing/hating Islam, please try to understand > it.#NewZealandShooting #Islamophobia pic.twitter.com/X02TditdBI > > — Zain Khan (@ZKhanOfficial) March 18, 2019 A video has also been circulating along with the claim.

FACT Since there were no media reports on this, The Quint reached out to New Zealand journalists to confirm the claims. Alex van Wel, News Director at Radio New Zealand’s Christchurch office, confirmed that the claims made in the blog was “fake”, adding that “there is no record of this having happened at all after the attack.” That’s not all. The images shared on social media along with the claim are also false. The images circulated have existed on the internet before the attack took place. ![\\"After](\\"\\") ![\\"After](\\"\\") Meanwhile, the video circulated was originally posted on YouTube in 2008 and supposedly shows “Germans accepting Islam”, as claimed in the caption.

But conservative commentator Candace Owens misinterpreted the document to imply that what the agency was proposing was to put high-risk Americans in camps, wrongly comparing it to the “Germany of the 1930s”. ## Full story Last year, the CDC posted a document on its website that evaluated the called a safeguarding strategy to limit the number of serious cases of COVID-19 in “humanitarian settings,” such as human camps displaced. Under this strategy, people at highest risk of developing COVID-19 serious illness, such as those with underlying medical illnesses, would be separated from the general population of the camp in an effort to protect them from a infection with the new coronavirus. The CDC document, which is titled “Operational Considerations provisional measures to implement the protection strategy to prevent COVID-19 infections in humanitarian settings”, does not support the strategy but explains his reasoning and raises several potential concerns about it. But some conservatives, including popular commentator Candace Owens, have misinterpreted the text of the document to falsely claim that the agency is considering putting high-risk Americans in camps. ![\\"\\"](\\" The CDC actually produced a document that argues for putting people in high risk in camps to 'protect' people at low risk from them,” Owens wrote in a tweet on August 9, linking to the page of the CDC. “No, this is not a joke, and yes, each of the people who have made a reference to Germany in the 1930s have been vindicated,” he added. Owens. His tweet was later shared by multiple users on Instagram and Facebook. “I hope everyone realizes that the CDC has talked about putting people in camps to separate them from the low-risk population. Hello Germany Nazi!” says a message reposted on Facebook. “It's like I don't even They will try to hide these things.” Owens has already been the subject of numerous fact-checking articles, by us and by others, including stories about COVID-19. Other groups have also spread the false claim, including the news outlet conservative communication Epoch Times. “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention detailed in a July 26 report options for creating camps to isolate Americans amid the COVID-19 outbreak,” the media company in an Instagram post promoting a shoot live Q&A on August 10. That publication is accompanied by a photo of two healthcare workers wearing masks and head coverings with the American flag, with the question: “Does Camps CDC virus?” In fact, there are no “CDC virus camps” and the agency never proposed such thing. The report, furthermore, is from July 26 of last year, during the Trump administration. Jade Fulce, public affairs specialist at the CDC, told us that the agency report was specific to “humanitarian settings” and was created in response to a March 2020 document from the School of Hygiene and London Tropical Medicine that advised using a shelter-in-place strategy “in camps and similar settings for refugees and displaced people internal” in order to reduce the burden of COVID-19. That document, which states that “forcibly displaced populations… may be particularly vulnerable to COVID-19 epidemics due to overcrowding, lack of access to clean water and hygiene, and limited access to health services,” describes the creation of temporary “green zones” for vulnerable people to “limit, if not completely eliminate, contacts that may result in spread … between high- and low-risk people.” The CDC document explains that its purpose is to “highlight potential Strategy implementation challenges from the perspective of CDC and guide discussion around implementation, in the absence of data empirical", since the ideas of the document of the School of Hygiene and Medicine London Tropical have not been tested. “In theory, safeguarding can fulfill its objective of protecting populations “high risk of illness and death,” the CDC document mentions. “However, the implementation of this strategy requires compliance strict protocol. The accidental introduction of the virus into a green area may result in rapid spread among the most vulnerable populations that the strategy is trying to protect.” Far from endorsing the strategy, the agency details the multiple problems logistics and ethics of separating to protect, as proposed in the document from the United Kingdom. The study, for example, suggests that people with high risk to clean their own spaces, but the CDC notes that it could be a challenge if those individuals have disabilities or cannot move easily. Likewise, on the recommendation that each green area have a dedicated bathroom for high-risk people, the agency notes that the document also advises against starting any new construction, but that is unlikely there will be enough facilities beforehand. The CDC also raises concerns that more people than expected in displaced persons camps may be considered higher risk, complicating even more the execution of the approach; that camps might need continue the strategy for a long time; and that the reservation could have negative psychological impacts that could worsen mental health. Fulce explained that the CDC gave its opinion on the safeguarding strategy because the agency sees it as part of its global response work to the pandemic. "A way we support global partners is through interpretation and analysis of new data and research related to COVID-19,” he said. “CDC has identified several limitations on the use and impact of this type of protection in the general well-being and mental health of communities those who are asked to adopt it. Safeguarding can involve problems ethical issues that could be difficult to address,” Fulce added. “The CDC recommend a careful review of these limitations and ethical issues before considering protecting the population to prevent the spread of the COVID-19. This review can help avoid the negative consequences that "They could occur with the implementation of a reservation." Claims suggesting the CDC is planning to isolate high-risk Americans are, therefore, completely false. He document not only refers only to displaced people, but the agency's position on strategy is at best unenthusiastic, mainly highlighting the challenges and risks of a strategy of protection in places that are deciding whether to adopt it.

A: No. There is no federal prohibition, although several state and local governments previously had enacted such bans. ##### **FULL ANSWER** There is no law or proposed legislation at the federal level that bans smoking in cars with children present. Facebook users recently flagged a story as potentially false that was published in February on amomama.com under the headline: “Smoking in cars with children is illegal starting January 30, 2018.” They were right to be suspicious of the story. The article claims that, since the end of January, smoking in “any private vehicle” with minors present has been punishable by a $100 fine. It says the purported law is aimed at alleviating the (very real) effects of secondhand smoke. Although the story is false, it is based on a tiny kernel of truth. A link in the story leads to a news story posted by Yahoo Lifestyle about a bill, passed Jan. 30 by Alabama’s House of Representatives, that would ban smoking in cars with individuals under the age of 19 present. Violators of that proposed state law would incur a $100 fine. That does not mean that “a ban has been applied since last month,” as the article on amomama.com says. The legislation still must be approved by the state Senate, and Republican Gov. Kay Ivey would have to sign it. Even then, the law would not take effect until the “first day of the third month” following the Alabama governor’s approval, according to language in the bill. But the article does not say that it’s referring to an Alabama bill that hasn’t been enacted. Nor does it specify whether it refers to federal, state or local law. One of the last major federal tobacco-related bills to become law was 2010’s Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act. It did not prohibit smoking in cars with children present. On the other hand, there are eight states, as well as Puerto Rico and Guam, that already had laws to that effect prior to 2018, according to the Public Health Law Center. In addition, a number of cities and towns have passed ordinances of their own. Outside of the United States, England banned smoking in a car with kids in October 2015. The fine in the U.K. is £50, or currently about $70.

Social media # Viral image about pensioners and refugees is wrong on every single number 31 January 2019 ##### What was claimed British old age pensioners get £106 a week. ##### Our verdict A full British state pension is worth £125.95 or £164.35 a week before top-ups (depending on when you were born). ##### What was claimed Immigrants/refugees living in the UK get a weekly allowance of £250. ##### Our verdict Incorrect. People given refugee status in the UK are not entitled to any special allowances, but can claim the same benefits as any UK citizen. Asylum seekers are entitled to £37.75 per week and accommodation if they are homeless and can’t afford food. ##### What was claimed British old age pensioners get a weekly spouse allowance of £25 a week. ##### Our verdict A state pensioner may get an “Adult Dependency Increase” worth up to £68.35 a week if they have a partner who is financially dependent on them. They must have claimed before 2010 and it will no longer be paid from April 2020. ##### What was claimed Illegal immigrants and refugees living in Britain get a weekly spouse allowance of £225. ##### Our verdict Incorrect. There is no weekly spouse allowance for refugees. People staying in the UK illegally are not entitled to claim any benefits. ##### What was claimed British old age pensioners get a weekly hardship allowance of £0. ##### Our verdict Correct, insofar as the “weekly hardship allowance” doesn’t exist. Pensioners can claim additional benefits to help with their income. ##### What was claimed Illegal immigrants and refugees living in Britain get a weekly hardship allowance of £100. ##### Our verdict Incorrect. This allowance does not exist. ##### What was claimed A British old age pensioner gets a yearly benefit of £6,000. ##### Our verdict A full British state pension is worth up to £6,500 or £8,500 per year. Pensioners may also qualify for top-ups, partner support, and additional benefits. ##### What was claimed Illegal immigrants and refugees living in Britain get a yearly benefit of £29,900. ##### Our verdict Incorrect. People who are staying in the UK illegally cannot claim any benefits. People living in the UK as refugees are entitled to the same benefit and pension payments as any UK citizen. This means it’s theoretically possible for them to get that sum, but it’s highly unlikely due to the benefit cap. __1 of 8 claims ![\\"\\"](\\"/media/uploads/FB-post-pensioners-refugees.jpg\\"/)We’ve seen versions of this post about state support for pensioners and refugees, which has been shared almost 2,000 times on Facebook, before. We first checked the very same figures back in 2012, and we also checked a similar version last year. It’s incorrect on every figure. A full British state pension (before top-ups and without partner support) is worth either £126 a week or £164 a week (around £6,500 or £8,500 per year) depending on when you were born. Partner support for a state pension recipient is worth up to £68 a week (around £3,500 per year)—but has not been open to new applicants since 2010 and will end next year. People staying in the UK illegally aren’t entitled to claim anything from the UK state. Refugees in the UK (in other words, people who have had an asylum claim approved) aren’t entitled to any particular benefits aimed at them. They can receive the same benefit and pension payments as any UK citizen. It is theoretically possible to receive £29,900 a year in household benefits, but this would be unusually high. Asylum seekers (who are applying for refugee status in the UK) are entitled to around £38 per week per person if they are homeless and unable to afford food.

The full basic state pension is £125.95 a week (excluding top ups) for a man born before 6 April 1951 or a woman born before 6 April 1953. Pensioners born after this date can claim the new state pension—the full weekly rate is £164.35. People need to have 30 qualifying years (or 35 for the new state pension) of national insurance contributions to claim the full rate. Given that the viral image refers to a pensioner who paid national insurance their entire working life, we can assume that they have the 30 qualifying years. This means a full state pension is worth around £6,500 a year before top- ups—or around £8,500 if it’s the new state pension. We are not aware of any “hardship allowance” for pensioners, but they can claim state benefits (some of which are pensioner-specific) to help with their income. ## What about pensioners’ spouses? A pensioner’s spouse may be entitled to a state pension in their own right. Additionally, a state pensioner may get an “Adult Dependency Increase” if they have a partner who is financially dependent on them. The Department for Work and Pensions told us the full rate is £68.35 a week—around £3,500 a year. However, this hasn’t been open to new applicants since 2010, and will stop in April 2020. ## What can someone who is in the country illegally claim? Nothing. People who are staying in the UK illegally are likely to be removed if their immigration status is discovered by the authorities, so they wouldn’t be able to claim benefits without alerting the authorities to their status. They inherently do not have the right to work in the UK. ## What can a refugee claim? It depends whether you’re talking about an asylum seeker or a refugee. An asylum seeker (who is making an application for refugee status in the UK) can get £37.75 per week, if they are homeless and not able to afford food. They can also be allocated some form of accommodation (which they cannot choose and is unlikely to be in London or the South East). Asylum seekers don’t get a “spouse allowance”, rather an asylum seeker’s spouse would be entitled to the same amount in their own right if they were also seeking asylum. We aren’t aware of any “hardship allowance” for refugees (as was the case when we checked the claim in 2011), and have asked the Home Office for more information. This means an asylum seeker’s total entitlement is £37.75 per week (or £2,000 per year)—well below the £675 per week claimed in the viral image. ## Where does the £29,900 figure come from? If an asylum seeker is granted refugee status in the UK, they could then claim benefits, tax credits and pension payments on the same basis as UK nationals. There aren’t any specific benefits available just for refugees. It is theoretically possible—but very unlikely—for a refugee household to receive £29,900 a year in benefits, just as it is for UK nationals. This would only occur if they weren’t subject to the benefit cap. Under the cap, the maximum total benefits a household in London containing a couple or a single person with children can receive is £23,000, or around £442 a week. The cap is lower if you’re a single adult or live outside London. Some people are not affected by the benefits cap, for example people over state pension age, and people getting Universal Credit because of a disability or health condition that stops them working.

The economy # How does the royal family make money? 24 May 2018 ##### What was claimed The royal family brings in £400m a year in private revenue, of which £360m is kept by government under the Sovereign Act 2011. ##### Our verdict Incorrect. The Crown Estate brought in £330 million in 2017/18, this money goes to the government who then give the Queen a grant based on 25% of the Crown Estate’s income two years previously.But the Crown Estate isn’t the royal family’s private property. The Queen pays tax to government on her other private incomes. ##### What was claimed The Queen takes 15% of the crown estate profit each year - around £60m. ##### Our verdict Historically the Queen received a grant from the government based on 15% of the income from the Crown Estate, but this has gone up to 25% to pay for refurbishments to Buckingham Palace. In 2019/20 this will equate to about £82 million. __1 of 2 claims > “Family brings in 400 million a year in private revenue that under the > “sovereign act 2011” the government keeps £360 million of.” > > Facebook user, 19 May 2018 > > “Family brings in £1.8 b per year in tourism.” > > Twitter user, 18 May 2018 > > “The Queen takes 15% of the crown estates profit each year. Around > £60million.” > > Viral post sent to us by a reader. Following the wedding of Prince Harry to Meghan Markle, we’ve been asked to factcheck claims going round on social media about the royal family’s finances and contributions to the British economy. This follows claims that the wedding would be taxpayer funded—something we looked at in this factcheck. The royal finances are complex and reflect the way the monarchy’s role has changed over time. Currently the Queen’s income comes from three sources: the Sovereign Grant from the government and two private income sources. One of these she receives as sovereign and is passed down from sovereign to sovereign (the Privy Purse), and the other is income from her personal investments. Honesty in public debate matters You can help us take action – and get our regular free email Sign up ## Some of the Queen’s money comes from the Sovereign Grant Historically, the Sovereign was responsible for lots of government expenses and used income from their lands to help pay for this. As public taxes became more important than Crown lands income as the government’s primary source of revenue, King George III agreed to give the income from some Crown holdings to the Treasury in exchange for an annual payment. These holdings are collectively known as the Crown Estate. The estate includes lots of properties which generate income from things like rent. Over time, more and more income from Crown lands was handed over to government, and as such the Sovereign was directly responsible for less and less government expense. The profits of the Crown Estate are public money and all go to the Treasury. This is then collected together with the income the Treasury gets from general taxation and other sources, into one pot: the “Consolidated Fund”. We’ll refer to this pot as “public money”; most of it comes from general taxation, but some of it is from non-tax sources (such as the Crown Estate profits). The Treasury then pays the Sovereign Grant to the Queen, which is currently calculated as the equivalent of 25% of the Crown Estate’s profits two years previously. The amount of the grant isn’t determined by how much the royal family plans to spend. In any year, the Treasury always pays at least as much as it paid in Sovereign Grant the previous year, so if the Crown Estate’s profits were to go down then the Grant would not (and so would end up being more than 25%). This hasn’t happened yet; since the Sovereign Grant replaced the old system of funding the monarchy in 2011, the estate’s profits have increased each year. It used to be 15% but was increased this year to pay for refurbishments to Buckingham Palace and will stay at 25% for 10 years. In 2019/20 the Queen will receive £82 million. Any unspent money goes into the Sovereign Grant Reserve each year. ## That doesn’t mean the government is taking the Queen’s private revenue It’s incorrect to say that government keeps £360 million of the royal family’s “private revenue”. In 2017/18, the Crown Estate made about £330 million profit. As we’ve said this all goes into Consolidated Fund before the government pays the Sovereign Grant which is based on 25% of Estate profits. But the Crown Estate isn’t the royal family’s private property. The Queen herself is part of the state—specifically, Head of State. So the land she owns as Head of State, (meaning the Crown Estate) can be described as the Sovereign’s “public estate.” The Treasury say of the Crown Estate, “while it is part of the public sector, it is not government property. “Nor is it part of the monarch’s private estate.” ## The Queen does have two private sources of money The Queen also receives private income from two other sources. One is the Privy Purse, used to meet the some of the Sovereign’s and royal family’s private and official expenditure. It’s funded by other landholdings, collectively called the Duchy of Lancaster. These include rural areas in Lancashire and Yorkshire, but also urban holdings in central London near the Savoy hotel. In the year to March 2018, the income from the Duchy was around £20 million. The other is private investment income from holdings such as from the Royal Stud at Sandringham or Balmoral Castle. These aren’t owned by the “Sovereign” as an abstract entity, but by the Queen personally. As this is private income, we don’t know how much this amounts to. The Queen pays tax on private income and income from the Duchy of Lancaster. It’s impossible to know the wider economic benefit of the monarchy exactly Some of the claims following the Royal Wedding argue that we shouldn’t begrudge the monarchy the public costs from the Royal Wedding (for example security), because they create so much economic benefit. One estimate came from consultancy Brand Finance who said that in 2017 the monarchy contributed £1.8 billion to the UK economy, of which around £550 million came from tourism. This is a gross figure (so before the estimated costs have been subtracted). The net contribution estimate is £1.5 billion a year. This estimate is largely subjective depending on what factors you think should or shouldn’t be included. For example, the report estimates the monarchy contribute £50 million towards the media industry by providing the inspiration and “mystique” for TV shows like The Crown and plays like King Charles III. It’s up to you to decide whether you think those should or shouldn’t be included. And even once you decide what influences to include, then trying to put a number on the exact contribution the royal family make to those areas is harder still. Any estimate is going to be extremely uncertain. Update 28 June 2018 We have updated this piece with new figures for 2018/19. Update 25 June 2019 We have updated this piece with new figures. Correction 4 July 2019 The previous version of this article said that money for the Sovereign Grant was generated by the Crown Estate’s profits, rather than from a general pot of money paid into mostly by taxes and other income sources like profits from the Crown Estate. Those profits are used in the calculation of the Grant’s size, rather than strictly “generating” it. * By Full Fact Team * Share this: * Twitter * Facebook ## Was this helpful?

Scott Walker toured a mining equipment company in Milwaukee in 2012. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel/Rick Wood) ![\\"Tom](\\" By Tom Kertscher April 13, 2017 By Andrew Mollica April 13, 2017 # As possible re-election run looms, Scott Walker says Wisconsin economy is best it\'s been since 2000 A boast Gov. Scott Walker made in his weekly radio address on March 23, 2017 sounded like one he’ll repeat -- if he runs for re-election in 2018, which is widely expected. After his standard, \"Hi, Scott Walker here\" greeting, the second-term Republican declared: \"Wisconsin’s economy is in the best shape it’s been since 2000.\" It’s a bold, broad claim. Is it right? The measures On the radio, Walker backed his claim with one of his favorite statistics \-- the state’s unemployment rate. It had just dropped to 3.7 percent in February 2017, the lowest since November 2000. Though important, the unemployment rate is but a single measure of the economy. When we asked for any other information to support the claim, his staff primarily cited declines in overall tax burden, income taxes and property taxes, saying \"a competitive tax environment sets the stage for economic growth and simply allows households to keep more of their own money.\" But taxes are more a measure of the health and size of government, not how well the economy is doing. Indeed, when we asked six Wisconsin economics professors for advice on how to evaluate Walker’s claim, none cited any tax- related measure. With guidance from the experts and other sources, we settled on these six measures: * Unemployment rate * Labor participation rate * Average weekly wages * Average income for top earners vs rest of the population * Gross domestic product per capita * Poverty rate We’ll address them two at a time. Unemployment and employment ![](\\" Unemployment rate: Percentage of people in the labor force -- the civilian population ages 16 and older -- who are unemployed. Unemployment in Wisconsin was low in 2000 and it’s low again. The rate generally rose from 2000 to 2003, then dipped from 2003 to 2008, before peaking at around 9 percent in the second half of 2009 and early 2010. Since, then has steadily declined. Walker was correct in saying that the 3.7 percent rate in February 2017 was the lowest monthly rate since November 2000. (It was as low as 3.2 percent in January and February of 2000). Labor participation rate: Percentage of the population that is either working or actively seeking work -- excluding people such as college students and retirees. The labor participation rate is important because it takes into account people who are unemployed plus so-called discouraged workers -- those who are unemployed and not looking for work. The figures show labor participation in Wisconsin is declining. During 2000 and into 2001, the rate generally rose a bit, hitting 73.3 percent in March 2001. #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" Instagram_logo_2016.svg/322c808c00e73c217d17772ddd5a0eb5.jpg\\") ![](\\" Instagram_logo_2016.svg/8b142c91ebe468a84a192e6df2b7b994.jpg\\") Instagram posts stated on August 13, 2024 in an Instagram post Kamala Harris voted in favor of passing a law in 2022 to tax tips. ![\\"true\\"](\\" false/33efdb6633e5e2fdc2d4e2f63383a1e0.jpg.\\") ![\\"false\\"](\\" false.jpg\\") By Sofia Ahmed • August 15, 2024 But since then, it’s been on a downward slope, hitting 68.3 percent in February 2017. That means fewer people are in the workforce. The takeaway: Unemployment backs Walker’s claim; labor participation does not. Wages and income ![](\\" Real average weekly wage: What a person (in the private sector) is paid for working, adjusted for inflation, including not only regular wages but pay such as bonuses. Wages in Wisconsin have generally been on an upward trend. The figures are reported quarterly, but since they tend to vary by season (summer vs winter, for example), we looked at annual numbers. On that basis, the average weekly wage rose from 2000 to 2004, and then rose and fell until 2011. Since then it’s been on the rise, hitting $896 in 2015, the last year for which annual data are available. That’s higher than any year going back to 2000. Income distribution: How much more income is earned by people near the top of the scale versus the rest of the population. Income includes not only wages, but also money from sources such as investments and welfare benefits. In Wisconsin, the gap between people near the top of the income scale and the rest of the population is growing. We compared the average income of a person in the top 10 percent versus a person in the bottom 90 percent -- in other words, people near the top versus the rest of the population, taking inflation into account. In 2013, the latest data available for this comparison, the annual income for the average person in the top 10 percent was $234,916. That’s 6.7 times more than the average income in the bottom 90 percent, which was $35,102. That ratio has generally increased since 2000, when it was 6.0. The takeaway: Average wages back Walker’s claim, since they’re up; but income distribution doesn’t, given that the gap is growing between the relatively few people on the top end of the scale and everyone else. Productivity and poverty ![](\\" Real GDP per capita: Total value of goods and services produced, divided by the population and adjusted for inflation. Gross domestic product per person in Wisconsin, taking into account inflation, rose from 2000 to 2006, dropped from then until 2009, and has been on the rise since. The latest figure, for 2015, showed real GDP at $46,893 per person -- higher than any previous year going back to 2000, when it was $41,911. Poverty rate: Percentage of people below the official poverty threshold. Poverty is calculated based on a person’s income from sources such as wages, Social Security and child support, as well as from \"cash\" government benefits such as public assistance and unemployment insurance. The poverty threshold for 2015, the most recent year available for this comparison, was $12,082 for a single person and $24,257 for a family of four. In Wisconsin, the poverty rate has trended upward. The 2015 rate was 11.4 percent. That’s higher than every year going back 2000 except for two (12.4 percent in 2004 and 13.1 percent in 2011). The takeaway: GDP helps Walker’s claim; poverty does not. Summing up As we’ve noted in previous fact checks, governors have some impact on a state’s economy, but many other factors, including national trends, are at work. In this instance, Walker didn’t explicitly take credit for what he says is a better economy, though he implies it. The economists we consulted see some improvements and some declines in how Wisconsin’s economy is now compared to 2000. \"The economic portrait of Wisconsin since 2000 is mixed at best,\" said Lawrence University’s Merton Finkler. \"Clearly, the Wisconsin economy is not as dynamic as some others, such as Minnesota\'s. Part of the reason is that it has done a relatively poor job of encouraging startup enterprises, which tend to grow employment faster than larger and older firms.\" Said Andrew Reschovsky at the University of Wisconsin-Madison: \"A growing economy is characterized by rising real per capita GDP and rising real wages. This growth is to be expected, and reflects increased labor productivity over time. Although Wisconsin’s economy is larger now than it was in 2000, the fact that the poverty rate is higher and that there is growing income inequality indicates that the benefits of our growing economy have gone mainly to those with the highest incomes.\" Our rating Walker said: \"Wisconsin’s economy is in the best shape it’s been since 2000.\" The latest figures for the unemployment rate, wages and gross domestic product support Walker’s claim. But the figures for labor participation rate, income and poverty do not. For a statement that is partially accurate, our rating is Half True.

We were curious to know more about this statistic, what it means and what contributed to it. Here’s what we learned. ### The Facts The figure comes from a May 2016 report by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. The data are from 2014, when there were 38 million men in the United States between 18 and 34 years old. About 5 million of them didn’t have jobs, and about 1 million were incarcerated. That means roughly one in six men were in jail or out of work, like Trump said. Advertisement Story continues below advertisement “Jobless” means those who are “unemployed” (defined as not employed and looking for work), plus those who are “out of the labor force” (defined as not employed and not looking for work). It does not include people who are in school. ✅ Follow Fact-checking politicians Follow The combined rate of joblessness and incarceration differed for men based on levels of education. Not surprisingly, men with no more than a high school education had much higher rates of joblessness and incarceration than men who had some college education. The rates also differed by race. Young black men were more likely to be jobless or incarcerated, and this trend was consistent from 1980 to 2014. In 2014, young black men were about twice as likely to be jobless or incarcerated as young Hispanic or white men. Story continues below advertisement The two rates are intertwined: The longer you’re locked up in jail or prison, the less likely you are to be employed in the future — whether it’s because of your lack of work experience or your criminal record. Advertisement Joblessness and incarceration among young men increased between 1980 and 2014. The CBO attributed the increase to several factors, and among them were the Great Recession and the slow recovery, declining employment opportunities for young men in the military since the 1990s, and higher minimum wages. Traditionally, the military was an important source of jobs for less-skilled young men. But in the 1990s, those opportunities significantly decreased. Jobs opened up for women, and the military stopped employing people who didn’t graduate from high school. Story continues below advertisement The federal government has increased enforcement of child-support payments from fathers who don’t have custody of their child. So young fathers might be less willing to work, since they’d keep less of their earnings, the CBO said. At the same time, federal spending on means-tested benefits increased, further reducing incentives for employment. Advertisement Increased incarceration isn’t necessarily connected to crime. While Trump repeatedly says crime is on the rise, crime rates (including violent crimes) have been declining consistently since the height of the crack cocaine epidemic in the early 1990s. Yet incarceration rates did not decrease at the same rate over that time. The CBO attributed increased incarceration among young men to changes in policies, mostly at the state and local levels. A series of “get tough” policies were enacted in the 1980s and into the 1990s, contributing to increased incarceration rates. These changes included truth in sentencing laws, mandatory minimums, mandatory drug sentences and life sentence without possibility of parole. Story continues below advertisement The data in this report run through 2014, but joblessness rates for young men have probably improved since then. The economy continued to grow in 2015, and as of July 2016, the number of job openings had exceeded 5 million for 15 consecutive months. Advertisement Moreover, Trump blames President Obama’s policies for this “one in six” statistic, but the CBO makes it clear that the rate is a result of many policies at local, state and federal levels between 1980 and 2014. And while he portrays the policies as “shocking,” many of them are well-intended policies, such as opening up jobs to women in the military and enforcing child-support payments for noncustodial fathers. ### The Pinocchio Test Trump included this “one in six” statistic among several other factoids he used to blame the policies of Obama and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. But many of the factors that contributed to this statistic date to the 1980s and 1990s. Story continues below advertisement Whether this is a “shocking” statistic is an opinion, but the increase is rooted in well-intended policy changes at local, state and federal levels. For example, fewer young men are now likely to find a job because they have to pay for child support even if the child is not in their custody. And fewer low- skilled, less-educated young men have job opportunities in the military because military jobs are now open to women and require at least a high school diploma. Advertisement Moreover, this figure may well be out of date since the economy has consistently improved since 2014, the end point for the data. While Trump correctly cites an official figure published by the CBO, the context in which he uses this claim makes it misleading.

(AP) By Mylana Chico February 22, 2019 By Rebecca Jerome February 22, 2019 # Did opioid overdose deaths in West Virginia fall by 8.5%? Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., offered a note of optimism about her state’s struggle with opioid addiction in a Jan. 22 tweet. Capito tweeted, \"Thanks to successful federal, state, and local efforts, preliminary statistics show opioid overdose deaths are down 8.5% in West Virginia. Awesome news!\" > Thanks to successful federal, state, and local efforts, preliminary > statistics show opioid overdose deaths are down 8.5% in West Virginia. > Awesome news! > > — Shelley Moore Capito (@SenCapito) January 22, 2019 Is this statistic correct? Capito’s office did not respond to several inquiries, but we were able to find data that addresses the question. Her tweet links to a USA Today article about newly released data on opioids published the same day as the tweet. Accompanying that article is a link to a related article that summarizes the state-by-state data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. According to the breakdown, West Virginia’s predicted 12-month number for overdose deaths from all drugs fell from 1,047 in 2017 to 958 in 2018. That’s a decrease of 8.5 percent, as Capito said. However, we should note a couple caveats. First, a different cut of the CDC data actually shows even stronger declines in West Virginia. Preliminary, 12-month statewide data for overdose deaths shows an 18.7 percent decline for reported deaths between July 2017 and July 2018, and a 32 percent decline for predicted deaths over the same period. #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" Instagram_logo_2016.svg/322c808c00e73c217d17772ddd5a0eb5.jpg\\") ![](\\" Instagram_logo_2016.svg/8b142c91ebe468a84a192e6df2b7b994.jpg\\") Instagram posts stated on August 16, 2024 in an Instagram post The World Health Organization ordered governments to prepare for “mega lockdown” because of an mpox strain. ![\\"true\\"](\\" false/33efdb6633e5e2fdc2d4e2f63383a1e0.jpg.\\") ![\\"false\\"](\\" false.jpg\\") By Sofia Ahmed • August 20, 2024 Second, the 8.5 percent decline refers to overdose deaths from all drugs, not \"opioid overdose deaths,\" as Capito said. The report doesn’t break down the data for opioid deaths by state. However, other data shows patterns for different drugs, and those serve to complicate Capito’s optimism. A CDC report detailing annual figures for 2016 and 2017 found that in West Virginia, there was a decrease in prescription opioid overdose deaths by almost 13 percent between those two years. However, during the same time period, the deaths from all opioids, including heroin and methadone, rose more than 14 percent, and the death rates from synthetic opioids other than methadone increased by more than 42 percent. In other words, a reduction in the deaths from prescription opioids masked how fast deaths from all opioids and synthetic opioids rose over that period. \"The opioid overdose epidemic continues to worsen and evolve because of the continuing increase in deaths involving synthetic opioids,\" the CDC reported, according to a Dec. 28, 2018 article in the Register Herald of Beckley, W.Va. Our ruling Capito tweeted, \"Thanks to successful federal, state, and local efforts, preliminary statistics show opioid overdose deaths are down 8.5% in West Virginia.\" This number appears in a USA Today article that summarized CDC data, and other CDC data shows even sharper declines. That’s the good news. However, Capito misidentified the figure as opioid overdose deaths specifically, rather than overdose deaths from all drugs. In addition, a more detailed analysis shows that while prescription opioid overdose deaths are down, overdose deaths from synthetic opioids are up. This suggests a more complicated outlook for the state’s overall overdose problem. We rate the statement Half True.

He said “just put rice at the northeastern table that he votes for you” and that “with R$10 you can buy a Bahian”. The presidential elections in Brazil are approaching. In 2022, the election promises great emotions, especially due to the current situation in the country and the possible names that should enter the dispute. And with the annulment of former president Lula's convictions, which made his release and the recovery of their political rights, the atmosphere is tense between many politicians (since many expect Lula to run). As a result, fake news about the former president has been popping up on the networks. social. According to today's story, Lula would have made two statements controversial. According to the text, the former president said that “just put rice on the table of the northeastern people that he votes for you” and that “with R$10 he buys a Bahian”. Check it out: _"YES !!! The cachaceiro said this. If you don't believe it, check it out on Google. ‘Enough put a grain of rice on the northeasterner's table, he votes for you. ‘With ten I’ll buy a Bahian one for real.”_ ## Lula says “just put rice on the northeasterners’ table and they’ll vote for you” and that “with R$10 you can buy a Bahian”? The information fell like a bomb on social media, especially in groups Bolsonaristas on Facebook and WhatsApp. However, the story is nothing more than bullshit. The explanation is due to the lack of evidence and denials about the subject. When looking at the publication, we immediately became suspicious. The text presents several characteristics of fake news on the internet, such as the vague nature, extremely alarmist, the errors in Portuguese and the lack of reliable sources. Furthermore, there is no shortage of false information about former president Lula in the Internet. The Boatos.org team has already denied many of them, such as the one that said that a video would show Lula being expelled from Itanagrá, in Bahia. Also what he said that Lula would have said that black people are bums and slaves and, finally, that pointed out that Instagram would be censoring posts with the words “Lula genocidal.” We then decided to look for more information about such statements. However, we did not find any interview, video or audio that support the story. Quite the contrary. What we found were different denials on the subject. Regarding the statement that a Bahian could be bought with R$10, we identified that the story had already been denied in 2019. According with Agência Lupa, the video where the supposed statement appears, in reality, has been edited. According to the checking agency, in the original video, it is possible to see that Lula spoke about the inclusion of Brazilians in the job market. According to the fact-checking service Aos Fatos, the edited video was circulated quite a lot in the 2018 presidential elections and once again caused misinformation in 2019, after President Jair Bolsonaro stated that northeastern governors they would be “governors of Paraíba”. Finally, the checking service Estadão Verifica explained that the images edited were taken from an interview lasting more than 45 minutes, given to Rádio Metrópole, from Salvador (BA), on August 18, 2017. In short: the story that says that Lula said that “just add rice at the northeastern table that he votes for you” and that “with R$10 you can buy a Bahian” It's fake! Neither statement is true. When searching on Google, like this as the publication indicates, by saying that northeasterners would be bought by food, we found nothing. Already the talk that it would be possible to buy a Bahian with R$10, in reality, it is an edited video. In the original images, taken from an interview with Lula on Rádio Metrópole, in Salvador (BA), in 2017, it is possible to see that the former president spoke about the inclusion of Brazilians in the job market. In other words, the story is nothing more than bullshit. Ps.: This article is a suggestion from Boatos.org readers.

VAIDS is not a real condition. Context A post shared on Facebook on December 12, 2023, includes a screenshot of a headline saying: “U.K. Telegraph Bombshell: ‘Millions Of Vaccinated People Now Have VAIDS’. Millions of people injected with mRNA Covid jabs have gone on to develop vaccine-acquired immune deficiency Syndrome (VAIDS), according to a bombshell new report.” The caption reads: “Sad part is... I listened to the REAL experts 2 years ago..and knew this was inevitable. The shots permanently destroy your immune system...the more you have, the more susceptible to illness you become. The common cold then has the ability to kill you. AIDS is an immune deficiency.” However, while the headline refers to an article in the newspaper The Telegraph, the original article did not include the wordings “bombshell” or \"VAIDS,\" nor did it say that COVID-19 jabs have caused adverse effects in those injected. In fact The image is a screenshot of the headline of an article published by the website Planet Today on December 12. The article claims that Cambridge scientists have found that ”mRNA vaccines contain unusual and dangerous proteins being made instead of the desired Covid ‘spike,’ which mimics infection and leads to antibody production.” According to Planet Today, this is a destructive immunity response caused by “altered cytokine responses.” The article also claims that the more jabs a person receives, the more depleted the immune system becomes, resulting in VAIDS. In the original article, which is extensively quoted by Planet Today, the Telegraph wrote that 25-30 percent of those injected with mRNA Covid jabs had suffered an unintended immune response created by a glitch in the way the vaccine was read by the body. It also wrote that the error created no adverse effects. COVID-19 vaccines work by introducing tiny pieces of mRNA into the patient’s cells, teaching them to make copies of the COVID-19 spike protein that normally allows the virus to enter a host’s cells. This triggers an immune response without using a live virus and allows the patient’s own immune system to recognize and fight the virus if it enters the body in the future. The mRNA in the vaccine is then broken down by the cell. Previously, research on mRNA vaccines has often stalled because the body can attack the RNA itself as a foreign invader. The problem was solved by swapping one of the RNA bases, uridine, with a similar synthetic alternative. This made creating proteins in the body possible without the immune system attacking the jab. While the scientists did say that subsequent mRNA vaccines may, in theory, lead to viable, rogue proteins being created in the body, they also stressed there is no evidence that this has occurred with the COVID-19 jabs and that research has shown beyond doubt that mRNA vaccination is safe and has saved lives worldwide. They also said that future trials on other mRNA therapeutics would detect such problems in the early stages. VAIDS is analogous to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a chronic condition interfering with the body’s ability to fight infection and disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Scientists interviewed by Reuters and the Associated Press have stated that VAIDS is not a real condition and that COVID-19 vaccines can not cause a syndrome matching this description. “Altered cytokine response” refers to an Australian study from August 2023, which observed changes in cytokine production by immune cells when encountering various pathogens one and six months after vaccination. Cytokines are proteins that function as chemical messengers in the immune system, and the study did not conclude that this is harmful. The website Planet Today contains multiple conspiracy theories. Its “about us” statement includes, “Updating daily on UFO sightings, ghost encounters, conspiracy as well as all things crazy and bizarre. If you’re looking for weird inventions, freaky characters, mysteries of history, UFO, ghosts, and more unusual, mysterious phenomena, you’ll most likely find (it) here.” The verdict The headline is from the website Planet Today, which misquotes a scientific study referred to by The Telegraph. The study did not say that those injected with mRNA vaccines developed adverse effects that were harmful to their autoimmune systems. VAIDS is not a real condition. We have therefore rated this claim as false. The COVID-19 pandemic has given rise to a lot of potentially dangerous misinformation. For reliable advice on COVID-19, including symptoms, prevention, and available treatment, please refer to the World Health Organization or your national healthcare authority. ### Reference Links ![\\"icon\\"](\\" jabs-modena-pfizer-quarter-unintended-response/\\") ##### The Telegraph Refutes ![\\"icon\\"](\\" check-australia-study-vaccine-immunodeficiency-vaids-188567674141\\") ##### AP News Refutes ![\\"icon\\"](\\" check-australia-study-vaccine-immunodeficiency-vaids-188567674141\\") ##### AP News Refutes ![\\"icon\\"](\\" and-vaccinations/covid-19-vaccine/get-the-vaccine/how-covid-19-vaccines- work/\\") ##### HSE.ie Neutral ![\\"icon\\"](\\" and-style/health-family/explained-a-visual-guide-to-how-the-pfizer- covid-19-vaccine-works-1.4436433\\") ##### The Irish Times Neutral ![\\"icon\\"](\\" coronavirus-2019\\") ##### World Health Organization Neutral ### Would you like to submit a claim to fact-check or contact our editorial team?

Rating: True About this rating At the 2023 Grammy Awards show on Feb. 5, 2023, Sam Smith and Kim Petras won an award for Best Pop Duo for their song \"Unholy,\" respectively becoming the first non-binary person and transgender woman to win the award. They later performed the song during the awards ceremony. Many conservative politicians, figures, and publications called the performance \"satanic\" or \"demonic.\" CBS, which broadcast the ceremony, later deleted a tweet that looked forward to the performance, which said, \"We are ready to worship.\" Advertisement: Several videos of the performance had also gone viral, urging viewers to watch until the end when Pfizer was shown to be a sponsor. While not sponsoring any specific performance, the company was one of many sponsors for the entire awards ceremony. We therefore rate claims about the ceremony being sponsored by Pifzer as \"True.\" The Grammy Awards have long relied on sponsors for the entire ceremony. Some companies have sponsored it for years, including Hilton Hotels and People. Unlike Pifzer, both brands were official partners for this year\'s ceremony, meaning they provided a specific service for the awards ceremony. Hilton was the ceremony\'s official hotel partner, while People was the official magazine partner. \"We sponsored the overall Grammy\'s event, but not any specific performance,\" said Steven Danehy, Pfizer\'s director of global media relations, in an email to Snopes. \"So, no, Pfizer did not specifically sponsor that individual performance.\" Pfizer is one of three companies that has provided vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic, and as such has been a target of anti-vax activists. The Grammys have rarely included sponsorships for individual performances. Variety reported Target sponsored a live music video of Gwen Stefani\'s \"Make Me Love You\" during a commercial break at the 2016 award ceremony. Smith\'s and Petras\' performance was part of the actual awards ceremony Advertisement: LGBTQ+ performers being criticized for links to satanism is not new. After Lil Nas X released his music video for \"Montero (Call Me By Your Name),\" as well as limited-edition customized Nike sneakers branded \"Satan Shoes,\" right- wing figures and media companies also expressed outrage. (Nike later settled with the maker of the shoes after the company sued for trademark infringement.) #### Sources 52nd GRAMMY Sponsors Announced. sponsors-announced. Accessed 7 Feb. 2023.

Pat Quinn and Bruce Rauner hit full throttle, no issue was more hotly contested than Rauner’s charge that Quinn had reduced spending on K-12 education as state finances spiraled ever- downward under his leadership. Specifically, the Rauner campaign cited Illinois State Board of Education data that showed school funding going from $7.4 billion in Fiscal Year 2009 to $6.8 billion in FY 2015. Rauner said that amounted to a $600 million reduction. Quinn, however, said his administration actually increased state-level funding during that time by $442 million. Whether school funding increased or decreased from FY 2009 to FY 2015 depended on whether you counted $1.8 billion in federal economic stimulus money in your calculation. Rauner did, Quinn didn’t. The issue never was settled, and seemed to disappear after Rauner defeated Quinn in the 2014 election. Then came Governor’s Day at the Illinois State Fair on Aug. 17. Rauner is not up for election this year, but his legislative agenda is. His campaign fund in recent weeks has given $10 million to the Illinois Republican Party to support GOP candidates who are running against what Rauner describes as a \"corrupt machine\" run by Democrats. Throughout the summer, Rauner has revived some of the themes that were a big part of his own, successful campaign two years ago. As he rallied the Republican faithful at the fairgrounds for the final charge to Election Day, Rauner reached back into his 2014 campaign quiver for another shot at Democrats’ stewardship of school funding in Illinois. \"They are strangling our state. They are driving jobs away. They are raising your taxes to the highest property taxes in America. They are building massive government bureaucracy everywhere, crushing our economy,\" Rauner told an enthusiastic crowd. \"They are cutting our school funding. Four times in the last 10 years before we came into office.\" So here we are again, almost exactly two years from when this debate first erupted, only this time the argument is expanded to include all Illinois Democrats and narrowed to \"four times\" that they cut school funding. We decided to dig back in and find out if it’s true. Stimulus stigma Rauner’s office provided us with figures from the Governor’s Office of Management and Budget from FY 2000 to FY 2015 (the last year in which Illinois had a state budget) to illustrate the trend, and said the years referred to in the speech were FY 2010-FY 2013. During those years, elementary and secondary education funding went from $7.32 billion to $6.55 billion. Clearly there’s a decline in school funding over that period. But was it the result of \"cutting,\" as Rauner claims, or because federal stimulus money ended? The Civic Federation, the respected government fiscal watchdog organization, took on the question through its Institute for Illinois’ Fiscal Sustainability in a report in October 2014: > \"General Funds spending on education in FY2010 is shown in budget documents > as $7.3 billion. But that number includes $790.8 million in federal stimulus > funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Some analysts > might deduct that amount to maximize comparability, which would reduce the > General Funds figure for FY2010 to $6.5 billion. Based on that calculation, > General Funds spending on education increases by $358 million to $6.8 > billion in FY2015. Similarly, budget documents in FY2009 show education > spending at $7.4 billion, but that amount includes $1.0 billion of stimulus > funding. Deducting that amount results in General Funds spending of $6.3 > billion in FY2009 and an increase of $522 million to $6.8 billion in > FY2015.\" The Civic Federation’s analysis is impartial and it offers no opinion on which version -- including stimulus funding or excluding it -- is preferred. Thus it scrupulously avoids making a \"cut or no cut\" judgment. But it affirms the credibility of assessing state-level school funding in the post-recession years without the emergency federal money, which was designed to offset the Great Recession’s economic downturn for school budgets. By that measure, the FY2010-FY2013 span we’re examining would see school funding go from $6.541 billion in 2010 to $6.55 billion in 2013. #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" black/4590875651af69b2c789ceab409664dd.jpg\\") ![](\\" black/72988380e8c8bd188dc360d11552e4a0.jpg\\") X posts stated on August 17, 2024 in In X post on Aug. 17 Photo shows “domestic Antifa are already gathering in Chicago, to create chaos during the Harris-Walz DNC.” ![\\"true\\"](\\" false/33efdb6633e5e2fdc2d4e2f63383a1e0.jpg.\\") ![\\"false\\"](\\" false.jpg\\") By Sabine Martin • August 21, 2024 Not robust growth, but not the precipitous $772 million decline shown when the federal money from 2010 is included. There’s also a piece of evidence that both supports Quinn’s claim in 2014 that he increased school funding and bolsters Rauner’s argument about overall mismanagement of the state budget by Quinn as governor and, today, by the Democrats who control the General Assembly. Midway through FY 2011, Quinn and the Democratic majority passed a controversial, four-year income tax increase that raised the personal income tax from 3 to 5 percent and the corporate tax rate from 4.8 to 7 percent. The increase was intended to pay down the state’s $6.5 billion in unpaid bills and prevent cuts to core services, including education. \"The governor led that fight to raise revenue in 2011 and allowed us to avoid radical cuts to education,\" Quinn campaign spokeswoman Brooke Anderson told the Associated Press in October 2014 as debate raged over whether Quinn had cut or increased education funding. Debate over that tax increase was a major component of the 2014 gubernatorial campaign. To Rauner, it was yet another dagger to the heart of Illinois’ struggling economy, and a symptom of a Democratic party bereft of ideas to get Illinois back on track. To Quinn, it was a necessary if unpopular move to, among other things, preserve school funding. Two former state budget directors we contacted -- Steve Schnorf, who was Gov. George Ryan’s budget director from 1997-2002, and Joan Walters, who worked under Gov. Jim Edgar from 1991 to 1997 -- declined an invitation to weigh in on the main question here. But both said an important clue in making a ruling would come from examining how the stimulus money was used. If used to replace state funding missing due to the bad economy, as it was intended, then its loss should not be interpreted as a cut. If the state used it to fund programs or projects that would prove unsustainable when the money went away, Rauner’s assessment would be accurate. But improper use of the funding never was at issue. Rauner’s statements during the campaign two years ago and again this year dealt strictly with the numbers. Our ruling Rauner said of Democrats, \"They are cutting our school funding. Four times in the last 10 years before we came into office.\" Rauner’s office said the years referred to in the speech were FY 2010-2013. While school funding did decline in fiscal years 2010-2013, it’s inaccurate to say it happened because of \"cutting.\" In fact, as noted by the Civic Federation and in state budgets from the years in question, state-level funding -- which is controlled by the General Assembly and the governor -- increased slightly during those four years. Expand the years to FY 2009-2015 and the increase in state funding came to $522 million. Quinn’s record tax increase of 2011 is perhaps the greatest piece of evidence in support of Quinn’s aversion to cutting and in support of his claim that he boosted school funding. Illinois for two years has been a philosophical battleground in which Republicans, led by Rauner, have argued that Illinois’ abysmal unemployment rate is the product of 12 years of Democratic control of state government. Much of their argument has involved Democratic policies that they believe have made Illinois an unfriendly state for business. But in claiming that Democrats cut school spending in the final years of their hold on the governor’s office, Rauner resurrects an allegation that should have stayed buried after he won the election. We rate this claim Mostly False. #### Read About Our Process The Principles of the Truth-O-Meter ### Our Sources Illinois State Budget, FY 2015, Chapter 6, page 284 Illinois State Budget, FY 2014, Chapter 6, page 263 Illinois State budget, FY 2013, Chapter 5, page 238 Illinois State Budget, FY 2012, Chapter 6, page 2 Illinois State Budget, FY 2010 Illinois State Budget (proposed), FY 2016, Chapter 6, page 257 (Budget documents accessed Aug. 29-31, 2016) Institute for Illinois’ Fiscal Sustainability at the Civic Federation, blog post, \"Use of Education Stimulus Money in Illinois Raises Concerns,\" Sept. 25, 2009 (accessed Aug. 30, 2016) U.S. Government Accountability Office, report to congressional committees, \"Funds Continue to Provide Fiscal Relief to States and Localities, While Accountability and Reporting Challenges Need to Be Fully Addressed\" (Aug. 30, 2016) Reboot Illinois, \"Illinois Education Funding Hits the Spin Cycle in Governor’s Race,\" Aug. 28, 2014 \"Illinois Gubernatorial Candidates Fight over Education Funding,\" Associated Press, Oct. 17, 2014 (Aug. 29-31, 2016) Gov.

Critics recently came down on President Donald Trump when he served Clemson University’s national championship-winning football team an assortment of fast food from McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King and Domino’s Pizza during their White House visit on Jan. 14. Since then, some players have defended the fast food spread as being a rare treat, but one picture-turned-meme of star freshman quarterback Trevor Lawrence took it a bit further. The photo of Lawrence was taken after the team’s win over Alabama on Jan. 7. Soon, it turned into a meme when text was overlaid across it with the words \"Clemson QB speaks out to defend America.\" A quote attributed to Lawrence follows: \"President Trump got all our favorite foods, it was the best meal we ever had. Then we go and see the coastal elite media trashing it for not being organic vegan. We’re football players not bloggers. This was a perfect blue collar party.\" We can’t determine where the meme originated from but it has been shared widely on social media.

Fact Check # Video Of Woman Stealing Man\'s Phone As Metro Door Closes Is Scripted ## BOOM found that the viral video is staged and does not show an actual theft caught on camera. By - Anmol Alphonso | 13 Sept 2022 7:42 PM Follow Us ![\\"Boomlive\\"](\\"/h-upload/2024/01/12/1020475-googlenewsiconsvg.png\\"/) ![\\"Video](\\" robbing-01.webp\\") Listen to this Article A scripted video showing a woman stealing a man\'s mobile phone seconds before the metro door closes and the train leaves the station, is being shared falsely claiming it is a real incident. BOOM found that the incident in the viral video is staged and confirmed with the YouTube channel that uploaded the video. In the viral video, we hear people recording the video commenting saying that woman is just standing near the metro door and not entering the train, and seconds before the train doors close we see her snatch a man\'s mobile phone from his hand and run away. The video is being shared on Twitter with different captions. Anand Kalra, who states in his bio that he is the BJP District Social Media Head, Ghaziabad, tweeted it with the caption when translated reads, \"Beware of such girls while traveling in the metro.\" (In Hindi -\"मैट्रो में सफर करते समय ऐसी लड़कियों से सावधान रहें......!!\") Click here to view The same video was also tweeted by the Twitter account Inferno (@SmokingLiberals) with a sarcastic caption when translated reads, \"I\'m a girl, I can rob\" (In Hindi - \"Ladki hoon, chori kar sakti hoon…\") Click here to view Also Read:Video Of Bride Leaving Groom For Her Lover At A Wedding Is Staged FACT-CHECK BOOM found that the viral video is scripted and is not from a real incident of a robbery at a metro station. Taking a cue from the video, we ran a relevant keyword search with keywords such as \'woman\' \'robbing\'\' \'mobile phone\' \'metro\' and found a longer video - 6.20 minutes which has a brief text disclaimer stating that the video has been created for \'entertainment purpose\'. The original video was uploaded on August 6, 2022, by the YouTube channel - \'Karan Munda Punjabi Viog\' with the title, \'\'Metro Mein Chori | Girl caught stealing at metro station || This can happen to you too.\" (In Hindi - Metro Mein Chori | Girl caught stealing at metro station || This can happen to you too.) The visuals and sequence in this video match with the viral video which is 45 seconds long. In this longer video, the men recording the video run after the woman who stole the phone and recover the phone. A disclaimer appears at the 16 seconds timestamp, which only lasts for one second and has small text reading, \"DISCLAIMER: This content made in this video should be considered for entertainment purposes only, information contained herein is not intended to be source of advice or credit analysis with respect to the information presented any action you take inspiring from this video is stricity at your own risk & we will not be liable for any losses, and damages in connection with the use of information available in this video\" It further reads, \"We respect every individual, profession and organisation any roleplay we perform solely to entertain you and not intended to hurt the sentiments of any person or community. Investing is always subject to market risk: this is viewer\'s responsibility to verify their own facts before investing.\" BOOM then contacted Karan Sahdev who runs the YouTube channel. Sahdev confirmed that the viral video is scripted and claimed that the viral video was sent to him by a \'friend\' who produced the video and sent him after which he uploaded it on his channel. However, he declined to disclose who created the video. Sahdev also confirmed to us that the viral video was shot in Noida, Uttar Pradesh at Sector 52 Noida metro station which name can be seen in the viral video at the 34 seconds timestamp. BOOM has in the past few months debunked staged videos made by content creators, that have been shared as real incidents. The content creators claim the videos are for \'entertainment or educational purposes only\' or to create \'social awareness\', but such videos are often a ploy to go viral and attract millions of views and Likes on Facebook and/or YouTube. ## Tags RobberyMobile phoneScripted Videometro stationwomanFake NewsFact Checkviral Read Full Article Claim : Video shows a woman snatching and robbing a man\'s mobile phone just before the metro door closes Claimed By : Twitter users Fact Check : False Next Story Our website is made possible by displaying online advertisements to our visitors.

Still False analyzes of their effectiveness are circulating. Elon Musk recently hit this notch. Based on more than 100 English-language newspaper clippings, the... decreasing effectiveness of the corona vaccinations can be proven. End of September Elon Musk, head of X (formerly Twitter) and Tesla, also shares his views A video that has been circulating online for a long time with more than 150 million followers with a quick succession of headings and quotes. The clip awakens the impression that the effectiveness of the vaccines against the Covid pathogen Sars CoV-2 has continued to decrease over time. ## Evaluation Misleading in several ways. First: It is not a chronological order Newspaper articles, the data is mixed up. Second: There will be studies listed, which cannot be meaningfully compared with one another because of the lack of data is often completely different. ## Facts The sequence of the slideshow gives the impression that over time the... Corona vaccines lost safety and effectiveness: At the beginning of the video There is talk of 100 percent effectiveness (in the video from 0:04 min.), later from 85 percent (from 0:25 min.), then from 50 (from 0:50 min.) and 39 Percent (from 0:55 min.). At the end the question is asked (from 1:31 min.) how ineffective the vaccines are real. For the supposed drama Edvard Grieg's “In the Hall of the Mountain King” with musical accompaniment. Headings not chronological In fact, the 100+ article titles or citations were predominately published between September 2020 and October 2021. That was an important one Phase in vaccine development: The first vaccines were released in December 2020 for the first time for regular use in humans outside of studies approved. The order of publication is actually completely different than in Musk's video: The articles reporting the lowest effectiveness were created very early in vaccine development - in some cases even in the time before the first vaccinations at all. One of the excerpts is particularly misleading: the headline “Japan stops vaccines after deaths of 4 children” (from 1:18 min.) is from 2011 and does not refer to the coronavirus at all, but to vaccinations against it Pneumonias. The news in the compilation is fundamentally not straightforward comparable - especially not if you only have quotes or headlines juxtaposed. Different vaccines The articles listed cover studies on different vaccines - for example from Biontech/Pfizer, Moderna or AstraZeneca. Examination results of one vaccine cannot be in a meaningful way with those of another be provided. For example, an article in the magazine “Pharmaceutical Technology” with the title “Bharat Biotech\'s Covid-19 vaccine shows interim efficacy of 81%” (from 0:29 min.). This is about effectiveness the Biontech vaccination also against new corona variants. In contrast, the “India Times” deals with this in its article “Johnson & Johnson Vaccine Is 68% Effective on COVID-19 Strains, Seeks FDA Approval” (from 0:39 Min.) the vaccine from Johnson & Johnson, which despite its lower effectiveness was nevertheless approved. Both remedies differ in terms of administration (in contrast to the others are initially given Johnson & Johnson as a single dose). also in production. Different Corona variants Over time, the coronavirus has changed and new variants and Mutations have appeared. A vaccine for one variant has been developed and is highly effective against these, its protection must may not necessarily be as pronounced in another. A CNN report from March 2021 titled “Pfizer/BioNTech says its Covid-19 vaccine is 100% effective and well tolerated in adolescents” (from 0:05 Min.) According to the vaccine manufacturer, the vaccine manufacturer had very good results in one clinical study. In an article in the Daily Mail just five months later with the headline «Pfizer\'s Covid vaccine is only 42% effective against Indian \'Delta\' variant while Moderna\'s jab is 76% effective, Mayo Clinic suggests" (from 0:53 Min) will then have a much lower effectiveness against the Delta variant specified. The difference between the articles: The CNN report covers a study on Biontech's effectiveness against the original type of coronavirus, the "Daily Mail" on the other hand, the effectiveness of the same remedy against the later is considered new Delta variant that has emerged. Different study design The studies mentioned in the different articles differ among other things, in the implementation of the investigation and its objectives. This is what the first heading in the video montage describes (“AstraZeneca COVID-19 Vaccine 100% Effective In Preventing Deaths, Hospitalization: US Study») press release belonging to Vaccine manufacturer the results of a phase III study by AstraZeneca Vaccine - the last stage of a clinical trial before that drug comes onto the market. The message “CDC: Pfizer, Moderna vaccines are 90% effective in real-world conditions” (from 0:21 min.), on the other hand, refers to a real-life study by the US health authority CDC, in which the participants are selected differently than in clinical studies. This can lead to significant differences in the lead to results. More precisely: In AstraZeneca's phase III study, the results were of three studies from Great Britain, Brazil and South Africa with a total of 17 177 participants combined. Participants who are at least 18 years old All three studies were healthy or had stable chronic conditions diseases. They also had an increased risk of coming into contact with Sars-CoV-2 to come. After vaccination, they were tested several times a year for viral load and check vaccination coverage. The CDC real-life study involved 4,000 employees and... Employees in the health system or in system-maintaining jobs tested weekly to determine the effect of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccinations watch - but not that of AstraZeneca. How effective the Covid vaccines really are In fact, vaccinated people are often still contagious, but they carry a significant amount of infection lower viral load and therefore reduce the likelihood of one serious illness of others. The vaccination does not necessarily protect against one Infection of the vaccinated person, but rather a severe course Hospital stays and often before deaths, like the American Johns Hopkins University writes. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there were worldwide at the end of October 2023 more than 771 million confirmed Covid cases and almost seven million deaths. More than 13.5 billion vaccine doses have been administered worldwide. The German Press Agency has already done so several times in the past False claims about the effectiveness of vaccines refuted: for example here, here, here, here, here and here. (As of October 31, 2023) ## Correction In the penultimate paragraph it was corrected that worldwide more than 13.5 billion Vaccine doses were administered, not 13.5 million. ## Links Elon Musk Slideshow (post archived, clip archived) Fox News report (archived) NPR story on vaccine effectiveness (archived) CNN report on the corona vaccination in September 2020 (archived) “Daily Mail” article from August 2021 (archived) “Consumer Affairs” on the Pfizer vaccination in Israel in July 2021 (archived) NBC on pneumonia vaccinations in Japan in March 2011 (archived) Astrazeneca Phase III study February 2021 (archived) Astrazeneca Phase III study March 2021 (archived) “Axios” about CDC study (archived) WHO dashboard on Covid cases and vaccinations (archived on October 30, 2023) EMA to approve the first corona vaccination (archived) FDA approves the first corona vaccination in the USA (archived) Johns Hopkins University on corona vaccinations (archived) “India Times” on Johnson & Johnson (archived) “New York Times” on vaccine differences (archived) “Pharmaceutical Technology” to Biontech (archived) CNN report on Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine (archived) dpa fact checks on the effectiveness of corona vaccinations: here, here, here, here, here and here ### About dpa fact checks This fact check was carried out as part of the Facebook/Meta independent program Fact check created.

Rating: Mostly True About this rating What\'s True Buchanan did, on at least a few occasions on social media, criticize President Donald Trump and his immigration policies. The man driving the other vehicle involved in the crash that killed Buchanan was Miguel Ramirez-Vallente, an undocumented immigrant from El Salvador. Colorado State Patrol has said Ramirez-Vallente caused the collision. What\'s Undetermined Ramirez-Vallente has not yet been convicted of causing the death of Buchanan, so we cannot definitively corroborate the claim that he \"killed\" Buchanan. Advertisement: We received multiple inquiries from readers in October 2019 about the accuracy of various reports claiming that a Colorado man who supported the rights of undocumented immigrants, and railed against U.S. President Donald Trump\'s immigration policies, had himself been killed by an undocumented immigrant. On Aug. 9, the website Pluralist published an article with the headline \"Man Who Slammed Trump for \'Racist\' Immigration Policies Killed by Illegal Immigrant.\" The article reported that: \"A man who criticized President Donald Trump’s immigration policies in the name of progressive Christianity was killed last week by an undocumented immigrant who avoided deportation by hiding in a local \'sanctuary church.\' Sean Buchanan, a father of five from Colorado Springs, was driving his motorcycle on Highway 83 when Miguel Ramirez Valiente [sic] swerved into his lane and killed him. The immigrant was charged with reckless driving with a revoked license.\" Similar versions of the story were subsequently published by several other websites. Initial media reports named the accused immigrant as \"Miguel Ramirez Valiente,\" but according to court records we obtained, his name is \"Miguel Ramirez-Vallente.\" Advertisement: Many of those posts appeared to suggest a certain irony at work in the story, and some online commenters reacted with glee and gratification to the circumstances surrounding Buchanan\'s death. Others saw fit to post political arguments against immigration on a tribute page set up by the company that oversaw Buchanan\'s funeral service. Notwithstanding the commentary that has surrounded Buchanan\'s death, the reports in question did present an accurate account of some key facts but arguably rushed to judgement in describing one person involved in the fatal collision as having \"killed\" the other. Buchanan did, on at least few occasions, express strong criticism of Trump and his policies, in particular the policy of separating undocumented immigrants from their children after they are caught and detained at the southern border of the United States. The man who drove the other vehicle in the collision that killed Buchanan, Miguel Ramirez-Vallente, was indeed an undocumented immigrant from El Salvador. According to Colorado law enforcement, Ramirez-Vallente was responsible for the crash, but as of October 2019, he had not been convicted on any charge, although he was charged with careless driving leading to Buchanan\'s death. As of October 2019, it is premature to state definitively, as so many reports did, that he \"killed\" Buchanan. Advertisement: #### Analysis Buchanan\'s views on Trump, immigration Buchanan\'s Facebook page does not show any publicly visible posts relating to politics or immigration, and his Twitter account has been set to \"protected,\" meaning only approved followers may view what he had posted. However, archived links to some of his tweets show that he did, on at least a few occasions, express strong criticism of Trump and his immigration policies, in particular. In September 2018, the actor and left-leaning activist George Takei tweeted a criticism of the Trump administration\'s policy of detaining immigrant children in cramped conditions at border detention centers, separate from their parents and guardians. He wrote: \"The question for us is not just \'How did this happen?\' It is also \'Have we learned?\' America failed my family and community when it locked us inside camps for years. Have we learned? I ask because detention camps hold over ten thousand kids. Today. America: Have We Learned? Advertisement: Buchanan responded by writing: \"I used to think that #racism and ignorance on this scale would just die off with older generations, but as [George Takei] points out - it continues to be handed down. #notdone #resist #freethekids.\" Based on the context, and the nature of the tweet to which he was responding, it is reasonable to conclude that Buchanan was characterizing the Trump administration\'s border detention policy as being informed by racism and ignorance. ![\\"\\"](\\" In July 2018, Buchanan tweeted out a recommendation of a 2016 New York Magazine article that likened Trump\'s success in that year\'s Republican presidential primary to the rise of Hitler in 1930s Germany. Although Buchanan remarked only \"Interesting read,\" the article was clearly unflattering towards Trump, and Buchanan\'s recommendation of it provides further evidence (albeit not definitive proof) of his negative view of the president. Advertisement: In November 2015, Buchanan encouraged his Twitter followers to speak out against Congressional efforts to limit immigration from Syria, writing: \"URGENT: Congress voting on a bill that will close our borders to Syrian #refugees tomorrow! Tell them NO.\" That tweet did not mention Trump, but it provides further proof that Buchanan clearly held views on immigration that were radically opposed to those promoted by the president. Buchanan\'s death According to an account given to ABC 7 by Buchanan\'s wife, Kathy, the couple and their children were in the process of moving from their house in Colorado Springs to a new home in Castle Rock, and Buchanan was set to start a new job in Denver. On Aug. 2, they arranged to drive to the new house together, but Buchanan decided at the last minute to take his motorcycle, meet his wife at the house, drop off the motorcycle, and then drive back to Colorado Springs together in their car. The crash that killed him took place that morning along Highway 83. ABC 7 reported that: Advertisement: \"[Colorado State Patrol] says Miguel Ramirez Valiente [sic] went off the side of the road on Hwy 83, over-corrected into the opposite lane and hit Sean Buchanan. Valiente [sic] pleaded guilty to DUI in 2018. He was charged with careless driving with a revoked license for the crash that took Buchanan’s life.\" A spokesperson for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) later told ABC 7 that Ramirez-Vallente was an undocumented immigrant from El Salvador who had been taken into ICE custody. ABC 7 reported that: > ICE spokesperson Alethea Smock said Friday that he was in ICE custody and > provided more information about his immigration case. Smock said Ramirez > Valiente [sic] was first discovered in the U.S. in August 2005 after he > entered the country illegally in El Paso, Texas. He claimed he was from > Mexico at the time and he was removed back to the country that day, Smock > said. > > It’s unclear when he re-entered the country, but he was again picked up by > ICE after his April 2011 arrest in Douglas County for reckless endangerment > – a charge that was later dropped. Smock said Ramirez Valiente [sic] was > issued a notice to appear in immigration court and that he was released from > ICE custody after he posted bond. > > He pleaded guilty in March 2018 to the 2017 DUI charge, and in October 2018, > was ordered in absentia to be removed from the U.S. by the Executive Office > for Immigration Review. He requested the same office reopen his immigration > case in February, but that request was denied, Smock said. > > She said that after his most-recent citation following the crash, he has > been taken into ICE custody. “He is currently in ICE custody and has filed > an appeal of the denial of the motion to reopen with the Board of > Immigration Appeals,” Smock said. Advertisement: Although the Colorado State Patrol has indicated Ramirez-Vallente was responsible for the collision that killed Buchanan, and despite his history of dangerous driving, he has not yet been convicted of causing Buchanan\'s death. Prosecutors in Douglas County, Colorado, have charged him with \"driving under restraint\" (for driving with a revoked license) and \"careless driving resulting in death.\" A pre-trial conference was scheduled to take place on Oct. 29, 2019. As such, we cannot yet definitively support the claim, made in many of the articles cited above, that Buchanan was \"killed by\" Ramirez-Vallente. If that set of circumstances changes, we will update this fact check accordingly. #### Sources Hooten, Kyle. \"Man Who Slammed Trump for \'Racist\' Immigration Policies Killed by Illegal Immigration.\" Pluralist.com. 9 August 2019.

Fact Check # Have UPA-Era Oil Bonds Prevented Modi Govt From Reducing Oil Prices? ## So, is the BJP justified in its claims? How much role do the unpaid bills of oil bonds have to play in the current situation? BOOM does a fact check By - Sneha | 15 Sept 2018 11:58 AM Follow Us ![\\"Boomlive\\"](\\"/h-upload/2024/01/12/1020475-googlenewsiconsvg.png\\"/) ![\\"\\"](\\" prices.png\\") Despite soaring fuel prices with petrol inching towards Rs 90/ L in Mumbai, the central government has ruled out any cut in excise duties on petroleum products. And as the prices rise, so has the blame game. While the Congress party-led opposition is putting pressure on the government to bring down taxes, the ruling BJP has blamed the massive bills of oil bonds and subsidies from the UPA era for their inability to cut taxes now. The BJP has pointed this out on various platforms. On September 10, BJP\'s official Twitter handle said that Modi government paid off the unpaid bills of oil bonds worth Rs 1.3 lakh crore. > What the economist PM Manmohan Singh said & did on petroleum prices? He said > that money does not grow on trees & left unpaid bills of oil bonds worth Rs. > 1.3 lakh crore. Modi govt paid off the pending bills with interest because > \'we should not burden our children\'. #NationFirst > pic.twitter.com/Z8zTV1kG1i > > — BJP (@BJP4India) September 10, 2018 In June 2018, Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said, \"Congress party purchased oil bonds of Rs 1.44 lakh crore that we inherited. Not only this, we also paid Rs 70,000 crore on interest part alone. In total, we (govt) discharged our responsibility by repaying over Rs 2 lakh crore.\" Pradhan said this is one of the major reasons why the country is grappling with high petrol prices. On September 9, 2018 he again tweeted, > Our Govt. pays Rs. 10000 Cr interest for this every year & Oil Companies had > to sell these bonds at discounts as there was no takers for these. People > save for their future generations but our friends in the UPA burdened the > future generations for temporary gains & politicking. > > — Dharmendra Pradhan (@dpradhanbjp) September 9, 2018 So, is the BJP justified in its claims? How much role do the unpaid bills of oil bonds have to play in the current situation? BOOM does a fact check. CLAIM: NDA repaid the pending bills of oil bonds worth Rs 1.4 lakh crore. FACT: False. Out of the Rs 1.44 lakh crore bonds issued by UPA between 2005 to 2010, only two bonds to the sum of Rs 3,500 crore matured during NDA\'s term. The next one will mature only in October 2021. BOOM accessed Annexure 6E in the Receipt Budget of 2016-17, \'Special securities issued to oil market companies in lieu of cash subsidy\' shows that only two bonds / securities have matured during NDA\'s term. The outstanding amount of these securities worth Rs 1.3 lakh crore have remained the same since 2014-15 to 2018-19 as more securities were not issued. As seen in the annexure, only 2 of these securities matured in 2015 and the next ones are scheduled between 2021-2026. When we looked at Annexure 6E in the Receipt Budget of 2017-18, we found the same result. Click here. ![\\"\\"](\\" content/uploads/2018/09/Capturea.jpg\\") The interest on these oil bonds paid by NDA during 2014-18 amounts to Rs 40,226 crore, said Piyush Goyal in June 2018. The current NDA government had inherited an outstanding bill of Rs 1.3 lakh crore owing to oil bonds. And the total payment towards repayment of oil bonds and interest between 2014-18 amounts to approximately Rs 44,000 crore (Rs 3,500 crore as principal amount and the rest as interest). BOOM sent an email to the office of Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to confirm if he was referring to the amount paid or that is due. However, we are yet to receive a reply. Can the government pre-pay these oil bonds or set aside money for these future payments? No, say experts as it is not feasible in the Indian budgeting system. This is because, \"Indian government budgets are prepared based on cash and not accrual basis,\" said former oil secretary SC Tripathi to BOOM. Tripathi said, \"The government will budget for the payment in the year when it is due and not in advance.\" Economist Ajit Ranade was also of the same view. Speaking to BOOM he said, \"You never pre-pay bonds. Especially a government which is fiscally strapped would never pre-pay bonds.\" Ranade explained that bonds are issued because you do not have money now, therefore you borrow from investors or public by issuing bonds. Every year governments run a deficit and it is financed through bonds. And, usually bonds have long life which could be for 15 or 20 or 30 years and are obligations to pay in future. Due to its long life, it is also handed over to successive governments and they are obligated to make these payments whenever it is due. Default in payment can have serious consequences and can lead to a market shock. Both Ranade and Tripathi were of the view that bond financing is a normal part of government functioning and a continuous affair. Thus, between 2005-10 to keep fiscal deficit under control, the government introduced oil bonds to reimburse OMCs so that domestic fuel prices did not shoot up with soaring crude oil prices. What are oil bonds and was issuing it necessary? Oil bonds are a kind of special securities / bonds issued by the Government of India to public entities like Oil Market Companies (OMC), Food Corporation of India and Fertilizer Companies as a substitute to cash subsidies, according an RBI report. These bonds are debts that do not reflect in the fiscal deficit in the issuing year as there is no cash flow involved unlike cash subsidies. Unlike Government securities (G-secs), oil bonds are not eligible under SLR security but can be used as collateral for repo transactions. Oil companies who require liquid cash, could sell these in the secondary market to banks, insurance companies and they also receive interest from the government. Issuing of oil bonds was adopted only during 2005-06 to 2009-10. It was a way of deferring payments due to the oil companies as the UPA government was cash strapped, explained Madan Sabnavis, Chief Economist, Care Ratings Limited. The UPA government had issued oil bonds worth Rs 1.4 lakh crore between 2005-06 to 2008-09, to compensate OMCs who incurred under recoveries to the count of Rs 2.9 lakh crore owing to high international crude oil prices and the regulation of oil prices by the government, according to the Expert Committee report under Kirit Parikh. (Note: Under-recoveries are difference between the price at which the crude oil is purchased internationally and the retail selling price of refined petroleum products). Between 2005-09, the crude oil prices were showing an upward trend (See graph below), economies were in the midst of the global economic crisis and most importantly OMCs were facing huge under recoveries. In this situation of fiscal slippage and cash shortage, the UPA government chose oil bonds as the way out to moderate fuel prices. In order to tackle this crisis, the government adopted a burden sharing mechanism of all the stakeholders - the Government, the Public Sector Oil Companies and the consumer as follows. ![\\"\\"](\\" sharing.jpg\\") Burden sharing mechanism - PIB release dated November 2010 However, in Budget 2010-11, the government announced the discontinuation of oil bonds and that OMCs will be reimbursed in cash. And, the same year in June 2010, petrol prices were deregulated. Petrol and diesel prices were decontrolled / market determined with effect from 26.06.2010 (under UPA) and 19.10.2014 (under NDA), respectively. The NDA government has adopted dynamic fuel pricing since June 2017, whereby retail prices change on a daily basis. What is the current state of taxation? Taxation on petro products have seen a dramatic increase in the past 4 years. The NDA government had a windfall gain when the crude oil prices shot down to as low as $28 per barrel in January 2015. Average crude oil prices was $46/bbl, $47 /bbl and $56/bb in 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18 respectively. In May 2014, while taxes comprised of 31% of petrol prices (as per price build up in Delhi), in September 2018 a customer pays 45% as taxes on petrol. This would be higher in the case of Mumbai. (Click here to read more on taxation of fuel and price build up) ![\\"\\"](\\" up-1.jpg\\") Courtesy: Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC) Taxation on fuel prices have seen a constant increase. Central excise on petrol has steeply increased from Rs 9.48/ L in April 2014 to Rs 19.48 / L as of now. In the case of diesel, excise duty has seen a 4 times increase from Rs 3.56 / L in April 2014 to Rs 15.53/L as of now. It cannot be denied that owing to low international crude prices since 2014, the Modi government has received a windfall gain by consistently raising excise duties and not passing on the benefit to the end consumer. The petroleum sector contributed Rs 18 lakh crore to the exchequer between 2014-15 to 2017-18 through taxes and dividends, according to data from PPAC. Of which Rs 11 lakh crore went to the central exchequer and Rs 7.1 lakh crore to the state exchequers. Whereas, the total subsidy on petroleum products and natural gas between 2014-15 to 2017-18, amounts to Rs 1.7 lakh crore - 9% of the total revenue. What can the government do now to give some relief to customers? Several experts have pointed out that it is time petroleum products are brought under the GST. But with a lower uniform GST rate across the country, it will mean huge losses to both the centre and the state which does not make it feasible in the immediate future. Either ways, State governments are also resisting any move to reduce their state taxes on fuel since most of them are battling revenue deficit ever since GST came into force in 2017. Central excise duties have also become a major revenue source and has played a major role in financing social and infrastructure spending. Ranade pointed out that the government has committed to un-budgeted obligations like loan waivers, Ayushman Bharat etc. Moreover, the ambitious target of maintaining fiscal deficit at 3.3 % when the promise was 3.0 %, is a huge task in front of the government. Under these circumstances, the government is in a tight corner. If a relief is to be given this year, one approach would be to postpone this year\'s capital spending to the next year, said Ranade. Dhananjay Sinha of Emkay Global was of the view that steps are to be taken to stabilize the currency and to cut revenue expenditure to maintain fiscal deficit. India\'s import dependence stands at 80% and fuel is an essential commodity. Therefore, the depreciation of the rupee makes crude oil expensive for the country. In this calendar year alone, rupee has depreciated 13% thus making import of crude more expensive. ## Tags BJPCongressdieselexcise dutyfeaturedfuelGSTInflationNarendra ModiNDAOil bondOil companiesOMCPetro Bondspetrolpetrol pricesubsidyTaxUPA Read Full Article Claim : Modi Govt Has Paid Back UPA-era Oil Bonds Of Rs 1.3 Lakh Crore Claimed By : BJP Fact Check : FALSE Next Story Our website is made possible by displaying online advertisements to our visitors.

Crime # Voter ID scheme: far more turned away than convicted of electoral fraud 16 October 2019 ##### What was claimed 819 people were turned away across eight council areas during voter ID trials. ##### Our verdict Across all ten trial areas in 2019, 1,968 people were turned away for not having the correct ID. Of those people, 740 did not return to vote. ##### What was claimed One person was convicted for voter impersonation at the last election. ##### Our verdict Correct. This refers to the year 2017. ##### What was claimed 11 million people don’t have a passport or driving license. ##### Our verdict This is correct for Great Britain according to research from 2015 – there isn’t a more up-to-date figure. ##### What was claimed 3.5 million don’t have access to any photo ID. ##### Our verdict This is correct for Great Britain according to research from 2015 – there isn’t a more up-to-date figure. It refers to types of ID that would be valid as part of the government’s proposed voter ID scheme. __1 of 4 claims > “Convictions for voter impersonation at last election: 1 > > People turned away in just 8 council areas in trials: 819” > > David Schneider, 13 October 2019 > “3.5 million don’t have access to any photo ID. If you restrict that to > passport or driving licence it’s 11 million.” > > Cat Smith MP, 13 October 2019 Over the weekend it was reported that the government plans to introduce a voter ID scheme, with details laid out in Monday’s Queen’s Speech. The plan would require voters to show an approved form of photographic ID in order to vote in a UK parliamentary election in Great Britain and local elections in England. Photographic ID is already required to vote in Northern Ireland. This led to responses highlighting how few people are accused or convicted of impersonating someone else at a polling station—the offence which the voter ID scheme is meant to combat—compared to how many people have been prevented from voting due to pilot voter ID schemes the government has run. These figures are broadly accurate. More than four times as many people were prevented from voting in May 2019 due to the voter ID pilot scheme, than have been accused of impersonating someone else at a polling station since 2010. It has also been noted that millions of people do not have a form of photographic ID which would be valid if voter ID schemes were rolled out nationally. This is accurate—although under the government’s latest plans a free “electoral ID” would be made available. Honesty in public debate matters You can help us take action – and get our regular free email Sign up ## How many people were prevented from voting? The most recent trial of the voter ID scheme took place during the May 2019 local elections, across ten pilot areas in England. In some areas people had to show “a specified form of photo ID” in order to vote, while in others they also had the option of showing “two pieces of specified non-photo ID” (including things like bank statements and utility bills) or a poll card. In total, 1,968 people were turned away for not having the correct ID. Of those people, 740 did not return to vote—38% of those who were turned away. Across the trial areas, the number of people affected represented between 0.03% and 0.7% of the total votes cast. In 2018 trials, 31-34% (between 326 and 350 people across five pilot areas) did not return to the polling booth after being initially turned away. This ranged from 0.06% to 0.4% of the total votes cast across the five areas. Actor and writer David Schneider claimed that 819 people were stopped from voting across eight areas, which is based on outdated information. It was reported shortly after the 2019 pilot scheme in May that across eight of the ten areas “819 people were turned away from polling stations and did not return”, and was based on findings from the Local Government Chronicle. The Local Government Chronicle was reporting on initial estimates, and we’ve asked them why these found a higher number of people were unable to vote than is shown in the official data which was published later. ## More people turned away in one day than accused of polling station fraud in a decade As we’ve written before, the government previously cited a rise in cases of “people pretending to be other people to steal their votes” as a key reason for the voter ID scheme. But as we pointed out last time, that increase was only between two specific years (2014 and 2016), and more recent figures show a decline in the number of cases. The number of cases is also small. In elections between 2010 and 2018, across the whole country, 181 people have been accused of impersonating someone else at a polling station. Most accusations resulted in no further action being taken. That means that the number of people who didn’t return to cast a vote after being turned away during the 2019 trial—740 people—is over four times the number that have been accused of impersonating someone else at a polling station since 2010.![\\"\\"](\\"/media/uploads/voter_id_graph_2019.png\\"/) David Schneider is correct that only one person was convicted of voter personation at a polling station in 2017 (the year of the last general election). We’ve only seen evidence of one other conviction since 2010. ## How many people don’t have ID? Labour MP Cat Smith claimed that “3.5 million don’t have access to any photo ID. If you restrict that to passport or driving licence it’s 11 million.” This correctly quotes research which is from 2015 but the most recent available. The Electoral Commission found that 3.5 million people in Great Britain (7.5% of the electorate) didn’t have a form of photo ID which would have been acceptable for a voter ID scheme. The same report found that 11 million people did not have a passport or driving license. The report also recommended that a “Voter Card” should be made freely available in Great Britain, if the voter ID scheme was adopted. Under the government’s latest plans, voters without an approved form of ID will be able to apply for a free “electoral ID” would be introduced alongside any voter ID scheme, so it’s likely that the number of voters unable to provide acceptable ID at a polling station would go down if a voter ID scheme were rolled out nationally. We’ve previously looked in more detail at the wider impact voter ID schemes have had on turnout in other countries. * By Joël Reland * Share this: * Twitter * Facebook ## Was this helpful?

Two images of the alleged Buffalo gunman with slightly different shades of hair does not prove the photos show two different people. They’re both Payton Gendron. See the sources for this fact-check Authorities have identified 18-year-old Payton Gendron as the suspect in a May 14 massacre at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York, that left 10 people dead and others injured. Unfounded false flag claims often follow mass shootings in the United States, and this one is no different. Among them is a conspiracy theory that suggests images taken of Gendron after the shooting show not one but two crisis actors. \"Went from ginger haired ‘fit’ person to a black haired heavy dude,\" one May 14 post says. \"In less than one hour.\" The post shows two photos. One is of Gendron in a white paper gown and white face mask as he was being arraigned in Buffalo City Court on May 14. The other shows him wearing green camo-print clothes outside the grocery store in police custody earlier that day. His hair in that photo appears more auburn than in the photo of the court hearing. #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" ![](\\" Viral image stated on August 19, 2024 in a Facebook post “Travis Kelce kneels during national anthem fined $10 million and thrown out of the game.” ![\\"true\\"](\\" false/33efdb6633e5e2fdc2d4e2f63383a1e0.jpg.\\") ![\\"false\\"](\\" false.jpg\\") By Ciara O\'Rourke • August 21, 2024 This post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed.

Someone’s hair color can look different in an image depending on a number of factors, such as lighting, whether a photo was taken inside or outside, and other conditions under which it was taken. _RELATED VIDEO_ Other photos taken at the arraignment show Gendron with the same shade of hair as it appeared when he was in custody outside. In none of the images, including the ones that appear in the Facebook post, does it appear black. But in some photos from the hearing, it looks more brown. That appears to be because some images taken at the hearing were shot through a plexiglass partition separating the defendant from the gallery where the public and press sit. There’s no evidence to support the claim that the person photographed in the courtroom is not the same person photographed outside the grocery store. Both are Gendron.

Bernie Sanders claims that “the average American worker today, despite the strong economy, is not getting ahead.” Not so. Hourly wages have been rising faster than inflation for years, and that trend has continued under President Donald Trump. “Real” (inflation-adjusted) hourly wages for production and nonsupervisory employees have gone up nearly 0.8 percent since Donald Trump took office, after rising 2.8 percent during Obama’s eight years in office. To be sure, the rise has gone in fits and starts. Sanders seized a hiccup in the long-term trend during an interview with CNN’s Chris Cuomo on June 7, when he said “real wage increases for the average American worker … last year” amounted to “zero.” > Sanders, June 7: [D]o you know what the increase in wages — real wage > increases for the average American worker was last year? > > Cuomo: About 3 percent. > > Sanders: Zero. Not a — nope. It kept pace with inflation for the average > American worker. It didn’t make a nickel more after you account for > inflation. … > > So, the bottom line is, the average American worker today, despite the > strong economy, is not getting ahead. Asked for backup, Sanders’ press office pointed to a May 10 report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics that shows the real hourly wage for production and nonsupervisory employees on private nonfarm payrolls did not go up at all between April 2017 and April 2018. (See Table A-2.) But that is no longer correct. Figures downloaded from the BLS website, which are based on slightly more recent and extensive data than in the press release, show a 0.1 percent increase in real hourly wages in that 12-month period. Even that figure remains preliminary, and subject to revision for another month or so. The larger fact is that real hourly wages have been generally rising since hitting a low point in 1994-95. As of April, they were 19 percent higher than that low point (though still 1.5 percent below the highest point reached in 1972). ![\\"\\"](\\" Wages3.png\\") Furthermore, paychecks are rising even faster than hourly wage rates, because part-time workers are finding more work and full-time workers are getting more overtime pay. Inflation-adjusted weekly earnings for production and nonsupervisory employees have risen 1.4 percent under Trump, after rising 3.7 percent under Obama. Looking at all private-sector workers (including managers and supervisory workers), real weekly earnings went up 4 percent during Obama’s eight years, and have gone up another 1.1 percent under Trump, according to the most recent figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Those figures are a bit volatile because the Consumer Price Index can fluctuate a bit month to month. During Trump’s time in office, for example, the 12-month change in real hourly earnings has fluctuated between a decrease of 0.4 percent (during the 12 months ending February 2017) and an increase of 0.8 percent (during the 12-month period ending June 2017). That’s mainly due to the yo-yo effect seen in gasoline prices (which make up more than 5 percent of the CPI) and sometimes food prices. And as we all know, gasoline prices have been on a tear in recent months, but can drop almost as quickly as they rise. The Energy Information Administration expects them to drop in September, after the summer driving season is over. Sanders is free to argue that the rise in real wages and earnings is too slow, and that the average worker isn’t getting ahead fast enough. That’s a matter of opinion. And he’d be correct to say that real hourly wages haven’t yet recovered to the peak levels seen in the early 1970s. But he’s wrong to seize on a monthly blip in the statistics to support a misleading claim that they are not getting ahead at all.

The surprising arrival of a suspected Chinese spy balloon over Montana has led to arguments in Washington over whether the device should be seen as a threat to U.S. security. Addressing a press conference, Pentagon spokesman Brigadier General Patrick Ryder said the balloon is \"well above commercial air traffic and does not present a military or physical threat to people on the ground.\" China has said it was really a civilian research \"airship\" that\'s mainly used for gathering weather data. Nonetheless, the incident has led to heightened scrutiny of the U.S.\' relationship with China and whether some people at the top share too close a bond with the eastern superpower. ![\\"](\\" capitol.jpg?w=1200&f=98334e31401974d793efd9ee0b897ad8\\") Rep.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) had \"FUNNELED CASH\" to a \"CHINESE FOREIGN AGENT BEFORE SPY BALLOON APPEARED.\" Beneath the tweet, which has been viewed more than 155,000 times, was a link to his podcast and an image that repeats the same claim as above. The Facts The spy balloon story has fueled criticism of the Democrats over the decision not to shoot down the device as it flew over Montana. It\'s here, it seems, that Ocasio-Cortez has found herself the target of criticism for her election campaign\'s association with a Chinese firm that the Department of Justice has classified as a foreign agent. However, even if the timeline behind Posobiec\'s accusation has technical accuracy, the presentation of the claim (particularly with interest surrounding the spy balloon\'s appearance) could be misinterpreted. It is true that during the 2021-2022 electoral cycle, the Ocasio-Cortez campaign spent $1,456 for advertising with Sing Tao Newspapers Ltd: once in April 2021 and again in November 2021, as Federal Election Commission records show.

In August 2021, Sing Tao Newspapers New York Ltd was registered by the U.S. Department of Justice as a foreign agent, as reported by Axios. It is not clear from reports whether the campaign team was aware of the Chinese newspaper\'s status as a foreign agent or what media buying contract the ad may have been a part of (if any). So, it is true that the New York Congresswoman, in effect, did send money to an organization that has been deemed by the U.S. to be an agent of the Chinese government. However, there is no evidence of how Ocasio-Cortez, Sing Tao, and the balloon are linked, beyond the slightly tenuous connection with the Chinese government. Ocasio-Cortez was not the only politician to have bought ad space either. As Federal Election Commission reports show, other Representatives, such as Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), spent more than $7,000 on print ads with Sing Tao Newspapers New York Ltd in 2022. Although it is a matter of semantics, claiming the money was \"funneled\" also seems to imply an underhandedness that does not appear to be at play here. In Posobiec\'s defense, he explains the story in more detail on his podcast (linked in his tweet) far more than in the tweet. It is also worth mentioning that the less than $1,500 Cortez spent on these ads represents a fraction of a percent of the more than $11 million her campaign spent during the last election cycle. However, while there is a degree of plausible deniability behind what Posobiec\'s claim may mean, there is no evidence of any meaningful relationship here between Ocasio-Cortez, Sing Tao and the Chinese government. Newsweek has contacted Posobiec, Malliotakis, and Ocasio-Cortez for comment. The Ruling ![\\"Needs](\\" context.png?w=380&f=ebfdc5f492c3ecd5603accb47a1ef86b\\") Needs Context. Posobiec isn\'t technically incorrect but there\'s scope for misinterpretation. While Ocasio-Cortez paid for ad space in a Chinese newspaper, whose American subsidiary was listed as a foreign agent by the U.S. government, there is no evidence that either is linked to the appearance of a spy balloon over Montana, as Posobiec\'s tweet may imply. Ocasio-Cortez was also not the only representative to have spent money on Sing Tao, and it was a fraction of her total ad spend in 2021-2022.

A video spreads this statement. Why that's not true. There is always a lot of excitement about the right clothing for the swimming pool. Short Before the start of the summer season, a post on Facebook now claims that from May 20, 2024 there will be a ban on headscarves and burqas in public Swimming pools apply. But that's not true. ## Evaluation This statement is incorrect. In Germany there is no generally valid one Regulation that prohibits the wearing of headscarves or burqas in public spaces, including swimming pools. You only have to when swimming Swimwear must be worn. ## Facts The Basic Law protects religious freedom in Germany. Article 4 guarantees the undisturbed practice of religion. Therefore, face veils are like a niqab (like the women in the sharepic are wearing) and the burqa is not generally prohibited. However, the federal government banned the wearing of a face veil in 2017 prohibited in certain areas of public life. This concerns that Driving vehicles, the service of civil servants, soldiers and Judges, as well as certain situations such as applying for ID documents and ID control. Swimming in a burkini is allowed in many swimming pools The sharepic is misleading. None of the women wear a burqa, actually These are burkinis combined with niqabs. The burkini is a Full body swimsuit designed specifically for swimming and frequent worn by Muslim women. The burkini is neither a burka nor a niqab and is specially designed for bathing. The word settles burka and bikini together. In the water must be in swimming pools for hygiene and safety reasons Appropriate bathing suits must be worn. The German Society for Bathing (DGfdB) has been recommending “usual swimwear without pockets” for swimming since 2016 - Burkinis included. The DGfdB explains to the German Press Agency: “For security reasons, however, it is important that the burkinis are not worn absorbent materials. With the swimwear available today predominantly synthetic fibers (85 percent polyamide / 15 percent elastane) are used.” The DLRG also confirms this. Even if there are isolated reports of women being banned from swimming in burkinis exists (here and here), it is not banned in Germany. Nevertheless: In principle, every swimming pool operator can decide on the house rules themselves regulate which duties, rules and regulations apply to bathing operations. And what happened on May 20, 2024? There is no evidence on the Internet that any... Swimming pool a ban on headscarves or burkas came into force on May 20, 2024 has occurred.

According to an article according to the regional broadcaster Omroep Zeeland, smokers would become infected less often with the coronavirus and nicotine would have a protective effect. That's what they base it on focuses on an English study, but the facts appear to be different. ( REVIEW: The article by Omroep Zeeland, and therefore also the messages on social media, are misleading. Scientific research showed that Smokers actually experience more serious consequences from Covid-19. About the role of nicotine has not yet been proven as a possible means of protection. FACTS: The Omroep Zeeland article first starts with a misleading one title and introduction. 'Good' news for smokers, because they are 'less frequent become infected with the coronavirus." But that cannot be said with certainty say. Although some hypotheses have been published about its link with the Sars-CoV-2 virus and nicotine, every study indicates that there is no conclusion can be formed. The first observation of this fact comes from China. "Moreover, these are always observations that have not been proven," adds virologist Steven Van Gucht. "It is a topic that still needs to be investigated become.\" Moreover, an incorrect reference is made in the article. Broadcasting Zeeland refers to a study published in British Scientific magazine The Lancet. In detail, the study shows just the opposite: the researchers conclude that smokers and ex-smokers are more susceptible to more serious consequences of the coronavirus. Also the theory that "nicotine itself attaches to the same receptors in your nose that the virus also needs cells" is not discussed. In short, the reference to the study is unjustified. ( But where does that theory come from? circulated a few weeks ago many messages on social media about a French study that makes this statement cites. However, the study emphasizes that this is a hypothesis that is still pending needs to be further investigated. Moreover, several researchers have their expressed doubts about such claims. Following the French hypothesis gave the German Federal Association of Pneumologists, Sleep and Respiratory specialists (BdP) even give urgent advice against smoking and use of nicotine patches and other non-medical substitutes advice as prevention against Covid-19. ( Dutch and Belgian virologists also call for people not to smoke or smoke to use nicotine patches as a means of protection against corona. \"We know research shows with certainty that smoking has adverse effects on function of the heart, blood vessels and lungs," says Van Gucht, who is several weeks old already warned about such theories in a fact check by VRT NWS. "As a result, the risk of more serious consequences of the coronavirus is one much higher. The idea that smoking and nicotine in particular could be protective work is therefore purely hypothetical. We certainly advise against smoking or nicotine patches.\" Although the Omroep Zeeland article states that given at the bottom as a nuance, that is in fact the essence of it research. ( Moreover, Van Gucht emphasizes that no statements are yet possible about the possible protective effect of nicotine itself. According to the virologist There may be more factors involved. \"For example, it may be that smokers smoke more often stay outside than inside and are therefore less likely to become infected. Chinese researchers were the first to describe this in an observation, but with that it is not yet an investigation.\" \--- Left: Facebook message Omroep Zeeland: (archive: Article Omroep Zeeland: good-news-for-smokers-Nicotine-seems-to-protect-against-corona (archive: Chinese observation: (archive: Study from The Lancet: TeYviooM8PGvyUtnZLn_scsGJgoqQYHx_i3_kB_A (archive: Press release BdP: BdP website: French research: (archive: Fact check VRT NWS: (archive: Additional research: (archive: \--- Contact the dpa fact check team: [email protected] powered by dpa-newslab | Imprint | Privacy | About:

He is said to have declared: “How can journalists were able to slap us in the back knowing that we paid them $ 600 million! ". This would thus be proof that the press was bribed by the government. ## Assessment Justin Trudeau spoke about paying the press during a speech in 2019. He is, however, a joke referring to an aid plan for Canadian media. By omitting the complete speech and taking out its statements out of context, Facebook posts are misleading. ## Facts Posts circulate in different forms on social networks, but are all based on the same video. This is an extract from a speech given by Justin Trudeau on May 4, 2019, during the Tribune’s annual dinner from the Canadian parliamentary press. The video, which lasts a little less than 30 seconds, resurfaced at the beginning of February 2022, notably on Twitter, where she has more than 240,000 views. We see the Canadian Prime Minister in a black suit in front of a lectern. He then declared, to the exclamations of the public (translated from English): “These Lately, we sometimes hear about liberal bias in the media, about how they constantly spare our government for no good reason. Frankly, I find it insulting. It is clear that they are sparing us for a very good reason; because we pay them 600 million dollars. YOU don\'t get such extraordinary headlines without grease the paw. » In the Facebook post and on Twitter, these statements were found summarized by “How the journalists were able to slap us in the back knowing that we paid them $600 million", which is far from being a exact translation of what Trudeau said. The video ends with an image of Prime Minister all smiles, flanked by two Canadian flags, with the caption “Traditional media? I just bought them.” The video shared on Twitter, however, fails to show an important aspect present in the original (from the 39th minute). When Justin Trudeau utters the phrase "You don\'t get such extraordinary headlines without greasing the paw a little”, examples of titles published in the press parade, like “Justin Trudeau and the zero degree of reflection” or even “Trudeau has lost the moral authority to govern.” The image at the end Twitter video has been added. The Prime Minister's words are therefore ironic. The rest of the speech Justin Trudeau is also full of jokes, particularly on news of the time, and punctuated by the laughter of the people present in the room. His tone is clearly humorous. The edited video of his speech had already been subject to verification. the Canadian public channel CBC in September 2019. This highlighted the usually self-deprecating tone taken by politicians during this event. The channel also clarified that Trudeau's joke referred to the announcement in November 2018 of a media aid plan, in the form of tax advantages worth 595 million Canadian dollars (approximately 410 million euros) over five years. The plan sparked criticism at the time from the from the opposition but also from certain journalists. More recently, other media have also reported Justin Trudeau's comments in their context, notably here and here in French and here and here in English.

By Paula Altamirano O. Yesterday, Sunday, February 7, the young Camilo Miyaki Salinas was arrested along with to his girlfriend on Blotario Blest Street, being taken to the 51st police station of Pedro Aguirre Cerda (PAC), place where Miyaki would have committed suicide according to information provided by Carabineros. The name of the 27-year-old young man and his case began to circulate rapidly around social networks, which exploded in the face of the lack of clarity of the death by Miyaki. > Yes, confirmed by the INDH URGENT | URGENTCONFIRMED | Young man detained by @Carabdechile appears dead at the 51st Pedro Aguirre Cerda police station. (the police version would be a \"suicide\" by hanging).

The Observatory defines itself on its Facebook account as: “Autonomous group of public law. Its purpose is the promotion and protection of rights human rights of the people who live in Chile, in accordance with the Constitution and current international treaties.” The group indicates that Camilo's young girlfriend preferred to go to them because he knows their work and trusts them. Thus, new antecedents are opened to consider in the eventual investigation, which are brought to light in a statement made by the Observatory in joint collaboration with Camilo's partner. ### Chronology of events * In the morning, at 11:30 a.m., both were arrested for not respecting article 318 of the Penal Code, which involves violating hygiene and health rules, and they were taken to the 51st Pedro Aguirre Cerda police station. * At 2:20 p.m., Miyaki's partner was released, but he continued in the cell as he was a repeat offender of article 318. * His girlfriend went to his home, in the commune of Lo Espejo, to look for food for Miyaki. * Upon returning, around 4 p.m., Carabineros commented that there was a dead detainee. Without clarifying anything, they didn't let her see Miyaki. * Hours later, the Investigative Police (PDI) arrived at the scene and conducted the necessary expert reports, concluding that there was no intervention by third parties and that it was a suicide. Likewise, the letter states that according to Camilo's partner, he did not have history of mental health illnesses, since “they had plans and projects, that he was a kind, emotionally stable person and that in no case the “showed suicidal ideas or signs of incipient depression,” says the release.

One of the reasons that are causing old fake news to circulate again is the growth of new forms of content creation. We already talked about an A Week in Fakes that apps like TikTok and Kwai have been very used in jokes like this. Today, we have another example of content “reheated”. A video of a man saying that former president Lula would have 250 million euros in a bank in the Vatican is circulating on the Internet. “Lula has 250 millions of euros hidden in the Vatican Bank”, says the message circulating out there along with the video. ## Does Lula have 250 million euros hidden in a bank in the Vatican? The accusation did not take long to spread with all its might on the Internet. Although, It is not true that such an account was discovered in Lula's Vatican. In In fact, this nonsense has already been denied on Boatos.org on other occasions. As the denial of yesteryear is valid today, remember what was written: _In reality, there is more to remember than to explain. That's because the one document “presented as evidence” by the supposed priest in the video (and by the loose messages on Facebook which, by the way, have the main characteristics of online rumors and even “wrong” the value presented in the video) has already had its proven falsehood. Remember what we wrote about the “evidence” in the “case Mature":_ _Research on this story also indicated something else: the case is a evolution of a rumor started in January 2019, in Colombia. At the time, a report had reported that the former president of Colombia, Juan Manuel Santos, would have secret accounts at the Vatican. As a bonus, the text also indicated that ‘other leftist presidents’ (Maduro, Lula, Kirchner) would also be involved in the scheme._ _That was when the Vatican decided to speak out and deny all the information. One day after the publication of the article, Santa Sede stated that, contrary to From what the report suggests, no Latin American leader has accounts secret in the Vatican banks. As if that wasn't enough, after a few days, a Colombian fact-checking website decided to analyze the case. AND well, they came to the conclusion that the story was… false!_ _According to the Colombia Check page, the Institute for Works of Religion (IOR or also known as Vatican Bank) is not a normal bank. To the transfers are intended for religious work or charity. In addition Furthermore, since 2013, on an annual basis, the institute has published financial reports of its operations._ _The website also draws attention to the fact that the evidence used in the report are inconsistent. In the letter from the president of the IOR, for example, it is possible to see that the signature was cut from another document and pasted onto the letter. In addition Furthermore, the documents are written in Spanish and not Italian (official language of the Vatican)._ _Another inconsistency is the interest rate presented in the supposed IOR letter. THE president of the Chamber of Commerce of Cali warned that a rate of 9% in a European bank is impossible. He further indicated that, in these places, rates annual rates are usually close to 0._ _Finally, if the source of the information in Colombia was considered false, the ‘evolution of rumor’ in Venezuela is also not real, since the story emerged from the report that has already been refuted in Colombian lands._ _Let's recap. The story that is being presented as recent in this interview carried out in Argentina appeared in Colombia and had already been denied there and in Venezuela. After the “bomb interview”, Bolivian websites also denied the information. If everything that had been said was not enough, there are other documents that were presented against Evo Morales and, in reality, are fake._ _In other words: the “documentary evidence” that would have been presented against the President Lula have already been classified as false in several countries South America and the Vatican itself. It is to be assumed that if the document is demonstrably false with Santos, Maduro and Morales continues to be false with Lula, Kirchner, Bachelet, Correa and many others who come._ In short: the story that suggests that Lula's account was discovered is false worth 250 million euros in the Vatican. This is fake news that only it returned to circulation in 2022 because it was shared on social media different. Ps.: This article is a suggestion from Boatos.org readers.

(Nick Wagner/Austin American- Statesman) ![\\"Madlin](\\" By Madlin Mekelburg May 3, 2019 # Paid sick leave policies came to Maryland, D.C. before Austin Dallas became the third Texas city to require employers to provide paid sick leave for all employees, after its City Council approved an ordinance slated to go into effect in August. Whether the ordinance will actually be implemented is a different story. State lawmakers in Austin are considering legislation that would kill local mandates like this one and similar policies in Austin and San Antonio. Regardless, Austin City Council Member Greg Casar, the architect of Austin’s policy, celebrated the Dallas news in a tweet. \"Dallas passes paid sick days!!!\" he wrote. \"About 1 year ago, no cities in the South had guaranteed paid sick days. Now, three of Texas’ biggest cities have passed it.\" Casar is right, Dallas, San Antonio and Austin have all passed sick leave policies. But is it true that no cities in the South had guaranteed paid sick days a year ago? Definitions of the South vary Braden Latham-Jones, a spokesman for Casar, said the information came from lists maintained by organizations that advocate for paid sick leave policies that show policies in different areas and when they were adopted. He said the information supports Casar’s claim that roughly one year ago, no cities in the \"American South\" had adopted policies guaranteeing paid sick leave for employees. Looking through the source material Latham-Jones provided, there is no question that when Austin adopted a sick leave policy in early 2018, it was among just a handful of states and cities with such requirements in place. But it turns out that the truthfulness of Casar’s claim depends on which states are considered part of the South. Regional divisions maintained by the U.S. Census Bureau show that 16 states and the District of Columbia are considered part of the South: Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas. This definition stems from before the Civil War, when the Mason-Dixon Line divided slave states from free states and helped establish a clear boundary between Pennsylvania and Maryland, with Pennsylvania sitting north of the line and Maryland to the south. But today there are different opinions about which states are in the South, particularly when it comes to Maryland, Delaware and Washington, D.C., which are often classified as being part of the Mid-Atlantic (which the Census Bureau says includes just Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York). Public opinion polls released by FiveThirtyEight and Vox showed that few respondents consider Maryland and Washington D.C. to be in the South. #### 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 Kelly Kay, an assistant professor of geography at the University of California, Los Angeles, said the regional divisions outlined by the Census Bureau don’t speak to the culture of an area and are likely based more on population counts. \"They’re the crudest divider,\" she said. \"Regions are not so clear cut and different entities see different distinctions. As a geographer, my expertise is trying to parse the difference between formal boundaries and the way people perceive themselves. Maryland and D.C. are the sort of places that are always disputed.\" Why is it worth squabbling over whether these areas are part of the South? Both areas adopted paid sick leave policies before Austin did in early 2018. Advocacy groups side with Casar In 2008, Washington, D.C., became the second city in the country to adopt such a policy, after San Francisco. Montgomery County in Maryland required employers to give workers paid sick leave before the state adopted a policy of its own in January 2018, overriding the governor’s veto to become the ninth state with a paid sick leave law. But it wasn’t until Austin’s policy was adopted in February 2018, that organizations advocating for paid sick leave policies celebrated what they called the first paid sick leave ordinance to be adopted in South. No other areas included in the Census Bureau description of the South have local governments that have adopted guaranteed paid sick leave policies. \"We did not describe D.C. as a Southern city when the District passed its paid sick days law,\" said Alexandra Nseir, spokeswoman for the National Partnership for Women and Families, in an email. \"We didn\'t compare Maryland and Austin since they are different types of jurisdictions, but we did not describe Maryland as the first state in the South to adopt paid sick days.\" Ellen Bravo, executive director of Family Values at Work, said she agreed with Casar’s characterization and said when Austin adopted its paid sick leave policy it represented a unique political victory. \"Few people saw a state like Texas as a place that would be a pacesetter in a policy like this,\" Bravo said, adding that Maryland is seen as \"more of a blue state\" and lawmakers there have adopted other policies that \"have been more difficult to move in Southern states.\" Our rating Casar said one year ago, \"no cities in the South had guaranteed paid sick days.\" Maryland, a Maryland county and Washington, D.C., adopted policies requiring employers to offer paid sick leave to employees before Austin did. Advocates agreed with Casar, saying they don’t consider Maryland and Washington, D.C., to be situated in the South. The Census Bureau, however, classifies them both as in the South.

The claim is based on a misrepresentation of vaccine safety data. Only 11 deaths have been causally linked to COVID vaccines in Australia. Anti-vaccine mandate campaigner Graham Hood has claimed to his social media followers that official data confirms there have been 800 COVID-19 “vaccine deaths” in Australia. But the claim is false and based a misrepresentation of information from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). While there had been 801 reported deaths among people who had received the vaccines at the time of the post, only 11 of these cases were causally linked to COVID vaccinations. Mr Hood posted the video on March 29, telling his followers: “The TGA are publishing figures now – 800 dead, confirmed vaccine deaths.” (Video mark 7min 57sec) The former Qantas pilot was a self-professed leader of the anti-vaccine mandate Convoy to Canberra protest in February. He has previously shared misinformation regarding COVID-19 treatments and vaccines. The TGA, the federal government’s medical regulator, publishes weekly COVID vaccine safety updates. The most recent at the time of Mr Hood’s recording was from March 24, which stated the agency had received and reviewed 801 reports of deaths among those who had received the vaccine. Of these reports, 11 cases had been causally linked to the vaccines. Nearly 20 million people had received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose in Australia as of that date. A TGA spokeswoman told AAP FactCheck in an email that while it had received more than 800 reports of deaths following the vaccinations, such reports did not mean that the adverse events were caused by the vaccines. She said the regulator encouraged reporting of significant adverse events after vaccinations, “even if there is only a small chance that the vaccine caused the event”. “If the TGA determines that a report of a significant adverse event or death may impact the benefit-risk balance for the vaccine, the report is referred to a Vaccine Safety Investigation Group, which is a panel of independent medical and vaccine experts who undertake a detailed causality assessment using a structured approach recommended by the World Health Organisation,” she said. Of the 11 deaths, all were linked to the AstraZeneca vaccine: eight were related to thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, two to Guillain-Barre syndrome and one a case of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Professor Catherine Bennett, chair in epidemiology at Deakin University, told AAP FactCheck the public could be confident in the figures because of the stringent reporting and investigation processes used in cases of reported deaths. “An expert clinical panel looks at each reported death,” she said, adding that these experts had access to doctors’ reports and medical records, and could request other tests. “They also compare notes with those doing the same investigations all around the world.” Prof Bennett noted that Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data confirmed the nation’s age-standardised death rate was lower in 2021, during the period covering the bulk of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, than in previous years. The ABS said there was an age-standardised death rate of 431 in 2021, below the historical average of 459 during the five years pre-COVID. These figures are adjusted for age to allow for more accurate comparisons between years. “If there were missed deaths that were vaccine-related, signals of this would appear in the deaths reports given the number of vaccines administered,” Prof Bennett said. Another expert, Professor Louisa Jorm, the director of UNSW’s Centre for Big Data Research in Health, previously noted that more than 400 people died in Australia each day, on average. In this context, it was expected that some unrelated deaths occurred after vaccination due to the scale of the rollout. AAP FactCheck has debunked similar false claims relating to vaccine death figures in Australia, see here, here and here. ## The Verdict Official data has not confirmed 800 COVID-19 “vaccine deaths” in Australia. Rather, drug regulator the Therapeutic Goods Administration has investigated more than 800 reports of deaths following vaccination. Only 11 of these cases have been shown to be causally linked to the vaccines. False – The claim is inaccurate. * AAP FactCheck is an accredited member of the International Fact-Checking Network.

Rick Scott (left) named Carlos Lopez-Cantera as his lieutenant governor in 2014 (Tampa Bay Times). ![\\"Amy](\\" By Amy Sherman June 6, 2016 # Carlos Lopez-Cantera says he slashed his office budget In the crowded Republican primary to replace U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera says he has evidence that he takes care of taxpayers’ wallets. \"I\'ve cut the budget of the office by more than half, reduced the staff,\" he said in an interview on the April 30 Money, Power, Politics show on Fox 13 in Tampa. \"I\'m the only lieutenant governor to not take a security detail.\" He has declined his security detail, breaking from his predecessors. Lopez- Cantera has also cut the budget and reduced staff positions. But he is leaving out some context. The only official role of the lieutenant governor is to replace the governor if he leaves offices or dies. What he or she does in the meantime varies with the governor and his or her vision. Lopez-Cantera is not as active or in the public eye as much as some of his predecessors, rarely posting official events on his public calendar and not tasked with any special assignments from Gov. Rick Scott. Scott’s first lieutenant governor, Jennifer Carroll, resigned in March 2013 after she was questioned by law enforcement about her ties to a charity group that was the subject of probes. (She was not charged with wrongdoing.) She chaired a task force about Florida’s Stand Your Ground law after Trayvon Martin’s death and chaired the Space Florida Board. Scott tapped Lopez-Cantera, a former state legislator and Miami-Dade property appraiser, to replace her almost a year later in February 2014. Let’s see how the budget changed. Reducing budget and staff The lieutenant governor’s budget has ranged from about $245,000 to $540,000 in recent years. Lopez-Cantera’s office does not have its own budget like other state agencies. Scott proposes a budget that includes the lieutenant governor. It is then up to the Legislature to pass a budget, which Scott then signs into law. The amount of money below includes the $125,000 annual salary for the lieutenant governor. Year Allotment Expenditure 2009-10 $439,646 $433,006 2010-11 $540,440 $537,664 2011-12 $504,169 $587,389 2012-13 $509,806 $471,091 2013-14 $245,016 $156,435 2014-15 $485,160 #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" ![](\\" Byron Donalds stated on August 6, 2024 in an interview \"Tim Walz signed into law driver\'s licenses for illegal immigrants in Minnesota.\" ![\\"true\\"](\\" true/3d4df195c595a07e3fd69b5e4aab3e3c.jpg.\\") ![\\"true\\"](\\" true.jpg\\") By Maria Briceño • August 9, 2024 $415,522 2015-16 $240,693 $242,875 2016-17 Not announced yet NA So for a few years the lieutenant governor’s budget was about $500,000. The it was chopped in half to $245,016 for the 2013-14 budget year that started July 1, 2013, a few months after Carroll resigned. It’s no surprise that the allocation dropped since the office was vacant. Since Lopez-Cantera took office in February 2014, it is also not surprising the allotment nearly doubled to $485,160 for the 2014-15 budget year. The next year, the budget allotment dropped to slightly less than when Lopez- Cantera started to $240,693 — a 50 percent decrease. Most of the budget is staff salaries. Employee Count (excluding LG) As of January 1, 2010* 3 As of January 1, 2011** 5 As of January 1, 2012** 5 As of January 1, 2013** 5 As of February, 2014*** 4 As of January 1, 2015*** 2 As of January 1, 2016*** 1 * Kottkamp ** Carroll *** Lopez-Cantera Lopez-Cantera cut the staff, but it’s worth noting that the size of the staff was small for starters. It\'s also worth keeping in mind that Lopez-Cantera has access to the full weight of the governor\'s office for his needs, including the press office, legislative aides and budget analysts. Under Carroll, there were five employees in the lieutenant governor’s office each year, which included a chief of staff and assistants. When Lopez-Cantera started in February 2014, there were four staffers. Then the number dropped to two, and now he just has one employee whose title is a special assistant. The governor’s office said no one was laid off. We asked if that meant that Lopez-Cantera cut empty positions or shifted jobs to the governor’s office or elsewhere. The governor’s office didn’t answer that question. Our ruling Lopez-Cantera said, \"I\'ve cut the budget of the office by more than half.\" He omits some context about how his office budget works. Scott recommends a budget, which is then approved by the Legislature. Lopez-Cantera\'s own resources may be limited, but he downplays the access he has to Scott\'s vast governing operation for assistance. Months after Lopez-Cantera started, the budget rose by roughly double to bring it more in line to where it was when a lieutenant governor in the office. But after that increase, the budget allotment dropped the next year to slightly less than when Lopez-Cantera started to $240,693 — a 50 percent decrease. The budget largely pays for Lopez-Cantera’s salary as well as a special assistant. We rate this claim Mostly True. #### Read About Our Process The Principles of the Truth-O-Meter ### Our Sources Tampa Bay Times The Buzz blog, \"New state security report reveals need to protect Lopez-Cantera,\" Aug. 18, 2015 Orlando Sentinel, \"Lieutenant governor rejects call for him to quit amid Senate run,\" Accessed in Nexis, July 17, 2015 Miami Herald, \"U.S. Senate candidate Carlos Lopez-Cantera brags about suspending workers for not voting,\" May 10, 2016 Interview, Lauren Schenone, Gov.

The country has been a top trading partner with the U.S. for years. He repeated his false boast that the economy “never had growth like we’re experiencing” — the nation’s real annual economic growth has been higher 19 times in the last 39 years. And he wrongly told the crowd in Scranton that the area and the state had “the best unemployment numbers it’s ever had.” That’s not currently true. The vast majority of U.S. exports to Canada were tariff-free under the North American Free Trade Agreement, despite Trump’s claim that Canada was “taking advantage of us” by “charging us 300% tariffs.” Such high rates applied to some items above certain quotas, and there are still quotas in the new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Among the many repeated claims: Trump took credit for a Louisiana liquefied natural gas exporting facility that was approved under then-President Barack Obama. He said preexisting conditions were “100%” taken care of and then cited cheaper health insurance options that can vary premiums based on medical conditions. Trump complained of “a phony whistleblower rendition” of his July 2019 phone call with Ukraine’s president, even though his acting director of national intelligence had said the whistleblower complaint was “in alignment with” the White House’s own memo on the call. And there’s more: on the new coronavirus, polling and the Islamic State caliphate. Trump appeared at the town hall meeting, hosted by Fox News, on March 5. Pennsylvania played a vital role in putting Trump in the White House, giving him 20 electoral votes, and it is again a crucial swing state in 2020. A big reason for Trump’s 44,000-vote victory in the state was his strong showing in Northeastern Pennsylvania, a largely blue-collar area long dominated by Democrats. It’s likely he’ll need a similarly successful run if he is to carry the state again. So it was hardly a surprise when the president chose Scranton as the venue for his first visit to the state this year. Scranton also happens to be the hometown of Joe Biden, who has reemerged as a front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination. Biden moved to Delaware when he was 10, but his Scranton heritage is a key component of his political persona. Editor’s note: This is the first in a series of stories that we will write throughout the campaign on political messaging in the key states that will decide the 2020 presidential election. ##### A Whopper on China Trade Trump said: The U.S. economy is “nothing compared to what it’s going to be when the trade deals kick in. … China, as an example, they didn’t do anything with us. They’re now spending $250 billion a year, and that’s only for phase one. Phase two is going to be even more so.” The facts: The president has long twisted the facts on trade, but claiming that China “didn’t do anything with us” before his recent trade agreement is simply bogus. China has been a top trading partner with the U.S. for years. In 2016, before Trump took office, China was the third largest market for U.S. goods and services, behind Canada and Mexico, according to Bureau of Economic Analysis trade data. U.S. exports to China for goods and services totaled $170.4 billion in 2016, but declined to $163.8 billion in 2019 as a result of Trump’s trade war with China, BEA data show. Under the new agreement, China has committed to purchasing an additional $100 billion in U.S. goods and services each year for two years over and above the pre-trade war 2017 level of $186 billion. That could push the U.S. exports to China above Trump’s $250 billion figure, but exports didn’t go from $0 to $250 billion, as Trump claimed. ##### Wrong About Record Low Unemployment in Pennsylvania Trump said: “Well, Martha, this area of Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania itself has the best numbers it’s ever had. It’s got the best economy it’s ever had. It has the best unemployment numbers it’s ever had. And Scranton has the lowest and best unemployment numbers they’ve — and employment numbers too — that they’ve ever had, by far.” The facts: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data show that Pennsylvania and the Scranton–Wilkes-Barre–Hazleton metro area have had better unemployment numbers before. As of December, Pennsylvania’s unemployment rate was 4.6%, according to seasonally adjusted BLS figures. But the state’s unemployment rate was as low as 4.0% in four of the first five months of 2000. As for the Scranton–Wilkes-Barre–Hazleton metro area, its unemployment rate did hit a low of 4.6% in June 2019, but it was at 5.5% as of December. The region’s rate also was previously lower — between 4.7% and 5.0% — several times during the 2000s. ##### Mostly Tariff-Free Trade with Canada Under NAFTA Trump said: “Joe Biden made a deal, NAFTA. He approved it. He was pushing it. It’s the worst trade deal ever made. We’re terminating NAFTA. We have the USMCA. China — if we look at what happened, between China and Mexico and Canada, what they were doing to this country, how they were taking advantage of us, they were — Canada was charging us 300% tariffs.” **The facts:** The vast majority of U.S. exports to Canada were tariff-free under the North American Free Trade Agreement, as we’ve written before. “Canada eliminated tariffs on all industrial and most agricultural products imported from the United States under the terms of NAFTA,” with dairy and poultry being the exceptions, according to Trade.gov, the website of the International Trade Commission. Trump may be referring to high tariffs that Canada placed on U.S. dairy imports above certain amounts under NAFTA. Canada limits U.S. dairy products that can be imported without tariffs and imposes stiff tariffs above those quotas. Under that system, “U.S. imports above quota levels are subject to high tariffs (e.g., 245 percent for cheese, 298 percent for butter),” Trade.gov explains. Under the new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, which Trump signed into law in January, Canada will still impose high tariffs on some U.S. dairy imports above certain limits. But, as a condition for the deal, Canada agreed to open its markets to American farmers by raising the quotas on a number of dairy products that can be exported to Canada, such as cheese, butter and various kinds of milk. As the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service wrote in January, “USMCA increases U.S. dairy access up to 3.59% of Canada’s dairy market, but it would not dismantle Canada’s supply-management system,” which restricts imports of dairy products and imposes high over-quota tariffs of up to 315.5%. ##### Misleading Boasts About Polls Trump said: “Well, actually, we were … I think really given tremendous marks — [if] you look at Gallup poll, you look at other polls — for the way we’ve handled [the new coronavirus].” The facts: This is very misleading. The president did get high marks in a Gallup Poll early in the outbreak, but as the disease has spread and the number of deaths has mounted, polls show rising dissatisfaction with the administration’s performance. The Gallup Poll, taken Feb. 3-16 and released Feb. 20, found that 77% of Americans were very or somewhat confident that the government would be able to handle an outbreak of new coronavirus. The poll found Americans more confident than they were in previous administrations’ ability to deal with Zika, Ebola, swine flu and bird flu, according to an average of polls. But this was early in the outbreak, before anyone had died from the new disease, known as COVID-19, in the U.S. As the number of cases and deaths grew and the administration’s response came under fire, confidence waned. A Morning Consult survey, taken Feb. 28-March 1 and released March 2, found that 49% of voters approved of the White House’s handling of the situation, down from 56% Feb. 24-26 and 61% Feb. 7-9. A Public Policy Polling survey, taken March 2-3 and released March 3, had more bad news for Trump. It found that, by a margin of 51-42%, voters disapproved of the president’s handling of the outbreak. It also found that they rejected, by a margin of 53% to 37%, Trump’s contention that he had done a “great job” handling the crisis. And it found that the president’s performance made 39% more likely to vote against his reelection, while 19% said they were more likely to vote for Trump. According to a Johns Hopkins University case tracker and a New York Times database, as of March 6, more than 250 people in the U.S. have been infected with COVID-19 and at least 14 have died. ##### Louisiana LNG Plant Falsehood Trump said: “I was able to get the country going because so many jobs were stopped by not only EPA, so many other agencies where you’d have to go get 11 different permits for essentially the same thing. I opened up LNG plants in Louisiana where they were for years, for 10, 12, 14 years and longer trying to get permits. They couldn’t get permits. I got them built. A $10 billion plant in Louisiana.” The facts: Trump isn’t telling the truth about the LNG plant in Louisiana, which was approved by the Obama administration in 2014. He has repeatedly made this false claim, first saying at the May 2019 opening of the plant in question — Sempra Energy’s Cameron LNG project, a liquefied natural gas exporting facility — that a change in federal policy was responsible for its launch and claiming a few days later that “we got approvals very quickly for the big LNG.” We confirmed with Sempra Energy that it received the final approval well before Trump took office. Kelli Mleczko, corporate communications advisor for the company, told us: “You are correct, Cameron LNG was approved in 2014.” Such facilities take anywhere from four to six years to build, experts told us. Sempra’s Cameron LNG was the fourth LNG project in the Lower 48 states to begin operating since 2016, and all were approved under Obama. Sempra received the three approvals it needed in under three years: two approvals from the Department of Energy for exporting to certain nations in January 2012 and September 2014, and a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approval on environmental and construction factors in June 2014. ##### Misleading on Health Care Trump said: “Preexisting conditions: 100%, we take care of. But we have many health care plans now where it’s 60%, even 65% less expensive than Obamacare. It’s better than Obamacare.” The facts: This is misleading. The Trump administration has issued rules to expand cheaper, but less comprehensive, insurance plans, such as association health plans or short-term insurance. It’s a matter of opinion whether those plans are “better than Obamacare,” but, as we’ve explained before, they would be cheaper because they wouldn’t be required to cover certain benefits and because insurers could vary premium pricing more widely than the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, allows. In fact, despite the president’s comment, some of these options do not “100% … take care of” preexisting conditions. Short-term plans, which under the administration’s rule can provide coverage for up to 12 months or up to 36 months with renewals, aren’t subject to the ACA’s prohibitions against denying or pricing coverage based on health status. So those with preexisting medical conditions could be denied a policy, charged higher prices than other policyholders or have certain benefits excluded. (Several states have their own regulations and limits on short-term plans.) How much cheaper these plans could be than ACA marketplace plans depends on the person buying them. A January 2019 Congressional Budget Office report said premiums would vary based on a person’s health status. The CBO and the Joint Committee on Taxation estimated that for one type of short-term plan, premiums could be “as much as 60 percent lower” than the cheapest bronze plan on the ACA marketplaces “for people with low expected health care costs who are ineligible for premium tax credits.” A lesser type of short-term plan — one with limited benefits and fixed coverage amounts for hospital care — could have “premiums that are as much as 90 percent below” the cheapest bronze plans for healthy people ineligible for tax credits. But others, including older people, would probably pay more. “Estimating the actuarial value of such products is challenging because the scope of coverage is so varied and because coverage generally completely excludes services for any preexisting condition,” the report said of such plans. In the town hall, Trump said he’d like to “totally kill” the ACA and “come up — before we do that — with something that’s great.” We don’t know what the administration or Republicans may propose in the future, but in 2017, Trump backed Republican health plans that would lessen the current protections for those with preexisting conditions. ##### Misplaced Blame on Obama Trump, referring to the novel coronavirus, said: Obama administration officials “made some decisions which were not good decisions. We inherited decisions that they made, and that’s fine. … We undid some of the regulations that were made that made it very difficult.” The facts: Trump was blaming an Obama-era “regulation” for the delayed availability of testing for the novel coronavirus. We don’t know what regulation Trump is talking about, and we got no response when we asked the White House, CDC and Food and Drug Administration for more information. But, as we have written, experts say Trump is wrong. “It’s not true,” Rachel Sachs, a Washington University in St. Louis law professor, told us. The Obama administration did attempt to impose a risk-based system of regulation on laboratory developed tests, or LDTs, and introduced draft guidance in 2014. But that guidance was never finalized, and was withdrawn after Trump won the election in 2016. “It never went into effect,” she said, “so it’s not an issue to walk back.” Erika Lietzan of the University of Missouri School of Law told us it was possible Trump was thinking of a de facto FDA policy that applies to LDTs in emergency situations, such as an outbreak. But it’s not clear if that policy stems from the Obama administration, and in any case, the agency was not prevented from allowing labs to create their own coronavirus tests. (For more on this see “Trump’s Misplaced Blame on Obama for Coronavirus Tests.”) ##### Whistleblower Complaint Wasn’t Phony Trump said: “Now the real back story is when the phony whistleblower – who’s a total phony — he heard the call supposedly, you know, through somebody — through the informant. You notice the way everybody disappeared once — thank goodness I had a transcriber — we had more than one. Thank goodness we had that call transcribed, because the transcripts of the call reveal that it was a perfect call. By that time they were already talking about impeachment, and they were going by a phony whistleblower rendition of a call that didn’t exist.” **The facts:** The whistleblower complaint about Trump’s July 25, 2019, call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky included three main points that were indeed in the White House’s own memo of the call: that Trump asked Zelensky to “initiate or continue an investigation” into 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. On Sept. 26, the day after the White House memo was released, then-Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire testified that the whistleblower’s complaint “is in alignment with what was released yesterday by the president.” ##### Economy Not ‘Best’ Ever Trump: “You know, the economy is the best economy we’ve ever had. .._. We’ve never had growth like we’re experiencing_.” The facts: It’s not true that the U.S. is experiencing economic growth like never before. Trump made a similar claim in his State of the Union address, and we called it false. It still is. Trump had promised annual growth rates of 4% to 6% repeatedly, both as a candidate and as president. But the nation’s real (inflation-adjusted) gross domestic product has yet to reach even 3% a year under Trump. The real GDP grew 2.3% last year — down from 2.9% in 2018, according to the most recent data released on Feb. 27. The “deceleration in real GDP in 2019” was due primarily to declines in personal consumption expenditures and nonresidential fixed investment, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Over the last 39 years — dating to Ronald Reagan’s presidency — the nation’s real economic growth has reached or exceeded Trump’s peak year of 2.9% a total of 19 times. Under Reagan, real GDP grew by more than 3% in six of his eight years, including a whopping 7.2% in 1984. Under President George W. Bush, real GDP grew 3.8% in 2004 and 3.5% in 2005. The best year under Obama was in 2015, when it reached 2.9%, equaling the best year under Trump in 2018. ##### Exaggerating about ISIS Trump: “[W]hen I came in, ISIS was all over Syria, all over Iraq, and we don’t want them coming to us. And it was a mess. … And I knocked out 100% of the — of the territorial caliphate. 100%. We knocked the whole thing out. … When I came — again, President Obama — it was all over the place.” The facts: It is true that coalition forces have retaken all of the territory once held by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, and much of that land has been reclaimed on Trump’s watch. But, as we have reported, Trump has repeatedly gone too far by claiming that 100% of the caliphate has been recaptured during his administration. In fact, the overarching campaign against ISIS was launched by Obama in 2014. A Trump administration official has made clear that not all of the land was retaken under Trump. In a briefing on Dec. 21, 2017, Brett McGurk, then-special presidential envoy for the global coalition to counter ISIS, said that about 98% of the land comprising the ISIS caliphate had been recovered by coalition forces. “And significantly, 50% of all the territory that ISIS has lost, they have lost in the last 11 months, since January,” Trump’s first year in office, McGurk said. “So 50% of all the territorial losses against ISIS have come in the last 11 months over the course of 2017.” ISIS lost its last foothold in Syria in March 2019. * Categories * FactCheck Posts * Featured Posts * Tags * 2020 Election * Swing State Watch * Location * International * National * Pennsylvania * Issue * Canada * China * coronavirus * economy * GDP * health care * insurance * Islamic State * preexisting conditions * trade * Ukraine * Unemployment rate * USMCA * whistleblower * People * Donald Trump Previous StoryThe Facts on Trump’s Travel Restrictions Next StoryViral Biden Video Is Deceptively Edited Ask SciCheck Q: Are wind farms harmful to the environment?

Rating: True About this rating Voting in the 2020 U.S. Election may be over, but the misinformation keeps on ticking. Never stop fact-checking. Follow our post-election coverage here. As U.S. President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden participated in dueling, nationally televised town halls on Oct. 15, 2020, in advance of the November election, Trump’s tendency to amplify and exploit conspiracy theories came out in full force. Advertisement: A few weeks after Trump failed to condemn the Proud Boys, a white supremacist group, during the first presidential debate in September, he doubled down on his refusal to denounce the QAnon movement and its wide-ranging array of conspiracy theories in a heated exchange with NBC News’ host Savannah Guthrie. QAnon is a fringe but popular far-right movement that can be traced back to 2017, with believers spread across the internet claiming that Trump is waging a secret war against elite, cannibalistic, Satan-worshipping pedophiles in business, government, and media. The believers argue that this battle will lead to a day of reckoning when prominent figures like Hillary Clinton and others will be executed. Their ideology unites conspiracies surrounding the \"deep state,\" UFOs, \"false flag\" events, and fake death plots. Guthrie asked Trump if he would state that QAnon’s prevailing conspiracy theory about Democrat pedophile cabals was not true, and if he would “disavow” QAnon in its entirety. The following exchange occurred: > Trump: I know nothing about QAnon [...] > > Guthrie: I just told you. > > Trump: [...] **you told me but what you tell me doesn’t necessarily make it > fact, I hate to say that. I know nothing about it. I do know that they are > very much against pedophilia, they fight it very hard** [...] > > Advertisement: > > Guthrie: They believe it is a Satanic cult run by the deep state. > > Trump: [...] study the subject. I\'ll tell you what I do know about. I know > about Antifa, and I know about the radical left, and I know how violent they > are and how vicious they are. And I know how they are burning down cities > run by Democrats, not run by Republicans. > > Guthrie: Republican Senator Ben Sasse said, quote, \"QAnon is nuts and real > leaders call conspiracy theories, conspiracy theories.\" > > Trump: He may be right. > > Guthrie: Why not just say, it\'s crazy and not true? > > Trump: Can I be honest? He may be right. I just don\'t know about QAnon. > > Guthrie: You do know. > > Trump: I don\'t know. No, I don\'t know. I don\'t know. You tell me all > about it. > > [...] > > Advertisement: > > Trump: [...] let me just tell you. **What I do hear about it, is they are > very strongly against pedophilia. And I agree with that. I mean, I do agree > with that --** > > Guthrie: Okay. > > Trump: ... and I agree with it very strongly. > > Guthrie: But there\'s not a Satanic pedophile cult being run by- > > Trump: I have no idea. I know nothing about them. > > Guthrie: You don\'t know that? OK. > > Trump: No, I don\'t know that. The exchange indicated that Trump wanted to avoid condemning the conspiracy theories outright. Later on during the town hall, Guthrie asked him about retweeting other conspiracy theories about Joe Biden, to which Trump responded: “that was a retweet. I\'ll put it out there. People can decide for themselves. I don\'t take a position.” Advertisement: Video of the full exchange starting at 13:41, can be found here: Advertisement: This is not the first time Trump has addressed QAnon. In August, he said from the White House: “I don\'t know much about the movement other than I understand they like me very much, which I appreciate.” He suggested QAnon followers approved of how he handled unrest in Portland, Oregon, after anti-police brutality protests, and said he “heard these are people that love our country.” Given the video evidence, and the widespread coverage, we rate this claim as “True.” #### Sources Evon, Dan. \"Qurious About QAnon?

Col. Alexander Vindman, a Ukraine expert working in the White House, was not fired by President Donald Trump — as posts circulating online continue to perpetuate. The confusion was born out of a recent television interview with Trump’s national security adviser. ##### Full Story A Nov. 10 television interview with President Donald Trump’s national security adviser prompted confusion about whether Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman — a key witness in the impeachment inquiry into Trump — had been removed from his role at the White House. But the White House and Vindman’s attorney soon after corrected the record and made clear that Vindman is still in his position on the National Security Council. Content circulating on social media, however, has continued to perpetuate the erroneous claim that Trump “fired” Vindman over Veterans Day weekend in retaliation for his testimony. A meme, which lifted the text from a tweet, claims “Trump has fired Lt Col Vindman … an abuse of power and another impeachable offense. Trump retaliated against an American patriot, on Veteran’s Day weekend. Disgusting and pathetic.” Vindman, a Ukraine expert detailed to the White House’s National Security Council, testified behind closed doors before the House committees conducting the impeachment inquiry into Trump on Oct. 29. Vindman was among those assigned to listen in on Trump’s July 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. During the call, which is at the heart of the impeachment inquiry, Trump suggested Ukraine conduct certain investigations, including one into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, who served on the board of a Ukrainian gas company. In his prepared opening statement, Vindman told the House committees that he “did not think it was proper to demand that a foreign government investigate a U.S. citizen, and I was worried about the implications for the U.S. government’s support of Ukraine.” “I realized that if Ukraine pursued an investigation into the Bidens and Burisma, it would likely be interpreted as a partisan play which would undoubtedly result in Ukraine losing the bipartisan support it has thus far maintained,” the statement continued. “This would all undermine U.S. national security.” In a Nov. 10 interview on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” anchor Margaret Brennan asked National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien if Vindman would continue in his position after his testimony. > Brennan, Nov. 10: Lt. Col. Vindman, who has testified under oath, is serving > on the National Security Council currently. Will he continue to work for you > despite testifying against the president? > > O’Brien: Well — well look, one of the things that I’ve talked about is that > we’re streamlining the National Security Council. It got bloated to like 236 > people from — up from 100 in the Bush administration under President Obama. > We’re streamlining the National Security Council. There are people that are > detailed from different departments and agencies. My understanding is he’s, > is that Col. Vindman is detailed from the Department of Defense. So everyone > who’s detailed at the NSC, people are going to start going back to their own > departments and we’ll bring in new folks. But we’re going to get that number > down to around 100 people. That’s what it was under Condoleezza Rice. She > came and met with me. I met with a number of my successors. > > Brennan: Right. > > O’Brien: We don’t need to recreate the Department of Defense, the Department > of State, the Department of Homeland Security over at the White House. We’ve > got great diplomats and soldiers and folks that can — that do that work for > us in the departments. Brennan then attempted to solicit a more clear response. > Brennan: Just to button that up, though. You’re saying Lt. Col. Vindman is > scheduled to rotate out. You are not suggesting in any way that there will > be retaliation against him? > > O’Brien: I never retaliated against anyone. So the … > > Brennan: But his time is coming to an end? > > O’Brien: There will be a point for everybody who’s detailed there … > > Brennan: Okay. > > O’Brien: … that their time, that their detail will come to an end. They’ll > go back to their agency. And what we want them to do is take the experience > and skills they learned at the White House, take it back to their > departments and agencies and do an even better job there. And so we’re > grateful that we can have these detailees come in, and they’ll come spend > the year — a year or, you know, maybe a little bit more at the White House > and then they’ll go back to their agency. And they’ll do a better job at > their agency. This exchange caused some to believe that Vindman was indeed being removed from the National Security Council. The “Face the Nation” Twitter account posted a tweet about the interview that began, “VINDMAN OUT AT NSC.” But Vindman’s attorney, Michael Volkov, later provided a statement to CBS, after the O’Brien interview, that reads: “LTC Vindman is still detailed to the National Security Council. His detail ends July 2020. We are not aware of any change in his status. Obviously any retaliatory action against LTC Vindman on a day when we honor our military heroes would be reprehensible.” Volkov, in an email to FactCheck.org on Nov. 14, said that his statement to CBS still stood, and that Vindman will enter the U.S. Army War College after his detail at the NSC ends in mid-2020. “He continues to work at the NSC each day,” Volkov told us. “We are monitoring the situation closely.” Some of the memes circulating about the supposed firing credit text to Scott Dworkin — a Democrat who opposes Trump and has a large Twitter following. Dworkin did tweet the text included in the meme, which claims that “Trump has fired Lt Col Vindman” and calls it “disgusting,” but he also posted follow-up tweets with the correct information. Dworkin wrote in a subsequent tweet: “Now it’s being reported Vindman isn’t being removed and is set to serve out his term.” He later shared a Twitter thread from the editor of Talking Points Memo, a left-leaning website, that addressed some of the confusion. White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham also told the Washington Examiner after the O’Brien interview that Vindman “is still there.” Vindman is expected to testify again in the impeachment inquiry, this time at a public hearing on Nov. 19. _Editor’s note: FactCheck.org is one of several organizations_ _working with Facebook_ _to debunk misinformation shared on social media.

No, that is a conspiracy theory not supported by scientific studies. According to vaccine experts and literature, the use of PEG -- polyethylene glycol --- in Pfizer\'s potential vaccine is routine. The claims can be found in an article (archived here) published by Distributed News on November 18, 2020, titled \"The shocking reason why Pfizer\'s coronavirus vaccine requires storage at -70C ... because it contains experimental nanotech components that have NEVER been used in vaccines before.\" The story opened: > You\'re seeing the reports all over the news: Pfizer\'s new coronavirus > vaccine requires storage at -70C (-94F), which is much colder than the North > Pole. If it\'s not stored at this temperature, its ingredients begin to > break down and it fails to work. Currently Pfizer is claiming, without > evidence, that its vaccine is \"90% effective.\" But this claim is little > more than corporate propaganda designed to drive up stock prices through > false projections. But why do these vaccines need to be kept at -70C in the > first place? The answer, it turns out, is because they contain potentially > hazardous ingredients that have never been used in vaccines before.\" Users on social media only saw this title, description and thumbnail: Claims making the rounds that it is potentially lethal are \"lies\" and \"conspiracies,\" said Dr. John Swartzberg, a vaccine specialist from the University of California at Berkeley. The claims have run on dozens of sites, many of them anti-vaccination sites, as well as social media. Here is a tweet containing the claim: > The Shocking Reason Why Pfizer\'s Coronavirus Vaccine Requires Storage at > -70C ... Because it contains experimental nanotech components that have > NEVER been used in vaccines before -- Christian Research Service > > > \-- Truth2Freedom (@Truth2Freedom) November 19, 2020 Peer-reviewed professional scientists have not supported those claims, says Swartzberg, of Berkeley\'s School of Public Health\'s Division of Infectious Diseases and Vaccinology. Sent the article by Lead Stories and asked about the claims, he said, \"It\'s an article full of lies and scare tactics.\" The article appears to be referring to ethylene glycol, which is dangerous. According to healthychildren.org, on the question of whether vaccines contain antifreeze: > No. Antifreeze is typically made of ethylene glycol, which is unsafe. > Confusion has arisen, because polyethylene glycol (a chemical used in > antifreeze and personal care products like skin creams and toothpaste) is > used in vaccines and is safe. It is used to inactivate the influenza virus > in some influenza vaccines. It is also used to purify other vaccines.\" There are four main claims in the Distributed News article, some of which is drawn from anti-vaccination champion Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.\'s Children\'s Health Defense: \- Nanotech components are used to develop the vaccine candidate, and that they\'ve never been used in vaccines before; \- Lipid nanoparticles cause hyperinflammatory responses in the body, leading to severe reactions, hospitalization and potentially death; \- The UK government is prepared for a vaccine death wave; \- Coronavirus vaccine-caused deaths will be categorized as COVID-19 deaths to keep the scam going. Of the claims combined, Swartzberg said: > We\'ve seen [these claims] come up over and over during the years...But it > seems to come back every time something is coming, and the conspiracy > theories are going...That\'s why I see it as so important to get what I know > out there to debunk this kind of information.\" Lead Stories reached out to Pfizer for comment and will update this report, as appropriate, when we get a response from the company. On the first claim -- that the nanotech components (PEG) have never been used in vaccines -- Swartzberg said: \"I don\'t know what they\'re talking about. PEG has been used in vaccines before.\" On the second claim -- that severe reactions, even death, would result from the vaccine due to PEG -- Swartzberg said: \"There is no scientific basis for making this claim...There\'s no evidence that these particles in the vaccine can do any of those things.\" As for the third -- that the UK is preparing for a vaccine death wave -- Swartzberg said: \"That\'s a conspiracy theory.\" He had the same answer -- \"conspiracy theory\" -- for the last claim: that that vaccination deaths would be reported as COVID-19 deaths \"to keep the scam going.\" The Distributed News article\'s title specifies Pfizer, which has announced that its candidate was roughly 95% effective against the novel coronavirus in trials recently concluded. But the article also mentions Moderna, which also announced its vaccine has scored about 95% effective. The author of the article, Mike Adams, who writes as HEALTHRANGER, included this audio to support what Swartzberg said are baseless claims: Last, Swartzberg added: > Sure, if we drank a whole bottle of it [PEG], we could hurt ourselves or > die. But there\'s a very small amount of this ingredient in vaccines. And it > causes no harm, and there is evidence that it actually helps the vaccines > work.\" NewsGuard, a company that uses trained journalist to rank the reliability of websites, describes DistributedNews.com as: > A network of sites promoting both medical and non-medical conspiracy > theories, particularly the false claim that vaccines are linked to autism. According to NewsGuard the site does not maintain basic standards of accuracy and accountability.

See the sources for this fact-check Former President Donald Trump has drawn intense news coverage in the wake of dozens of federal charges against him in connection with classified documents. He’s also spoken publicly about his indictments. But a recent Facebook post that says it shows a new speech from the 45th commander in chief is false advertising. \"PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ADDRESSING TO THE NATION TODAY UPDATE — TRUMP NEWS,\" reads the oddly phrased June 16 post.

شهد لبنان إنهياراً مالياً وتدهوراً كبيراً في عملته الوطنية التي خسرت نحو 95 في المئة من قيمتها، خلال 4 سنوات، من 53 مليار دولار إلى 18 مليار دولار حالياً، عندما أعلنت الحكومةُ اللبنانية برئاسة حسان دياب، في 7 مارس 2020، التوقفَ عن دفع الأقساط المستحقة من ديون سندات اليوروبوند. ## فالدين الخارجي الذي يترتّب على لبنان تسديده من خلال سندات \"اليوروبوندز\" بات يزيد عن 40 مليار دولار مع الفوائد، وتبلغ ديون لبنان نحو 92 مليار دولار، موزعةً بين 61 مليار دولار بالليرة اللبنانية (على أساس 1514 ليرة لسعر صرف الدولار) و31 مليار دولار بالعملات الأجنبية لسندات اليوروبوند. يُذكر أن سندات اليوروبوند تمثّل إحدى أدوات الدين التي تصدرها الحكومات للإقتراض بالعملات الأجنبيّة، بحيث تمثّل القيمة الإسميّة للسند المبلغ الذي اقترضته الحكومة عند الإصدار، والذي يُفترض أن تسدده لحامل السند عند الاستحقاق، على أن يتم تسديد الفوائد المحددة سلفًا بشكل دوري. خلال هذه المدّة، التي يمكن أن تمتد لسنوات طويلة، أي بين إصدار السند واستحقاقه، يمكن تداول السندات وفق قيمته السوقيّة، التي تختلف عن القيمة الإسميّة. وإن تقلّب أسعار السند في السوق، بمعزل عن القيمة الإسميّة التي ستُسدد عند الاستحقاق، يعتمد على عوامل عدّة، مثل تبدّل مستوى مخاطر الدولة، أو تقلّب عوامل العرض والطلب على السند نفسه، أو حتّى تبدّل أسعار الفوائد العامّة في السوق. فعلى سبيل المثال، غالبًا ما يؤدّي ارتفاع مخاطر ديون دولة معيّنة إلى انخفاض أسعار سنداتها السياديّة في السوق، لتراجع الطلب عليها، ولترقّب المستثمرين فارقًا (أي ربحًا) أعلى بين قيمة شراء السند السوقيّة، وقيمة تسديده الإسميّة عند الاستحقاق، من أجل التعويض عن ارتفاع المخاطر. أمّا ارتفاع أسعار الفوائد بشكل عام في السوق، فيخفّض من قيمة السندات السوقيّة أيضًا، ليتلاءم الفرق (أي مجددًا، الربح) بين سعر الشراء وقيمة تسديد السند عند الاستحقاق، مع نسبة الفوائد الجديدة المرتفعة في السوق، خصوصًا أن المبلغ الذي تدفعه الحكومة لحامل السند كفوائد سيبقى ثابتًا بمعزل عن تبدل الفوائد الرائجة في السوق. **وفي هذا الإطار يقول الخبير الإقتصادي جاسم عجاقة،****في حديثٍ لـ\"مهارات نيوز\"،** \"يحق لأي شخص يحمل سندات خزينة رفع دعاوى بكل بساطة، إن حاملي سندات اليوروبوندز كانوا بالدرجة الأولى المصارف اللبنانية ومستثمرين أجانب، فإذا تم رفع دعاوى سيكون من الخارج أكثر من الداخل إلا إذا قامت المصارف برفع دعاوى أيضاً\". ويلفت إلى أن الإرتفاع الذي تشهده سندات اليوروبوند بسيط، ولكن مجرد الإرتفاع يعني إما شراء سندات خزينة من قبل الدولة أو تمهيد لرفع دعوى على الدولة. وإستناداً إلى \"مقال ومطالعة قانونية\" نُشرت في \"نداء الوطن\"، أجراها سابقاً وزير العمل الأسبق المحامي كميل أبو سليمان المسجّل في نقابتي نيويورك وبيروت \"فإن شروط سندات اليوروبوندز حدّدت لحملة السندات فترة 5 سنوات للمطالبة بالفوائد و10 سنوات للمطالبة بأصل الدين منذ تاريخ التوقّف عن الدفع. لذلك، من المرجّح رفع دعاوى ضدّ الدولة قبل 9 آذار 2025، لأنه بعد هذا التاريخ سيبدأ حاملو السندات بفقدان حقّهم بالفائدة، إلا في حال تمّت إعادة هيكلة اليوروبوندز قبل هذا التاريخ\". وفي حال صدور أحكام لصالح حاملي اليوروبوندز، كما جاء في مطالعة أبو سليمان، تتحوّل صفتهم من \"دائن\" إلى \"مستفيد من حكم قضائي\". وهذه الأحكام لا تخضع لبنود العمل الجماعي (Collective action clauses) الواردة في سندات اليوروبوندز والتي تتيح للدولة إجبار أقلية حاملي السندات على قبول إعادة الهيكلة في حال تمكّنت الدولة من نيل موافقة حاملي نسبة 75% من سندات اليوروبوندز في كل سلسلة (على أساس التصويت لكل سلسلة على حدة). وإذا صدرت أحكام قضائية، عندها يتوجّب حينئذٍ على الدولة أن تتفاوض مباشرة مع أصحاب هذه الأحكام. إذاً ما تمّ تداوله صحيح جزئياً، إذ أن مهلة الخمس سنوات ليست مهلة رفع دعاوى، ولكن بعد هذا التاريخ سيبدأ حاملو السندات بفقدان حقّهم بالفائدة، لذلك يحاول الدائنون رفع دعاوى للحفاظ على حقهم في الفوائد وليس على حقهم في رفع دعاوى، إذ أن رفع الدعاوى ممكن في أي وقت وليس محصوراً فقط بـ 5 سنوات. ##### Fact-o-meter ![\\"sidebar\\"](\\"/images/sidebar.png\\") ##### أحدث الحقائق ![\\"موازنة](\\"/media/4401/موازنة-لبنان.jpg\\") هل يحُدّ مشروع موازنة العام 2025 من تمادي الإقتصاد غير الشرعي؟ 27-09-2024 ![\\"وزير](\\"/media/4403/وزير-المالية-في-حكومة-تصريف-الأعمال-يوسف- خليل.jpg\\") هل فعلًا تعزيز الواردات الذي تحدث عنه وزير المالية لا يرتّب زيادة أعباء على ذوي الدخل المحدود؟ 27-09-2024 ![\\"موازنة](\\"/media/4056/موازنة-2022.jpg\\") هل فعلاً استعادت الخزينة اللبنانية قدرتها التمويلية؟ 24-09-2024 ![\\"موازنة](\\"/media/4401/موازنة-لبنان.jpg\\") هل هناك ما يُلزم قانونًا نشر مشروع الموازنة خلال مناقشته في مجلس الوزراء؟ 23-09-2024 ![\\"bg3\\"](\\"/images/bg3.webp\\") ![\\"logo-v1\\"](\\"/images/logo-v1.png\\") منصة مهارات نيوز الاخبارية تحتضنها مؤسسة مهارات التي تعنى بتعزيز حرية التعبير وتطوير الاعلام في لبنان والعالم العربي. تسعى مهارات نيوز إلى تزويد المواطنين بالمعلومات المستندة الى أدلة في القضايا التي تتعلق بالمصلحة العامة بهدف تعزيز المساءلة والشفافية في القطاع العام. كما تسعى مهارات نيوز الى رصد أوضاع حرية الرأي والتعبير في المنطقة العربية. تتضمن مهارات نيوز قسما خاصا بالتحقق من المعلومات fact-o-meter، وهي عضو في الشبكة الدولية للتحقق من المعلومات IFCN. وهو قسم للتحقق من تصاريح ووعود المسؤولين ويهدف الى تزويد المواطنين بالمعلومات التي يحتاجونها لمراقبة مدى دقة المعلومات التي يوردها المسؤولون في تصريحاتهم ومدى التزامهم في تطبيق السياسات التي وعدوا بها. كما تتضمن قسما خاصا يلقي الضوء على اوضاع حرية الرأي والتعبير في العالم العربي من خلال مهارات ماغازين. #### Fact-o-meter ![\\"badge- img\\"](\\" #### اشترك في البريد الإلكتروني #### العنوان العنوان: مهارات نيوز – الجدَيدة، لبنان هاتف: 1 871509 961+ بريد إلكتروني: [email protected] * * * * Maharat News © 2024.

See the sources for this fact-check West Virginia University faculty members held a special meeting on Sept. 1 to begin consideration of a proposal to strengthen the university’s rules on the coronavirus by making vaccines mandatory on campus. During the meeting, one faculty member — Kathryn Moffett Bradford, the division chief of pediatric infectious diseases at WVU\'s School of Medicine — offered a statistic that she said supported the importance of getting vaccinated for the coronavirus. \"If you look at the hospitalizations at Ruby Memorial in West Virginia, and around the country, 90% to 95% of those hospitalized are unvaccinated,\" she said. She was referring to J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, W.Va., which is part of WVU’s health system. Angela Knopf, director of media relations and public affairs for J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital, confirmed to PolitiFact West Virginia that at the time the faculty meeting was held on Sept. 1, about 90% to 95% of the patients hospitalized for COVID-19 were unvaccinated. Moreover, Knopf said that as of Sept. 13, 2021, fully 100% of the patients in the intensive care unit at Ruby Memorial were unvaccinated. How about the numbers nationally? The share of the unvaccinated in hospitals for COVID-19 is also well above 90%. As of Aug. 2, 2021, more than 164 million people in the United States had been fully vaccinated and, based on reports from 49 U.S. states and territories, there were 7,525 breakthrough cases in which the person was hospitalized or died, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we reported in August. That comes out to less than one-hundredth of 1%. #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" Instagram_logo_2016.svg/322c808c00e73c217d17772ddd5a0eb5.jpg\\") ![](\\" Instagram_logo_2016.svg/8b142c91ebe468a84a192e6df2b7b994.jpg\\") Instagram posts stated on September 17, 2024 in an Instagram post CDC warns a third of adults may die from dangerous bacteria in ramen noodles. ![\\"true\\"](\\" false/33efdb6633e5e2fdc2d4e2f63383a1e0.jpg.\\") ![\\"false\\"](\\" false.jpg\\") By Jeff Cercone • September 18, 2024 This pattern was borne out by a subsequent study published by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Between April 4 to July 17 of 2021, the study found, a bit over 92% of those hospitalized for COVID-19 were not fully vaccinated. That number refers to those who had received their first dose of the vaccine but not their second dose. These numbers also only reflect the 13 U.S. states that were involved in the study, which is about 25% of the U.S. population.

A Facebook user has circulated a post charging that President Donald Trump has helped Russia with its fires, but not California. The Sept. 17 post says, \"Trump says No Aid for CA fires. But in July he offered to help Putin with fires in Russia.\" It has over 6,900 shares in its first 24 hours. The Facebook user who posted the item did not immediately respond to requests for comment. ## Trump has criticized California\'s forest management The claim stems from a number of tweets and public statements by the president, in which he threatened to withhold financial help, accusing California of mismanagement of its forests. For at least two years, the president has criticized California\'s handling of the fires, particularly over what he says is inadequate management of its forests. In November 2018: \"There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor,\" Trump tweeted. \"Billions of dollars are given each year, with so many lives lost, all because of gross mismanagement of the forests. Remedy now, or no more Fed payments!\" On Jan.9, 2019: \"Billions of dollars are sent to the State of California for Forest fires that, with proper Forest Management, would never happen. Unless they get their act together, which is unlikely, I have ordered FEMA to send no more money. It is a disgraceful situation in lives & money!\" On Nov. 3, 2019, he revisited the theme in a series of tweets: \"The Governor of California, @GavinNewsom, has done a terrible job of forest management. I told him from the first day we met that he must “clean” his forest floors regardless of what his bosses, the environmentalists, DEMAND of him. Must also do burns and cut fire stoppers.......Every year, as the fire’s rage & California burns, it is the same thing-and then he comes to the Federal Government for $$$ help. No more. Get your act together Governor. You don’t see close to the level of burn in other states...But our teams are working well together in.........putting these massive, and many, fires out. Great firefighters! Also, open up the ridiculously closed water lanes coming down from the North. Don’t pour it out into the Pacific Ocean. Should be done immediately. California desperately needs water, and you can have it now!\" In August, at a rally in Pennsylvania, Trump threatened to withhold fire aid to the Golden State, Politico reported. \"I see again the forest fires are starting,\" he said. \"They’re starting again in California,\" he said. \"I said, you gotta clean your floors, you gotta clean your forests — there are many, many years of leaves and broken trees and they’re like, like, so flammable, you touch them and it goes up.\" More:In California: Trump visits NorCal amid fires He added: \"Maybe we’re just going to have to make them pay for it because they don’t listen to us.” According to the University of California Cooperative Extension, federal agencies, like the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, own and manage 19 million acres, or 57% of the forests in California. About 40% is owned by families, Native American tribes, or companies. And state and local agencies — from Cal Fire to land trusts, plus open space, park and water districts — own about 3%. ## Russia says US offered aid in 2019 Regarding fire aid for Russia, the Kremlin first raised the issue in a statement on July 31, 2019, as wildfires ravaged Siberia: “Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with US President Donald Trump this evening at the American side’s initiative. The US President offered help in putting out wildfires in Siberia. ... The President of Russia expressed sincere gratitude for the kind attention and the offer of help and assistance. Vladimir Putin said he will accept the offer if it becomes necessary. “The President of Russia regards the US President’s offer as a sign that it is possible that full-scale bilateral relations will be restored in the future,\" the Kremlin statement continued. Initially, the White House was coy on whether any aid was offered, according to CBS News, acknowledging that a discussion between the two leaders about wildfires had taken place but not stating directly that assistance had been offered. According to the White House, Trump \"expressed concern over the vast wildfires afflicting Siberia\" and the leaders \"discussed trade between the two countries,\" CBS reported. Trump, however, confirmed the offer of help when asked by reporters at a brief Aug. 1, 2019, news conference, Voice of America reported. “Mostly we discussed the forest fires in Siberia, and other parts of Russia,\" the president said. \"And I said, look, we have the greatest equipment, if we could help you let us know. Large sections are burning, and so I said to President Putin, if we can help you, let me know.” Despite the offers, there is no evidence that any aid was ever sent. ## Disaster declared in California amid fires As for California, although Trump threatened to withhold aid, the White House announced on Aug. 22 that the president \"declared that a major disaster exists in the State of California and ordered Federal aid to supplement State, tribal, and local recovery efforts in the areas affected by wildfires.\" Likewise, Gov. Gavin Newsom said on Aug. 22 that the White House \"has approved California’s request for a Presidential Major Disaster Declaration to bolster the state’s emergency response to wildfires burning in Northern California and support impacted residents in Lake, Napa, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, Solano, Sonoma and Yolo counties.\" “Thank you to the President for your partnership and granting this urgent Major Disaster Declaration,\" Newsom added. \"California is battling two of the largest fires in our history and has seen nearly 600 new fires in the last week caused by dry lightning strikes. These are unprecedented times and conditions, but California is strong – we will get through this,” said Governor Newsom. California Public Radio declared the Facebook post as false. ## Our ruling: False Our research shows that while the president threatened on numerous occasions to withhold aid to fire-ravaged California, the White House nonetheless offered such aid. We also found that the president offered to help Russia with its wildfires, although there is no evidence any help was ever given. We rate this claim as FALSE. ## Fact-check sources: * Twitter posts by @realDonaldTrump on Nov. 10, 2018; Jan. 9,2019; Nov. 3, 2019; * Politico, Aug. 20, \'Trump blames California for wildfires, tells state \'you gotta clean your floors\' * Newsweek, Nov. 5, 2019, \'Russia Says Trump Once Offered to Help Putin Fight Wildfires—Now He\'s Threatening to Withdraw Aid From California\' * Office of Russian President Vladimir Putin, July 31, 2019. \'Telephone Conversation with US President Donald Trump\' * CBS News, Aug. 2, 2019, \'Trump and Putin spoke about wildfires and trade, White House says\' * CAPradio, Aug. 28, 2020. \'Yes, Trump Said He Offered Russia Help With Wildfires.

No, that\'s not true: The Pirbright Institute addressed the conspiracy theories and said the patents involve infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) only, and the Gates Foundation did not fund that work. The claim originated from an article (archived here) published by Natural News on January 29, 2020, under the title \"Eugenicist Bill Gates co-hosted a \"high-level pandemic exercise\" back in October, just in time for the patented coronavirus he helped fund to be unleashed.\" It opened: > (Natural News) Not long before Chinese coronavirus started making global > headlines, The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, in partnership with > the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, held a > high-level pandemic exercise called \"Event 201\" that seems to have been a > predictive blueprint for what\'s now transpiring with the coronavirus > outbreak. > > On October 18, 2019, representatives from each of the aforementioned groups > descended on New York City to discuss how they would respond to \"a severe > pandemic\" much like the one we\'re now being told is spreading across China > and into the West. Users on social media saw this: > Is LEFTY #billgateseugenicist working for the Lefty #Chinese Government or > vice versa? Where is his arrest warrant? > > \-- Manny Sinder (@MannySinder) January 30, 2020 Lead Stories has previously debunked the claim made in the headline and at the top of the Nature News article that a \"high-level exercise\" predicted the current coronavirus. Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, which organized the event, issued a statement denying any predictions were made at what it called a \"tabletop exercise.\" It said the event was about how to marshal cooperation among businesses, governments, and key international institutions in the event of a global pandemic. The other claim - that the Pirbright Institute owns a patent on coronavirus for vaccine creation purposes - has also been debunked. Nature News linked to a patent that it claims is for the creation of a vaccine for coronavirus. The article said: > Mainstream reporting is admitting that coronavirus is constantly changing > like some kind of self-replicating bioweapon, which is all too convenient > considering that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation-funded Pirbright > Institute owns a patent on coronavirus for vaccine creation purposes. A spokeswoman for Pirbright told BuzzFeed News that this specific patent does not involve a strain affecting humans, and the Gates Foundation did not fund this work: > The patented work cited in the conspiracy theories involved infectious > bronchitis virus (IBV) only, and we made four changes in the gene > responsible for replicating the virus\'s genetic material. This has weakened > the virus so it is no longer able to cause disease and has potential to be > used as a vaccine, but has not yet been developed. The patented work was > completed in 2015 and is not funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. According to The Independent, Pirbright\'s patent is for a different strain of coronavirus: > There is a patent from Pirbright but it is for a different type of > coronavirus, the avian infectious bronchitis virus, that infects poultry and > the institute does not currently work with strains of coronavirus that > affect humans. In 2019, Pirbright announced that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation would fund the development of a Livestock Antibody Hub. The $5.5 million grant was aimed at improving animal and human health, as well as \"ensuring the security of our food supply.\" The Nature News article also claimed that Bill Gates had admitted vaccines are \"a means of reducing the world\'s population by 10 to 15 percent.\" However, Snopes has previously concluded this claim was false. NewsGuard, a company that uses trained journalists to rank the reliability of websites, describes naturalnews.com as: > A network of sites promoting both medical and non-medical conspiracy > theories, particularly the false claim that vaccines are linked to autism.

Rating: False About this rating In 1950, a New York City police officer who was working missing-persons cases examined the body of an approximately 30-year-old man that was brought into the morgue. The man had shown up in the middle of Times Square at 11:15 p.m. that evening, \"gawking and looking around at the cars and up at the signs like he\'d never seen them before,\" then was quickly hit and killed by cab when he tried to cross a street against the traffic lights. Advertisement: The pockets of the deceased\'s clothing held multiple pieces of coinage and currency of forms that had not been produced for several decades, yet many of them were in mint condition. His possessions also included items from types of businesses that no longer existed in New York City (i.e., a bill from a livery stable and a brass slug from a saloon), a letter postmarked in 1876, and cards bearing the name Rudolph Fentz with an address on Fifth Avenue. Further investigations turned up no listings for a \"Rudolph Fentz\" in New York City phone directories; the Fifth Avenue address listed on the dead man\'s cards had been a business rather than a residence for many years, and no one there had heard of Rudolph Fentz; the deceased\'s fingerprints matched none on file; and no current missing-persons reports or inquiries fit the details of the body in the morgue. Moreover, the dead man\'s clothes appeared to be about 75 years out of date in style, his apparel bore tags with the name and address of a tailor whom no one had ever heard of, and his hat bore a tag from a store that had gone out of business many years earlier. The investigating officer finally turned up a listing in an old phone directory for a \"Rudolph Fentz, Jr.,\" a man in his sixties who had passed away five years earlier. His widow had since moved to Florida, but by mail she supplied the information that her husband\'s father, Rudolph Fentz, had disappeared sometime in the 1870s, having gone out for a walk around 10:00 p.m. one evening and never returned. A search of the missing-persons file for 1876 turned up a report for a \"Rudolph Fentz,\" whose clothing and address corresponded to those of the man killed in Times Square in 1950. Advertisement: ![\\"\\"](\\" Advertisement: This ostensible report from NYPD Capt. Hubert V. Rihm about the unexplained disappearance — and inexplicable reappearance 74 years later — of what appeared to be Rudolph Fentz has been reproduced in various forms since the 1970s as one of the many tales that seemingly confirms the existence of time travel. Yet it is not a true account at all, but rather an excerpt from a short story titled \"I\'m Scared,\" which was penned by science fiction writer Jack Finney (whose best known work was the novel \"The Body Snatchers\") and published in Collier\'s magazine in 1951. In that story, the narrator is puzzled when he catches a broadcast of a radio program that had gone off the air several years earlier. He then tracks a series of unusual events that are indicative of temporal disturbances: A man received a telephone call from his sister that she insisted she hadn\'t made until three days later; a bank discovered that a check had been deposited the day before it was written; a letter mailed from Wyoming was delivered to a New York City address just seventeen minutes later; and a man was shot and killed by a gun that police had found and impounded the previous day. The narrative involving Capt. Rihm and the reappearance of Fentz was the longest and most detailed vignette offered in \"I\'m Scared\" as evidence of the narrator\'s discovery of rifts in time occurring all around New York City. The cause of those temporal disturbances — and the message of \"I\'m Scared\" — was explicated in the story\'s closing paragraphs: Advertisement: > Haven\'t you noticed, too, on the part of nearly everyone you know, a > growing rebellion against the present? And an increasing longing for the > past? I have. Never before in all my long life have I head so many people > wish that they lived \"at the turn of the century,\" or \"when life was > simple,\" or \"worth living,\" or \"when you could bring children into the > world and count on the future,\"or simply \"in the good old days.\" People > didn\'t talk that way when I was young! The present was a glorious time! But > they talk that way now. > > For the first time in man\'s history, man is desperate to escape the > present. Our newsstands are jammed with escape literature, the very name of > which is significant. Entire magazines are devoted to fantastic stories of > escape -- to other times, past and future, to other worlds and planets -- > escape to anywhere but here and now. Even our larger magazines, book > publishers and Hollywood are beginning to meet the rising demand for this > kind of escape. Yes, there is a craving in this world like a thirst, a > terrible mass pressure that you can almost feel, of millions of minds > struggling against the barriers of time. I am utterly convinced that this > terrible mass pressure of millions of minds is already, slightly but > definitely, affecting time itself. In the moments when this happens -- when > the almost universal longing to escape is greatest -- my incidents occur. > Man is disturbing the clock of time, and I am afraid it will break. When it > does, I leave to your imagination the last few hours of madness that will be > left to us; all the countless moments that now make up our lives suddenly > ripped apart and chaotically tangled in time. > > Well, I have lived most of my life; I can be robbed of only a few more > years. But it seems too bad -- this universal craving to escape what could > be a rich, productive, happy world. We live on a planet well able to provide > a decent life for every soul on it, which is all ninety-nine of a hundred > human beings ask. Why in the world can\'t we have it?

Jeff Chiu / AP ![\\"Amy](\\" By Amy Sherman March 9, 2023 # In swipe at Fox News, Trump misleads about Los Angeles County election #### If Your Time is short * Judicial Watch, a conservative group, entered a legal settlement in 2019 with Los Angeles County and the secretary of state to require the county to remove inactive registered voters. * The county said that it removed about 1.2 million inactive people from its voter rolls after the 2022 election because they had not voted in recent elections, including the 2020 election. * There is no evidence that the presence of inactive voters led to an unfair or fraudulent election. See the sources for this fact-check Former President Donald Trump, who continues to falsely call the 2020 election \"rigged,\" pointed to litigation in Los Angeles County as one sign that the election wasn’t fair. \"Let\'s ask Rupert Murdoch — So how can the election have been ‘fair and balanced’ if Los Angeles County agreed, during litigation, that there were 1.2 million ineligible voters after the election? And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Our elections are Third World!\" Trump wrote on Truth Social on Feb. 28. Trump linked to an article by Judicial Watch, a conservative activist group that reached a settlement in 2019 with Los Angeles County to clear its voter rolls of longtime inactive voters. But Trump’s statement could create the impression that having inactive voters on the rolls signals an unfair election, and he hasn’t provided evidence to support that allegation. Trump didn’t directly state in his post that he was referring to the 2020 election as unfair, but it seems likely he was talking about that election because after that race he feuded with Fox News, which has \"fair and balanced\" as its former motto. Trump attacked Fox News in 2020 after it accurately called Arizona for Joe Biden. Murdoch chairs Fox News’ parent company. The recent release of messages between Fox News pundits and executives showed that some at the network knew post-election statements by Trump allies were wrong, but the network aired them anyway. Murdoch told an editor at the New York Post that some of Trump’s statements were \"bull—- and damaging.\" The messages have been released as part of Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation lawsuit against Fox News. We emailed a Trump’s campaign spokesperson, Steven Cheung, to ask for his evidence and what year Trump was referring to and did not get a response to that question. \"Having ineligible voters on voting rolls is a clear threat to election integrity,\" Cheung said. Trump has long spread falsehoods about voter fraud in California and about what the legal settlement means. Federal law has rules about removing inactive voters The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 requires states to register eligible U.S. citizens when they obtain a driver’s license. Unsurprisingly, these \"active registered voters\" often move from the address in their voter file without informing election officials, said Judd Choate, Colorado election director who teaches classes on the act. If the state learns that voters have moved without providing a new address, that state can \"inactivate\" that voter’s registration unless or until those voters update their registration or vote in a future election. The National Voter Registration Act prohibits states from canceling inactive voter registrations until the state holds that registration in the inactive status for two election cycles. (A few states are exempt from the act.) Every state following the act will have thousands or millions of inactive voters. For example, Trump’s home state, Florida, inactivated about 375,000 voters in 2022 and as of August 2022 had more than 1 million inactive voters. Having inactive voters is a \"good sign,\" Choate said. It means that election officials are working to identify voters who no longer live there and properly inactivate them under federal law. \"If President Trump took my class, his posting on Truth Social would receive an ‘F,’\" Choate said. #### 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 Judicial Watch and Los Angeles County reached a settlement to clean up voter rolls In January 2019, Judicial Watch, Los Angeles County and the California secretary of state reached a settlement agreement that required the county to remove inactive registrations in compliance with federal law. Led by attorney and Trump supporter Tom Fitton, Judicial Watch has filed numerous lawsuits challenging jurisdictions over voter rolls. The agreement said that all parties agreed there was no admission of liability or wrongdoing by the state or county. It doesn’t mention voter or election fraud. In accordance with that settlement agreement, the county sent a Feb. 15 update to Judicial Watch that said there were about 5.6 million active voters on the rolls and about 527,000 inactive voters, but zero who had been inactive for two consecutive federal elections. The county removed about 1.2 million voters from the inactive voter list following the 2022 general election, which aligned with federal requirements and the inactivity through two federal election cycles (2020 and 2022), said Mike Sanchez, a Los Angeles County elections office spokesperson. Sanchez said, \"Any voters who were inactive in 2020 who appeared to vote would have been activated; therefore none of those (who) moved from ‘inactive’ to ‘cancel’ had voted at any time in the period covered by two federal election cycles.\" We found no evidence that the existence of inactive registrants meant that the election was unfair to Trump. Democratic candidates regularly win elections in left-leaning Los Angeles County. Biden won the county by more than 1.8 million votes. Trump’s statement about \"ineligible voters\" could create the impression that they were ineligible to vote because they didn’t meet basic requirements, such as being 18, a U.S. citizen and a county resident. That’s different from an \"inactive voter\" who at one time was eligible, but became inactive. Nationwide, inactive registrations as a percentage of all registrations were about 9% in 2022. California was an outlier on the high side with about 16% — around the same as West Virginia. Los Angeles County is America\'s largest election jurisdiction, so it follows that it would have a disproportionate share of inactive voters, said Rachel Orey, an elections expert at the Bipartisan Policy Center, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank. \"The presence of inactive voters does not indicate fraud: a voter\'s categorization as ‘inactive’ means that they are eligible and registered but have not tried to vote in recent elections and failed to respond to an official mailer from the election office,\" Orey said. Our ruling Trump said that the 2020 election could not have been fair because \"Los Angeles County agreed, during litigation, that there were 1.2 million ineligible voters after the election.\" Los Angeles County reached a settlement with Judicial Watch in 2019 agreeing to clear the voter rolls of inactive voters. The county cleared about 1.2 million inactive voters after the 2022 election because they had not voted in recent elections, including the 2020 election. Trump’s statement that the settlement signals that the election was unfair is also incorrect. Trump lost Los Angeles county by about 1.8 million in 2020. The people who were later removed from the rolls did not vote at all, so they had no influence on the outcome. We rate this statement False. **RELATED** : PANTS ON FIRE: Trump’s latest California voter fraud claim as baseless as past allegations **RELATED** : Do outsized voter rolls signify fraud?

As a candidate and as president, Donald Trump has championed the cause of coal mining. But critics of the coal industry have countered that Trump and other supporters of coal are overlooking an energy sector with an even bigger impact on jobs -- solar energy. In a Chicago Tribune op-ed published on April 20 -- two days before Earth Day -- Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Ill., took issue with Trump’s environmental priorities. At one point in the op-ed, he wrote, \"More than 260,000 Americans are employed by the domestic solar industry — three times as many workers as employed by the entire coal mining industry.\" We had previously looked at whether there are more people employed in the U.S. solar-energy industry than in the oil industry. (There aren’t.) But the comparison with the coal industry was new to us, so we decided to take a look. The sources of Schneider’s statistics When we contacted Schneider’s office, they cited two sources, one for each number in the statement. The first number -- 260,000 U.S. solar workers -- stems from the 2016 edition of the National Solar Jobs Census, which is published by the Solar Foundation, a nonprofit organization aligned with the solar industry. We confirmed that, according to the foundation’s calculations, there were 260,077 solar workers in the United States in 2016. The second number -- unstated in the op-ed, but equaling 87,000 workers employed in coal mining, if you do the math -- actually overstates the number of mine workers. According to the Energy Information Administration, a part of the federal Energy Department, the number of people working at coal mines was 65,971 in 2016. The actual ratio between the two numbers would be almost four- to-one. So the congressman has some support for his statement. However, the comparison is not exactly apples-to-apples. Let’s explore why. Comparing data for energy jobs is tricky One problem for Schneider’s numerical comparison is that it uses different databases, with different methodologies. The Solar Foundation told us that their data comes from more than 500,000 telephone calls and more than 60,000 emails to known and potential energy establishments across the United States, resulting in a total of 3,888 full responses. The group counted jobs held by a worker who spends at least 50 percent of his or her time on solar-related work. They included jobs in installation, manufacturing, sales, distribution, and project development, among other categories. The Energy Information Administration data, meanwhile, comes from official U.S. Labor Department data. It includes employees \"engaged in production, preparation, processing, development, maintenance, repair shop, or yard work at mining operations, including office workers.\" #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" black/4590875651af69b2c789ceab409664dd.jpg\\") ![](\\" black/72988380e8c8bd188dc360d11552e4a0.jpg\\") X posts stated on August 17, 2024 in In X post on Aug. 17 Photo shows “domestic Antifa are already gathering in Chicago, to create chaos during the Harris-Walz DNC.” ![\\"true\\"](\\" false/33efdb6633e5e2fdc2d4e2f63383a1e0.jpg.\\") ![\\"false\\"](\\" false.jpg\\") By Sabine Martin • August 21, 2024 The coal industry considers the official coal employment numbers to be low \"to the point of being fiction,\" said Terry Headley, a spokesman for the American Coal Council. \"They don\'t include many people who work at a coal mine every day, full time, but are not company employees,\" Headley said. \"They are employees of service companies that provide direct support services, such as coal truck drivers, electricians, surveyors, machinists, mechanics, construction workers and others. Taken together, despite everything that has been thrown at it, West Virginia alone has some 50,000 ‘coal miners and contractors’ according to the West Virginia Office of Miners Health Safety and Training. If you go by the federal government data, West Virginia has only about 13,000 coal miners working.\" A better source While there will always be difficulties in making an exact comparison between the two energy sectors, there is a database well-suited for directly comparing solar and coal jobs. The United States Energy and Employment Report was designed by the Energy Information Association to put a variety of energy sectors on an equal statistical footing. This report found 373,087 solar jobs in 2016, compared to 160,119 coal jobs. (That’s a higher number for solar jobs than in the Solar Foundation report; it’s because the Energy Information Administration included jobs even if a relatively small proportion of the worker’s work week was spent on activities related to solar energy.) Here’s the full summary: ![](\\" This data produces a ratio of 2.3 solar jobs for every coal job. So by this measurement, there are more solar jobs than coal jobs, but it’s short of three times as high, as Schneider wrote. Tara Sinclair, a George Washington University economist and an expert in labor-force data, said she agreed that the U.S. Energy and Employment Report data is the best source to use. She added that other data from Indeed, where she is a senior economic fellow, bolsters the idea that the labor market is healthier for solar than for coal. \"We saw almost eight times more solar job postings than coal job postings in the United States in the first quarter of 2017,\" Sinclair said. \"Of course, these numbers don\'t represent current employment and are reflective of both growth and turnover in the different sectors. Still, it gives a sense of scale of these industries. This comparison leads me to think that Rep. Schneider\'s estimates may be on the conservative side looking forward.\" Our ruling Schneider said, \"More than 260,000 Americans are employed by the domestic solar industry — three times as many workers as employed by the entire coal mining industry.\" Based on an apples-to-apples comparison using the best available data, the ratio is just short of three-to-one. Still, the data we found confirms that the number of solar-related jobs does outpace the number of coal-related jobs today. We rate the statement Mostly True.

States have procedures to prevent double voting #### If Your Time is short * All states have different procedures in place to prevent double voting, and mail-in ballots are verified before they are counted. * Voting or trying to vote twice is illegal. Experts said signing a mail-in ballot and casting an in-person ballot would be a surefire way to get caught committing voter fraud. * Experts advise sending in vote-by-mail ballots early to be sure they are counted. See the sources for this fact-check A widespread Facebook post wrongly claims that a loophole in mail-in voting would let people cast two ballots without election officials catching on to the scheme. The supposed trick: Vote once by mail, and then a second time in person before the mail-in ballot gets counted. \"This is real,\" says the Aug. 20 post, which has been shared thousands of times on the platform. \"If I mail in my ballot on Sunday and show up to the polling station on Tuesday, they won’t know if I’ve already voted or not. That, my friends, is a serious concern for all of us.\" 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.) Like claims that receiving multiple mail ballot applications means voters can return multiple ballots, it’s inaccurate. The Associated Press has debunked the same claim, and elections experts told PolitiFact that every state has procedures to detect and prevent such double voting. \"The entire premise is wrong,\" said Matthew Weil, director of the Elections Project at the Bipartisan Policy Center, a think tank in Washington. \"All states have controls in place specifically to address this,\" added Charles Stewart III, a political science professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. \"States handle this differently, but the principle is that you only get to vote once.\" How states check to ensure one vote per person Typically, experts said, poll books used for in-person voting will indicate whether you received a vote-by-mail or absentee ballot (there’s no objective difference between the two). What happens when you show up in person depends on the state’s laws and the type of poll book used. In general, experts described a handful of ways election systems would handle the Facebook post’s hypothetical scenario, assuming you are duly registered to vote in the first place: * You show up to vote on Tuesday. The poll worker notes that you were issued a mail-in ballot. You brought the mail-in ballot with you, so you surrender it and vote in person. * You show up to vote on Tuesday. The poll worker notes that you were issued a mail-in ballot. You don’t have your mail-in ballot with you. The poll worker lets you submit a provisional ballot, which election officials count only if the mail-in ballot doesn\'t show up. * You show up to vote on Tuesday. The poll worker notes that you were issued a mail-in ballot. The poll book is electronic, so the poll worker lets you vote in person and updates the book, which notifies the election office that you did so. When your mail-in ballot arrives later, election officials reject it and count the in-person ballot instead. * You show up to vote on Tuesday. The poll worker notes that you were issued a mail-in ballot. The poll book indicates that your ballot has already been accepted for counting and removed from its return envelope. You are not allowed to vote in person. #### Featured Fact-check ![](\\" ![](\\" Social Media stated on August 21, 2024 in publicaciones en redes sociales Videos muestran a Kamala Harris ebria. ![\\"true\\"](\\" rulings/tom_ruling_falso/7afe5367c2d46afca69ca3f17ae24296.jpg.\\") ![\\"false\\"](\\" rulings/tom_ruling_falso.png\\") By Maria Briceño • August 28, 2024 * You show up to vote on Tuesday. The poll worker notes that you were issued a mail-in ballot. The poll book indicates that your ballot has already been accepted for counting and removed from its return envelope. You dispute this and submit a provisional ballot, which election officials count only if the record proves to be erroneous. Some states detail their procedures online. In California, for example, voters who receive vote-by-mail ballots but want to vote in person can hand over their mail-in ballot and vote in person, or fill out a provisional ballot. But in each case, only one vote per person counts. All mail-in ballots require verification before being counted. Matt Dietrich, a spokesperson for the Illinois State Board of Elections, said mail ballots in Illinois are \"extremely carefully tracked and verified,\" with return envelopes that contain bar codes for the voter’s unique voter ID number. Voter fraud is illegal There are reasons why people who request mail-in ballots might legitimately show up at the polls, said Lorraine Minnite, an associate professor of public policy at Rutgers University, Camden. \"People anticipate needing to vote by mail, and then their plans change and they show up at the polls,\" Minnite said. \"Or sometimes, in the case of people whose memories are failing, they don\'t remember having voted a month or two before an election and proceed to the polls on Election Day, only to find out that they have already voted.\" But as an intentional double-voting scheme, the process described in the Facebook post \"is not a viable loophole,\" Dietrich said. In fact, it’s a surefire way to get caught committing voter fraud. \"This is an easy felony to prove because the voter would be signing his or her name twice — once on the mail ballot and then again at the polling place,\" Dietrich said. Weil, the director of the Bipartisan Policy Center’s Elections Project, agreed: \"It’s one of the most obvious ways to get caught because you’re not actually casting any ballot that they don’t know about ... You’d be giving them all the evidence they need to show that you double voted.\" Weil said voters hoping to cast their ballots by mail should send them in early, rather than waiting until the Sunday before Election Day, to ensure that they are received on time and counted. **RELATED:How to make sure your ballot is counted this fall** Our ruling A Facebook post said, \"If I mail in my ballot on Sunday and show up to the polling station on Tuesday, they won’t know if I’ve already voted or not.\" That wouldn’t work in practice. All states have procedures in place to prevent double voting, and people who try it are likely to get caught.

האם ב-2004 היחס לשביתת האסירים אכן היה שונה מהיחס לשביתות שקדמו לה, והאם השביתה אכן הסתיימה תוך שלושה ימים וללא הישגים לאסירים? בדקנו. שביתת הרעב הראשונה של אסירים פלסטינים הגיעה שנה אחת בלבד לאחר מלחמת ששת הימים. ב-1968 מחו כ-150 אסירים בכלא שכם על תנאי כליאתם ודרשו לאפשר ביקורי משפחות ללא נוכחות סוהר. על פי דיווחי העיתונות מאותה תקופה, השביתה הסתיימה בתוך שלושה ימים בלבד, לאחר \"שהגורמים המוסמכים\" ביררו \"את האפשרות או הצורך לשפר את תנאי העצורים\". כשנה לאחר מכן, הכריזו מאות אסירים פלסטינים בכלא רמלה ובכלא אשמורת על שביתת רעב נוספת, במסגרתה הועלו כמה דרישות, שנענו באופן חלקי. במרוצת השנים נרשמו כמה וכמה שביתות רעב דומות של אסירים ביטחוניים. ב-1970 בכלא שקמה, ב-1972 בכלא אשקלון, ב-1976 בכלא שקמה שוב, ב-1980 בכלא נפחא, ב-1984 בכלא ג\'ניד ועוד. בכל המקרים הללו עדיין היה מדובר בפעולות מוגבלות במספרן - בין אסירים בודדים לכמה עשרות - וממרחק השנים קשה לומר עד כמה הצליחו האסירים לרשום בהן הישגים משמעותיים. השביתה הגדולה הראשונה הגיעה ב-1987, כמה חודשים לפני פרוץ האינתיפאדה הראשונה. כ-3,000 אסירים (75% מהאסירים שהוחזקו אז בישראל) הכריזו אז על שביתת רעב נרחבת. על פי דיווח בנושא בעיתון חדשות, נראה כי הפעם רשמו האסירים הישגים, וכי המחאה החלה לדעוך לאחר שנציב השב\"ס \"שיגר לאסירים איגרת אישית, שבה הבטיח לפעול בצורה אנושית והגיונית, תוך מתן טיפול נאות לאסירים\". עוד צוין בכתבה כי נהלי בתי הסוהר אכן שונו כדי לתקן \"פגיעה קשה בדרכי אחזקת האסירים הביטחוניים\". בשנת 1992 רשמו האסירים הפלסטינים שביתת רעב נוספת שהסתיימה בהישגים מצידם. אז הימים היו טרום הסכמי אוסלו, והאסירים פתחו בשביתה גדולה ב-16 בתי הכלא ברחבי הארץ. על מנת לא להכשיל את המגעים מול ההנהגה הפלסטינית, ואולי גם מתוך הנחה שחלק גדול מהאסירים ממילא ישוחררו בקרוב אם אכן ייחתם הסכם, נאלצו הרשויות בישראל להיענות לחלק מדרישות השובתים ושיפרו באופן ניכר את תנאי המאסר. ומה קרה ב-2004? במהלך כהונתו של שרון כראש ממשלה והנגבי כשר לביטחון פנים הכריזו כ-3,000 אסירים מפלגים שונים על שביתת רעב במחאה על תנאי מעצרם. האסירים דרשו, בין היתר, להאריך את משך הביקורים, לאפשר להם תנועה חופשית בין האגפים בכלא, להתקין טלפונים ציבוריים, להסיר את מחיצות הזכוכית שהותקנו בחדרי הביקורים, ולהפסיק עם ענישת הבידוד וענישה קולקטיבית. עוד בנושא המשרוקית * חיסול נסראללה: יצרני הפייקים ניסו לכתוב את המציאות מחדש * האם החוק לא מעמיד תנאי כשירות לממלא־מקום יו\"ר הרשות השנייה * מה בג\"ץ אמר על החזקת גופות מחבלים? הוא לא התנגד לרעיון * מחוברים בלי חיבור - הכירו את הטלוויזיה האלחוטית המתקדמת בתגובה הודיעה הממשלה כי לא תקיים כל משא ומתן עם האסירים. על פי הדיווחים בכלי התקשורת אז, השביתה אכן לא הצליחה לתפוס תאוצה ודעכה לאיטה. לאחר שלושה ימים פרסם שב\"ס תיעוד של מרוואן ברגותי אוכל בתאו (עניין שחזר על עצמו גם בשביתה של 2017), ואחרי עשרה ימים חזרו כ-350 אסירי כלא שקמה לאכול. זמן קצר מאוחר יותר פרסמה הוועדה העליונה לענייני אסירים של הרשות הוראה להקפיא באופן זמני את שביתת הרעב. השביתה הופסקה באופן סופי לאחר כשלושה שבועות, מבלי שמרבית דרישות האסירים נענו. אם היו הקלות נרחבות יותר לאסירים, הן הגיעו לאחר השביתות הבאות ב-2012 וב-2017. ח\"כ הנגבי מסר לנו בתגובה: \"אכן ברגותי הפסיק לשבות אחרי שלושה ימים והיתר אחרי 18 ימים. החשוב הוא לא מספר הימים אלא מספר ההישגים של השובתים, וזה מספר שהסתכם בספרה אחת: אפס\". \- פרסומת - בשורה התחתונה: דבריו של הנגבי נכונים ברובם. לפחות בשביתות הגדולות שלפני שנת 2004, הסכימו הממשלות השונות להיעתר לפחות לחלק מדרישות השובתים. השביתה בתקופתו הסתיימה ללא הישגים משמעותיים מידיים לאסירים, אך בניגוד לדבריו היא לא הסתיימה תוך שלושה ימים, אלא לאחר שבועיים-שלושה. ## לבדיקה המלאה לחצו כאן שם: צחי הנגבימפלגה: הליכודתאריך: 13.9ציטוט: \"בעבר האסירים ניצחו את כל הממשלות, בתקופתי השביתה שלהם הופסקה תוך 3 ימים (ללא הישגים)\"ציון: נכון ברובו בשבוע שעבר, בעקבות בריחתם של ששת האסירים הביטחוניים מכלא גלבוע ופעולות השב\"ס בתגובה, נרשמו בבתי כלא ברחבי הארץ מספר מהומות והפרות סדר, שלבסוף הופסקו בתוך זמן קצר. חבר הכנסת צחי הנגבי מהליכוד התייחס להתפרעויות של האסירים והעצורים הפלסטינים במהלך ראיון לאריה גולן בתכנית \"הבוקר הזה\" בכאן רשת ב\', והזכיר כי בתקופתו כשר לביטחון הפנים הצליח לדכא אירוע דומה, של שביתת רעב גדולה במספר בתי כלא ביטחוניים. \"כששביתת הרעב החלה בתקופה שלי, אני באתי לראש הממשלה [אריאל] שרון, ואמרתי [...] אני מתנגד לכך שייכנעו כהוא זה [...] בעבר כל השביתות ניצחו את כל הממשלות, פשוט את כל הממשלות. אמר לי אריק שרון, \'תעשה מה שצריך\'. אז אני כינסתי מסיבת עיתונאים והודעתי: מצידי שישבתו עד מוות. היה זעזוע גדול, אבל אחרי שלושה ימים הם הפסיקו את השביתה.\" בדקנו האם אכן פעולות הממשלה ב-2004 היו חסרות תקדים ביחס לשביתות רעב קודמות, והאם באמת השביתה הופסקה בתוך שלושה ימים. שביתת הרעב הראשונה שננקטה על ידי אסירים פלסטינים התקיימה ב-1968 בכלא שכם, אז מחו כ-150 אסירים על תנאי כליאתם ודרשו לאפשר ביקורי משפחות ללא נוכחות סוהר. על פי דיווחו העיתונות מאותה תקופה, השביתה הסתיימה בתוך שלושה ימים בלבד, לאחר \"שהגורמים המוסמכים\" ביררו \"את האפשרות או הצורך לשפר את תנאי העצורים\". כשנה לאחר מכן, הכריזו מאות אסירים בכלא רמלה ובכלא אשמורת על שביתת רעב נוספת, במסגרתה הועלו כמה דרישות, שנענו באופן חלקי. במרוץ השנים, נרשמו כמה וכמה שביתות רעב דומות של אסירים ביטחוניים. ב-1970 בכלא שקמה, ב-1972 בכלא אשקלון, ב-1976 בכלא שקמה שוב, ב-1980 בכלא נפחא, ב-1984 בכלא ג\'ניד ועוד. כל אלו היו פעולות מוגבלות במספרן, של אסירים בודדים עד כמה עשרות, ולא ברור אם בכולן הצליחו השובתים להשיג חלק או כל מבוקשם. בחלק מהמחאות אף מתו אסירים, כתוצאה מהזנה בכוח שנכפתה עליהם באמצעות צינור בעודם כפותים לכיסא. עד היום בישראל מתו חמישה אסירים פלסטינים בצורה זו. בשנת 1987 נרשמה השביתה הגדולה ביותר עד אז, כאשר כ-3000 אסירים (75% מהאסירים שהוחזקו אז בישראל) הכריזו על שביתת רעב נרחבת. בדיווח בעיתון \"חדשות\" נכתב אז כי המחאה החלה לדעוך לאחר שנציב השב\"ס \"שיגר לאסירים איגרת אישית, שבה הבטיח לפעול בצורה אנושית והגיונית, תוך מתן טיפול נאות לאסירים\". עוד צויין בכתבה כי עם פרוץ השביתה, נהלי בתי הסוהר אכן שונו כדי לתקן \"פגיעה קשה בדרכי אחזקת האסירים הביטחוניים\". בשנת 1992, במקביל למשא ומתן לקראת החתימה על הסכמי אוסלו, התקיימה שביתת רעב גדולה ומוצלחת נוספת ב-16 בתי הכלא ברחבי הארץ. על מנת לא להכשיל את המגעים המתקדמים מול הרשות הפלסטינית, ובהנחה שחלק גדול מהאסירים ממילא ישוחררו בקרוב במסגרת ההסכם המתגבש, נאלצו הרשויות בישראל להיענות לחלק מדרישות השובתים ושיפרו באופן ניכר את תנאי המאסר. באוגוסט 2004, בזמן כהונתו של שרון כראש ממשלה וצחי הנגבי כשר לביטחון פנים, הכריזו כ-3000 אסירים מפלגים שונים על שביתת רעב במחאה על תנאי מעצרם. האסירים דרשו, בין היתר, להאריך את משך הביקורים, לאפשר להם תנועה חופשית בין האגפים בכלא, להתקין טלפונים ציבוריים, להסיר את מחיצות הזכוכית שהותקנו בחדרי הביקורים, ולהפסיק עם ענישת הבידוד וענישה קולקטיבית. בתגובה, הודיעה הממשלה כי לא תקיים כל משו ומתן עם האסירים, והנגבי אף הכריז כי מצידו \"שישבתו רעב עד מוות\". על פי הדיווחים בכלי התקשורת אז, השביתה לא הצליחה לתפוס תאוצה ודעכה לאיטה. לאחר שלושה ימים פרסם שב\"ס תיעוד של מרוואן ברגותי אוכל בתאו, ואחרי עשרה ימים חזרו כ-350 אסירי כלא שקמה לאכול. זמן קצר מאוחר יותר פרסמה הוועדה העליונה לענייני אסירים של הרשות הוראה להקפיא באופן זמני את שביתת הרעב. השביתה הופסקה באופן סופי לאחר כשלושה שבועות, מבלי שמרבית דרישות האסירים נענו. אם כן, נראה שדבריו של הנגבי מדויקים ברובם. עד שנת 2004, אל מול רוב שביתות הרעב המשמעותיות שקיימו אסירים ביטחוניים בישראל, ודאי אלו הנרחבות שהקיפו כמה בתי כלא במקביל ומאות או אלפי אסירים, הסכימו הממשלות השונות להיעתר לפחות לחלק מדרישות השובתים. עם זאת, הדבר לא קרה בכל אחת משביתות הרעב בעבר. בנוסף, בשביתה מ-2004 אכן נקטה הממשלה בגישה תקיפה יותר מבעבר והצליחה \"לשבור\" את השובתים, מבלי להיענות לדרישותיהם העיקריות. עם זאת, השביתה לא חוסלה לאחר שלושה ימים. המסה המשמעותית של האסירים שבו לאכול לאחר כמעט שבועיים, והשביתה הופסקה סופית לאחר כשלושה שבועות. לכן דבריו של הנגבי נכונים ברובם. תגובת הנגבי: \"אכן ברגותי הפסיק לשבות אחרי שלושה ימים והיתר אחרי 18 ימים. החשוב הוא לא מספר הימים אלא מספר ההישגים של השובתים, וזה מספר שהסתכם בספרה אחת: אפס\". תחקיר: אורי כהן ![](\\"\\"/) מחוברים בלי חיבור -

During remarks made in the White House Rose Garden, he called on the Justice Department to, among other measures, crack down on “ghost guns” which are unregistered firearms that can be assembled from kits. Advertisement: The announcement followed two mass shootings in Georgia and Colorado that made headlines in 2021. Some of Biden\'s comments were picked up and misrepresented by conservatives, including U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri who claimed that Biden referred to the Second Amendment as a “phony argument.” Biden’s full comments are recorded in the White House transcript from his speech. He actually said: Advertisement: > But I also — today, we’re taking steps to confront not just the gun crisis, > but what is actually a public health crisis. Nothing — nothing I’m about to > recommend in any way impinges on the Second Amendment. They’re phony, > arguments suggesting that these are Second Amendment rights at stake from > what we’re talking about. The full video of his speech can be seen below. He makes the specific comment at the 4:25 mark: The Second Amendment of the constitution reads: \"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.\" It is fairly clear, if you listen to Biden\'s full remarks, that he did not say that the Second Amendment is a “phony argument.” Rather, he said any arguments that his recommended gun control measures threaten Second Amendment rights are “phony.” As such, we rate this claim as “False.” ### By Nur Ibrahim Nur Nasreen Ibrahim is a reporter with experience working in television, international news coverage, fact checking, and creative writing. ## Article Tags Joe Biden Gun Control 2nd Amendment Recommendations Advertisement: ![\\"Snopes.com\\"](\\"/design/images/logo-main.png\\") Company About Us FAQs Contact Us Submit a Topic Navigate Home Search Archive Newsletters Random Sections Latest Top Fact Checks News Account Join Login Game FactBot Like Us on Facebook Follow Us on Twitter © 1995 - 2024 by Snopes Media Group Inc.

از ردهبندی کشورها، بیمعنی است. * به جز این شرکتهای بخش خصوصی نیز در ارسال محمولههای مختلف به فضا و ارائه محصولات خود به نهادهای دولتی فعالیت میکنند. روز ۱۵ آذر ۱۴۰۲، خبر پرتاب محموله زیستی سازمان فضای ایران به فضا در منابع رسمی جمهوری اسلامی ایران منتشر شد. مرورگر شما ویدیو با این پسوند را پشتیبانی نمیکند. این محموله زیستی در کپسولی قرار داشت که پژوهشکده هوا-فضا (زیرمجموعه وزارت علوم)، تحقیقات و فناوری ساخته بود. کپسول در پرتاب زیرمداری با موشک سازمان هوا- فضا (زیرمجموعه وزارت دفاع) به ارتفاع ۱۳۰ کیلومتری (مرز فضا) فرستاده شد. هدف این آزمایش (علاوهبر تست موشک) تست کیفیت «کپسول زیستی» بود. حسن سالاریه، رئیس سازمان فضایی ایران، وعده این پرواز را در اوایل مهرماه داده و موارد تست را بیان کردهبود. مرورگر شما ویدیو با این پسوند را پشتیبانی نمیکند. ساعاتی بعد از پرتاب، وزیر ارتباطات در تلویزیون ایران گفت با انجام این آزمایش «ایران جز شش کشوری است که فناوری کپسول زیستی را در اختیار دارد». او همچنین در شبکههای اجتماعی (لینک۱ و لینک۲) نوشت: > جدیدترین کپسول زیستی کشورمان با پرتابگر بومی و با موفقیت به فضا پرتاب شد تا > اعزام فضانورد ایرانی یک گام به واقعیت نزدیکتر شود.… بعد از یک دهه وقفه، > جدیدترین کپسول زیستی کشورمان با یک پرتابگر بومی به ارتفاع ۱۳۰km با موفقیت > پرتاب و آزمایشهای برنامهریزی شده برای آن با موفقیت انجام شد. این کپسول > زیستی ۵۰۰ کیلویی و پرتابگر آن در راستای تحقق نقشه راه طرح اعزام فضانورد > ایرانی به فضا به دست دانشمندان کشورمان طراحی و ساخته شده است.… «سلمان» کلاس > جدیدی از پرتابگرهای فضایی است که برای اولینبار محموله مخروطی-کروی نیمتنی > را با موفقیت پرتاب کرد… مرورگر شما ویدیو با این پسوند را پشتیبانی نمیکند. در همان روز، روابط عمومی وزارت ارتباطات انیمیشنی منتشر کرد و در آن مدعی شد هدف آزمایش «توسعه فناوریهای کلیدی اعزام انسان به فضا شامل فناوریهای پرتاب، بازیابی و فرود آرام کپسول و سپر حرارتی» است. مرورگر شما ویدیو با این پسوند را پشتیبانی نمیکند. یک روز بعد از این آزمایش موشکی نیز وزارت دفاع یک کلیپ تبلیغاتی منتشر کرد که در بخشی از آن لحظه قرار دادن چند ویال پلاستیکی حاوی مایعاتی که احتمالا محیط کشت و نگهداری نمونههای زیستی هستند، در کپسول دیده میشود (ویدیو زیر دقیقه ۰۱:۰۵). مرورگر شما ویدیو با این پسوند را پشتیبانی نمیکند. ### از ویدیوهای منتشر شده از پرتاب کپسول زیستی کاووس، چه میفهمیم؟ با وجود اینکه همه این کلیپها و ویدیوها، ساعتها پس از بازگشت محموله به زمین منتشر شدهاست، فرآیندی که در چنین پرتابهایی چند دقیقه بیشتر طول نمیکشد، تا زمان انتشار این مطلب همه تصاویر و ویدیوها فقط تا لحظه پرتاب است و از ورود محموله به جو، باز شدن چترها، فرود کپسول روی زمین و باز شدن محموله هیچ تصویری منتشر نشدهاست. در کلیپ وزارت ارتباطات به سه نکته به عنوان اهداف این آزمایش اشاره میشود. نکته اول «فناوریهای پرتاب» است که منظور موشک جدیدی است که در این آزمایش تست شدهاست. اسم این موشک «سلمان» است، اما شواهد تصویری و ظاهر و اجزای موشک (چنانچه در ویدیو وزارت دفاع دیده میشود) نشان میدهد با نسخهای از موشک اسکاد-سی (شهاب ۲) مواجهیم و حتی بخشی از پنل آن نیز به زبان روسی است. ![\\"\\"](\\" موشک سلمان در حال آمادهسازی ![\\"\\"](\\" موتور موشک سلمان ![\\"\\"](\\" پنل با کلیدهایی با الفبای سیریلیک اما مهمترین هدف بیانشده برای این پرتاب، آزمایش کیفیت کپسول زیستی «کاووس» و پاسخ به این سوال است که آیا این فناوری که در ویدیو بالا میبینیم، توانایی حفظ شرایط زیستی برای موجودات زنده و بیرون جو و فضا را دارد یا نه. هم تصویر ویدیو بالا هم سایر تصاویر گویای این بود که ممکن است آنچه به عنوان کپسول زیستی در کلاهک موشک قرار گرفته، کیفیت لازم برای پرواز فضایی را نداشتهباشد. ![\\"\\"](\\" کیفیت پایین اتصال با اینحال با وجود گذشت بیش از دو روز از زمان پرتاب، هنوز هیچ تصویری از نتیجه پرتاب منتشر نشده. سادهترین دلیل برای اثبات موفقیت این آزمایش این است که پس از فرود، به مایعات درون ویالها نگاه کنیم تا ببینیم آیا مقدار آنها به همان اندازه قبل از پرتاب است یانه. این نشان میدهد که در طول پرتاب، فشار و دمای داخل کپسول تغییر نکرده و کپسول موفقیت آمیز بودهاست. اما تاکنون نه وزارت دفاع (عامل پرتاب)، نه وزارت ارتباطات (سفارشدهنده کپسول) و نه وزارت علوم (سازنده کپسول) هیچ مدرکی منتشر نکردهاند که تایید کند آزمایش «کپسول زیستی کاووس» موفقیتآمیز بودهاست. پس تا آن زمان، این ادعا قابل رد یا تایید نیست. با این حال فرض کنیم در ساعات یا روزهای آینده، این موضوع با ارائه مدارک یا حداقل نمایش ویدیو یا تصاویری که تایید کننده ادعای مقامات جمهوری اسلامی باشد، همراه شود. در آن صورت آیا میتوان ادعا کرد «ایران جز شش کشوری است که فناوری کپسول زیستی را در اختیار دارد؟» فکتنامه پیش از این مفصلا ردهبندیها و رتبهبندیهایی که توسط مقامات جمهوری اسلامی ایران، درباره جایگاه فعالیتهای فضایی ایران گفته می شود را بررسی کردهاست. ## مقالههای مرتبط * ایران جزو ۱۰ کشور برتر دنیا در فناوری فضایی است؟ در گزارش فوق گفته شد که برخلاف بسیاری از حوزههای فعالیتهای اقتصادی و فناوری، بهخاطر گستردگی وسیع فناوریهای فضایی، نمیتوان یک شاخص خاص را انتخاب کرد و کشورها را براساس آن در فناوریهای فضایی ردهبندی کرد. فناوریهای فضایی حوزههای مختلفی را پوشش میدهند. با توجه به محدودیت بودجهها کشورها براساس الویتهای اقتصادی، اجتماعی و امنیتیشان در بخشی از این فعالیتها سرمایهگذاری میکنند یا فعالیتهای پرهزینه مانند پرتابگر، ارسال فضانورد یا ایستگاه فضایی را در همکاریهای بینالمللی پیش میبرند. برای مثال غیر از آمریکا، روسیه، چین و هند که چندین کپسول توسعه دادهاند کشورهای عضو آژانس فضایی اروپا: فرانسه ایتالیا، اتریش، بلژیک، چک، دانمارک، استونی، فنلاند، فرانسه، آلمان، یونان، مجارستان، ایرلند، ایتالیا، لوکزامبورگ، هلند، نروژ، لهستان، پرتغال، رومانی، اسپانیا، سوئد، سوئیس، انگلستان (و کشورهای همکار آژانس فضایی اروپا: لتونی، لیتوانی، استونی، کانادا) در یک همکاری مشترک در این زمینه فعال هستند. کشورهای عضو آژانس فضایی اروپا با همکاری هم، کپسول باری (با قابلیت حفظ مواد زیستی) ATV را ساختهاند و در حال توسعه کپسول Space Rider هستند. این روزها شرکتهای بخش خصوصی در زمینه ارسال محمولههای مختلف به فضا فعال هستند و کشورها یا شرکتهای گوناگون، برای اهداف مختلف خود، بهجای توسعه کپسول فضایی که بسیار گران است و ریسک بالایی هم دارد، به سراغ استفاده از کپسولهای این شرکتها میروند. اسپیس اکس (دراگون)، بلو اوریجین (نیو شپارد) و نورتروپ گرومن (سیگنوس)، هماکنون چند نوع کپسولهای باری و انسانی و زیستی را توسعه دادهاند. بنابراین کمتر کشوری دیگر تمایل برای سرمایهگذاری در زمینه توسعه مستقل کپسول زیستی یا فضاپیمای سرنشیندار را دارد. بنابراین حتی اگر مقامات دولت ایران بتوانند شواهدی ارائه کنند که نشان دهد آزمایش «کپسول زیستی کاووس» موفق بوده، باز هم ادعای وزیر ارتباطات درباره اینکه «ایران جز شش کشوری است که فناوری کپسول زیستی را در اختیار دارد» گمراهکننده است. ## جمعبندی عیسی زارعپور، وزیر ارتباطات و فناوری اطلاعات میگوید: ایران جز شش کشوری است که فناوری کپسول زیستی را در اختیار دارد. اشاره زارعپور به آزمایش پرتاب محموله زیستی است که به گزارش رسانههای ایران روز ۱۵ آذر ۱۴۰۲ با همکاری وزارت ارتباطات، وزارت دفاع و پژوهشکده هوا و فضا انجام شده است. محموله زیستی در کپسولی به نام کاووس قرار داده شده که در پژوهشکده هوا - فضا (زیرمجموعه وزارت علوم) ساخته شده و با موشک سازمان هوا-فضا (زیرمجموعه وزارت دفاع) به ارتفاع ۱۳۰ کیلومتری زمین پرتاب شده است.تا زمان انتشار این مطلب، به جز تصاویر لحظه پرتاب، سندی از موفقیتآمیز بودن آزمایش، مانند تصاویر ورود محموله به جو، باز شدن چترها، فرود کپسول روی زمین منتشر نشده. برای سنجش موفقیت آزمایش، باید تغییرات مایعات درون ویالها و مقایسه مقدار آنها با قبل از پرتاب بررسی شود تا ثابت شود فشار و دمای داخل کپسول در زمان پرتاب تغییر نکردهاست. قاعدتا تا زمانی که شواهد موفقیتآمیز بودن این آزمایش در دسترس عموم قرار نگیرد، نمیتوان آن را تایید یا رد کرد، اما با فرض موفقیتآمیز بودن آزمایش «کپسول زیستی کاووس» هم، باز ادعای وزیر ارتباطات درباره قرار گرفتن ایران در جمع شش کشور «گمراهکننده» است. اولین بار نیست که مقامهای جمهوری اسلامی از قرار گرفتن ایران جزو چند کشور اول پیشرو در علوم و فناوری فضایی صحبت میکنند. در حال

Why? Simply because the Indian law doesn’t permit it. The Quint Updated: 23 Jan 2019, 1:50 PM IST WebQoof 2 min read ![\\"story-hero- img\\"](\\" i Aa Aa Small Aa Medium Aa Large On 22 January, several media channels claimed that Congress President Rahul Gandhi was likely to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections from three seats – Nanded in Maharasthra, Chhindwara in Madhya Pradesh and his very own Amethi in Uttar Pradesh. The news was carried by channels like Times Now and Republic, garnering a lot of traction on social media. ![\\"Well,](\\"\\") ![\\"Well,](\\"\\") While news of the Gandhi scion mulling three constituencies is source-based, the question remains – can a candidate contest the Lok Sabha Polls from three constituencies? ADVERTISEMENTREMOVE AD We have seen candidates contest from two constituencies in the past – like PM Modi did in 2014 from both Varanasi and Vadodara – but three constituencies might be tad bit of a stretch. Why? Simply because the Indian law does not allow it. As pointed out by parliamentary affairs expert Meghnad on Twitter, Section 33(7) in the Representation of the People Act (RPA), 1951, permits a candidate to contest the general elections, or a group of bye-elections, from not more than two constituencies at a time. > The law says a person cannot contest from more than two constituencies. But > then, I\'m expecting too much of Times Now to actually think about the law > before reporting. Congress bashing + TRPs > Law of the Land. > > > — Meghnad (@Memeghnad) January 23, 2019 Several others also reiterated the provisions of Section 33(7) of RPA in response to Times Now and Republic’s stories. > Q 16. Can a person contest elections to Lok Sabha/Vidhan Sabha from as many > constituencies as he likes?Ans. NoAs per Section 33 (7) of R. P. Act, 1951, > a person cannot contest from more than two constituencies for a Lok > Sabha/Vidhan Sabha election. > > — Jeanette Rodrigues (@Darkwyr) July 27, 2018 > A candidate can contest only on 2 seats so there\'s no way Congress can be > mulling 3 seats for @RahulGandhi. Thoda control mey phaik liya karo. > #FakeNews > > — Aditya Menon (@AdityaMenon22) January 22, 2019 In fact, in April 2018, the Election Commission of India (ECI) also told the Supreme Court that should a candidate decide to contest from two seats simultaneously and win both seats, the expenditure for the bye-elections in the surrendered seat must be deposited to the government by the said candidate, reported Live Law. This is not the first time the ECI has taken such a stand on Section 33(7) of the RPA. In 2004, the ECI had submitted a set of 22 proposals on electoral reforms to the government, of which one referred to... > “... a restriction on number of seats from which one may contest and it was > proposed that the law be amended to provide that a person cannot contest > from more than one constituency at a time and if at all the existing law has > to be retained then there should be an express provision requiring a person > who contest and win the election from two seats resulting in a bye election > to deposit in the government account an appropriate amount of money being > the expenditure for holding the bye-election.” ECI (Not convinced of a story you came across on social media and want it verified?

The viral image that comes across like a notecard that has been used by the Ghana Health Service to update Ghanaians on the latest coronavirus case count in the country is Fake. The message has generated lots of buzz and panic on social media and is featuring in the top 20 trends on Twitter under the #FAKE. GhanaFact was first alerted to it by a Facebook user who was seeking clarification on the viral message. > ![\\"\\"](\\" > MATTER.jpeg\\") **_Fact-check_** The Ghana Health Service dedicated COVID-19 website which remains the most credible platform for official data on the country’s coronavirus spread states that Ghana has 566 confirmed cases as of April 13. Ghana’s Ministry of Information using it’s verified Facebook page has also called on Ghanaians to disregard the viral message. Further, the viral image claims the new 1,064 figure is the latest update as of “21:14:07 GMT +0200 (CEST.)” However, the image was all over even before 9 pm Monday evening. The Ghana Health Service latest update of its figures was at 10:11 pm on April 13 and the country’s total confirmed coronavirus cases is 566. **_Ghana’s case count_** According to the Ghana Health Service, a total of 37,954 persons have been tested with 566 being positive for COVID-19. The breakdown of the 566 positive cases are as follows: four (4) have been treated, discharged and tested negative, 552 cases have been categorized as mild disease on treatment, two (2) moderate to severe cases, none currently on ventilators and eight (8) have died. Of the 566 confirmed COVID-19 cases, 292 were reported from the routine surveillance, 159 from enhanced surveillance activities and 115 from travellers under mandatory quarantine in both Accra and Tamale. Ten out of sixteen regions in Ghana have reported cases of coronavirus and they include Greater Accra, Ashanti, Central, Eastern, Western, Volta, Northern, North East, Upper East, and Upper West. **_Conclusion_** The viral image claiming Ghana’s total confirmed cases of coronavirus is now 1,064 is FAKE. __Prev PreviousFALSE: 31 coronavirus patients recover in Ghana NextFact-check: Does Ghana have 307 ambulances with mobile ventilators?__Next ### Have a claim you want us to fact-check?

Health / 2. Coronavirus # Trafalgar Square “Freedom Rally” speech littered with false claims 19 August 2021 ##### What was claimed Mathematical modellers claimed tens of millions of people were going to die from Covid-19. ##### Our verdict Untrue. A report by Imperial College presented to the government suggested that 510,000 people in the UK could die if nothing was done in response to the disease. ##### What was claimed Up to 650,000 people die a year from the flu. ##### Our verdict This is the top-end estimate of a modelled global total which is still fewer than the number of people who died from Covid-19 last year. At least 3 million people across the world died of Covid-19 in 2020. ##### What was claimed The government knew Covid-19 was no more dangerous than flu before lockdown and flu and Covid-19 are the same thing ##### Our verdict This is based on a misunderstanding of the declassification of Covid-19 from a government list of high consequence infectious diseases. It does not mean Covid-19 is not dangerous. Covid-19 is not the same as flu. ##### What was claimed 12 to 13 million people will die through a combination of lockdown, flu and vaccine-driven pathogenic priming. ##### Our verdict There is no evidence this will happen. Even the largest figures do not put the potential health impacts or mortality rates attributable to lockdown or flu anywhere close to this figure. Pathogenic priming, also known as antibody- dependent enhancement, is a very rare condition and there is no evidence any of the Covid-19 vaccines cause it. ##### What was claimed Social distancing doesn’t work because air droplets can travel up to 25 feet. ##### Our verdict Evidence shows sneezing can propel air droplets up to 25 feet but infectivity significantly increases at distances less than two metres. ##### What was claimed Masks do more harm than good and they’re considered ineffective by surgeons. ##### Our verdict There are rare instances of harm caused by tight-fitting masks but not ordinary masks. While the efficacy of masks in surgery is debated there is some evidence of their benefit. ##### What was claimed Wearing masks causes dementia, hypoxia and hypercapnia, bacterial pneumonia, and will “make children stupid”. ##### Our verdict There is no evidence for any of these claims. Tight-fitting masks can cause harm in rare instances but this is not the case for typical cloth masks. ##### What was claimed The Covid-19 vaccines are experimental. ##### Our verdict This is not true. All of the Covid-19 vaccines have been approved for safety and effectiveness through clinical trials. ##### What was claimed Covid-19 vaccines have killed 18,928 people in the EU, more than 11,405 people in the US, 1,470 people in the UK and 5,522 people in Scotland. ##### Our verdict Half of these figures are incorrect and none of the reports they come from link the total number of reported deaths to vaccines. ##### What was claimed One of Nicola Sturgeon’s Covid advisors claimed Covid-19 vaccines were 100% safe for children. ##### Our verdict The advisor said the Pfizer vaccine was 100% effective in an interview. This was later corrected. ##### What was claimed There have been no tests to assess the safety of combining or overlapping Covid-19 and flu vaccines. ##### Our verdict There have been a number of studies. Research suggests they’re safe and effective. Further work into their combination is ongoing. __1 of 11 claims During an anti-lockdown event on 24 July, dubbed the “The Worldwide Rally For Freedom”, Vernon Coleman (who we have fact checked before, under his online pseudonym “Old Man In A Chair”) made a speech in Trafalgar Square where he made dozens of false and misleading claims. These incorrect claims include that up to 14 million people will die because of lockdown, wearing masks will “make children stupid” and that Covid-19 is no more dangerous than flu. Honesty in public debate matters You can help us take action – and get our regular free email Sign up ### Neil Fergurson and mathematical modellers did not say “tens of millions” of people would die from Covid-19 Early on in his speech, Mr Coleman accused mathematical modellers and former government advisor Professor Neil Ferguson of claiming “that we were all going to die, millions and tens of millions of people were going to die” because of Covid-19. There is no record of Neil Ferguson or other mathematical modellers saying this. This claim may be based on a report by Imperial College, published in March last year and co-authored by Professor Ferguson, which estimated that, if no action was taken, 510,000 people in the UK and 2.2 million in the US could die from the disease. It was not a prediction of how many people would die if actions like lockdowns were taken. As of 17 August, 4.37 million people globally have died of Covid-19. ### Between 290,000 and 650,000 people a year die from the flu globally, but this is still fewer than how many died from Covid last year During his speech, Mr Coleman said the flu “usually, and can, kill up to 650,000 people a year”. While the World Health Organization estimates that between 290,000 and 650,000 people globally suffer influenza-related respiratory deaths each year, it also estimates that at least 3 million were reported to have died from Covid-19 in 2020. Data from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) shows that between 1 January and 31 August 2020, long before the roll-out of any of the vaccines, the number of people in England and Wales who died where Covid was the underlying cause (48,168) was far greater than those where flu (394) or pneumonia (13,619) was the cause . According to think tank the Health Foundation, on average (in a bad flu year) around 30,000 people die from flu and pneumonia in the UK. It also points out that years of life lost from flu and pneumonia are around a sixth of those lost to people who died of Covid. On average, every person who died of Covid-19 lost around 10 years of life. We’ve written more about comparisons between the flu and Covid-19 before. ### Flu and Covid-19 are not the same and there is no evidence the government thought coronavirus was no more dangerous Mr Coleman also said the government knew that “Covid-19 is no more dangerous than the flu” before lockdowns were imposed. He says evidence of this still exists on government websites, which he has signposted to on his own website. But the link on Mr Coleman’s website takes you to Public Health England guidance on high consequence infectious diseases (HCID). This is a list of serious diseases which usually have high fatality rates and are difficult to recognise and detect rapidly. Covid-19 was added to this list in January but then declassified on 19 March as more data became available about mortality rates and a specific test for the illness was developed, meaning it no longer met the criteria for an HCID. Later that month lockdowns came into force. On his own website, Mr Coleman says this is proof that the government knew the disease was downgraded to “flu level” as a full lockdown was imposed. This appears to be what he is referring to in his speech. However this is not true. While Covid-19 does not have the same case fatality rate as diseases on the HCID, this does not mean it is not dangerous nor that it is the same as the flu. There is little to no evidence to support the claim the government considered Covid-19 was no worse than the flu. By 2 March scientists had warned ministers of the potential of 500,000 deaths in the UK. By 12 March, Boris Johnson had publicly stated: “Some people compare it to seasonal flu, alas that is not right. Due to the lack of immunity this disease is more dangerous.” Mr Coleman also claims that Covid-19 is “just the flu, rebranded. It\'s a well marketed version of the flu.” We’ve covered the misleading claim that Covid-19 is the same as the flu on a number of occasions. We have also recently reappraised this claim. It is difficult to make a direct comparison between Covid-19 and influenza because the full, global rollout of the Covid-19 vaccines has not yet been implemented, but the unique differences in fatality rates, symptomatic transmission rates and the long-term harms caused by each condition makes it misleading to say the two are alike. ### No evidence that 12 to 13 million people will die through combination of lockdown, flu and pathogenic priming. Mr Coleman also suggests the death rate in winter will be enormous, because “people have been locked down, because the flu is going to come back, because pathogenic priming is going to kill people who have the vaccine.” While the effects of the lockdown, such as the growing NHS waiting list, may influence otherwise preventable deaths, available estimates do not match the number of deaths Mr Coleman quotes and there appears to be little other evidence that any other effects of lockdown contribute meaningfully to such a high number of fatalities. As mentioned earlier, in a bad year flu on average kills around 30,000 people in England and Wales while the WHO estimates between 290,000 and 650,000 people globally suffer influenza-related respiratory deaths each year. There are some fears flu deaths could reach as high as 60,000 this winter but this nowhere nears the 12 to 13 million figure Mr Coleman quotes. The Department for Health and Social Care and the Office for National Statistics published a report last year that tried to estimate the impact of lives lost as a result of “lockdown-induced recession”. The report estimated that in the medium-term, the effects of a recession caused by lockdown could lead to 18,000 excess deaths every two to five years, predominantly due to cardiovascular disease. It also provides a “pessimistic” estimate of the impact of a 2-month lockdown, meaning it estimated what the most damaging outcome could be. Using this type of worst-case modelling the report suggested lockdown could cause up to 52,000 excess deaths. By contrast its most optimistic modelling suggested lockdown could lead to 800 fewer deaths, compared to life outside of it. However, there is no clear figure on the impact of lockdown on mortality and even the report warns that “All of these estimates are based on arbitrary, purely illustrative, assumptions... and therefore their reliability and robustness are considered to be very low.\" The paper goes into further detail about lockdown’s potential impact on excess deaths in social care and delays to medical care, which was covered in-part by some media outlets, but nowhere do these projections come close to the 12 to 13 million figure Mr Coleman quoted. As for pathogenic priming, this is another name given to antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE), a mechanism whereby antibodies, generated from a previous immune response, don’t stop you from getting ill again and instead exacerbate your immune response, worsening whatever disease you have. It is very rare and while there is some evidence of ADE-type reactions to the SARS and MERs vaccines (which are both types of coronavirus), there has been no evidence of ADE reactions to Covid-19 vaccines. ### Social distancing is effective even if air droplets can travel up to 25 feet Mr Coleman claims that social distancing “was always a joke because a cough or a sneeze can travel 25 feet.” Studies have shown that in some circumstances a sneeze can propel air droplets up to 26 feet and coughing 18 feet. However, other evidence suggests that while you are still susceptible to infection at more than two metres, a significantly greater number of infectious droplets are transmitted at distances shorter than that. While there is debate about whether two metres is still too close for social distancing to be totally effective, papers published by the government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) during the course of the pandemic stated the risk of close-range transmission of Covid-19 “grows exponentially as distance reduces below 2m”. ### Masks do far more good than harm and are effectively worn by surgeons in theatre In his speech, Mr Coleman both claims he knows of “100 scientific papers, proving conclusively that masks do more harm than good” and that “a lot of surgeons don\'t wear masks these days, because it\'s been proven that they don\'t do any good.” Although there are rare instances of harm involving some of the tightest masks, such as N95 or FFP2 masks, ordinary masks are not harmful. We have looked at similar claims many times before, as have other fact checking services. While there exists debate about the efficacy of masks used in surgery, there is at least some evidence available which show they do good. In a meta- analysis of 15 studies, researchers found they were effective in decreasing “biological loads in theatre environments”. Professor Neil Mortensen, president of the Royal College of Surgeons of England told Full Fact: “Wearing protective personal equipment (PPE) including face masks remains absolutely critical to protecting the health both of medical staff and their patients. “COVID-19 is an airborne virus, so masks are an important tool helping reduce transmission. If you enter a healthcare setting, then do please remember to wear a mask.” ### No evidence that masks cause dementia, hypoxia and hypercapnia, bacterial pneumonia, and will make children \"stupid” Mr Coleman goes on to make a series of more specific claims about the effects of masks including that they cause hypoxia, hypercapnia, bacterial pneumonia and will make people “demented in 10 years time”. He also alleges that “kids at school who wear masks will be the stupid kids in a few years time”. We have already debunked the claim that face masks cause hypoxia (a medical term for low levels of oxygen in the body), as have other fact checkers. The WHO has said that, while facemasks can be uncomfortable, surgical face masks do not lead to oxygen deficiency. We’ve also debunked the claim that masks cause hypercapnia, a condition that leads to an excess of CO2 in the bloodstream. A review of evidence on mask wearing, which investigated harm, showed that while some people who wore N95 masks had elevated carbon dioxide levels and reduced oxygen levels, the same was not the case with surgical masks or other types of masks. There is no evidence that mask wearing increases the risk of contracting bacterial pneumonia. There is also no evidence that wearing a face mask will cause dementia, although this claim has also been made by other conspiracy theorists. Researchers examining the links between air pollution and dementia even suggested the benefit face masks could have to neurological health where air quality is poor. ### The Covid-19 vaccines are not experimental At one point, Mr Coleman claims Covid-19 vaccines have been given “to 7 billion as a test”, suggesting the global vaccination programme is experimental. It’s not true that all vaccine recipients are taking part in a trial and we have dealt with this type of claim on a number of occasions. All of the Covid-19 vaccines authorised for use in the UK have been shown to be safe and effective in clinical trials. It’s normal that authorities continue to monitor the safety of these vaccines even after they have been approved. This monitoring happens with all vaccines, including those that have been in use for years, to detect any adverse effects. Just because studies into these vaccines are continuing, doesn’t mean anyone getting the vaccine in the nationwide roll-out is part of an experiment. ### Reports of deaths following vaccination are not proof that anyone has died from vaccines Mr Coleman suggests the death toll caused by Covid-19 vaccinations is 18,928 in the EU, 11,405 in the US and 1,470 in the UK. None of this is true. As of 14 July 2021, only 10 days before the Freedom Rally, around 5,200 deaths had been reported following vaccination among the four authorised Covid-19 vaccines across the EU. The European Medicines Agency says that “the fact that someone has had a medical issue or died after vaccination does not necessarily mean that the vaccine caused this.” According to the most recent data, the United States’ Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) received 6,340 reports of deaths following vaccination, far fewer than Mr Coleman’s quote. The CDC says it has not established a “causal link” between reported deaths and vaccines, although there are indications of such a relationship between the “J&J/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine and TTS, a rare and serious adverse event - blood clots with low platelets - which has caused deaths.” The claim for the UK is also untrue. It is based on around 1,500 reports sent to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) of a fatal outcome shortly following vaccination. However, the regulator says reviews of individual reports and patterns of reporting do not suggest the vaccines caused these deaths. Confusingly, despite quoting a much lower figure for the UK first, Mr Coleman later went on to say that 5,522 people had died from the vaccine in Scotland. This is based on figures from Public Health Scotland (PHS) which state 5,528 people had died within 28 days of being vaccinated, a statistic not recorded by the MHRA. However, once again, this figure does not show vaccinations led to death. It is just the number of people who died roughly within a month of having a vaccine. ### Nicola Sturgeon’s Covid advisor Devi Sridhar did claim the Pfizer vaccine was “100% safe for children” At one point, Mr Coleman refers to Devi Sridhar, a member of the Scottish government’s Covid-19 Advisory Group, and a segment recorded for children’s TV show Newsround about Covid vaccines. Mr Coleman said: “In the UK, the BBC gave airtime to a woman called Devi Sridhar… and Sridhar said on the BBC that the vaccine.... was 100% safe for children.” Professor Sridhar said on children’s TV show BBC Newsround that the Pfizer vaccine specifically was 100% safe for children. This was later amended on the Newsround site to state they had removed “a reference by a contributor that the Pfizer vaccine is \"100% safe\" The website also included a statement from the MHRA which said: \"We have carefully reviewed clinical trial data in children aged 12 to 15 years and have concluded that the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is safe and effective in this age group and that the benefits of this vaccine outweigh any risk.” Full Fact recently fact checked a misleading analysis of Ms Sridhar’s interview. ### There have been tests to assess the safety of combining or overlapping Covid-19 and flu jabs Mr Coleman also says that in the autumn a Covid-19 jab and a flu jab will be offered at the same time. He then goes on to claim: “Guess how many people have been tested having two jobs at the same time? If your guess is naught, then you\'re right.” Researchers have been assessing the use of Covid and flu vaccines at the same time, but it is not true that there has been no analysis of the interactions between the two vaccines. Other research suggests that combining Covid and flu vaccines are safe and effective although other studies are ongoing.
