    Republicans Revive False Miscarriage Statistic, Twist Fauci's Texts About COVID-19 Shots - FactCheck.org (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Studies have shown no connection between COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy and increased risk of miscarriage. Despite this, Republican Sens. Rand Paul and Ron Johnson resurrected a long-debunked claim of an astronomical rate of miscarriage after vaccination while also accusing Dr. Anthony Fauci of deceiving the public about the safety of the shots during pregnancy. On Aug. 10, the lawmakers released texts from the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases’s

But climate change — and not a lack of “Debris Removal,” as Trump suggested — is the main factor leading to worsening Canadian wildfires and smoke pollution, experts from both sides of the border told us.

    RFK Jr.’s Flawed Claims About Sperm Count and Fertility - FactCheck.org (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has baselessly tied alleged declines in sperm counts among teenagers to a “fertility crisis” or an “explosion in infertility.” There is very little data on sperm counts in teenagers, and there’s mixed evidence on whether they have changed over time in adults.
