Does the listing of "Pneumonia mycoplasma" in Pfizer's guidance on adverse event reports associated with its COVID-19 vaccine prove that the shot caused a respiratory outbreak in China? botty: No, that's not true: It's a fundamental misreading of standard vaccine documents, which direct doctors to rapidly report any problems from a long list as a precaution. artiefast: Tell me more, Botty. botty: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, along with the Food and Drug Administration, said its safety monitoring systems "have not established a causal relationship between mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) and pneumonia." Adverse events are reported for safety checks, and just because they're listed doesn't automatically mean the vaccine has caused them. artiefast: "Remember, folks, just because something is listed doesn't mean it's the cause. Let's keep our fact-checking skills sharp!"

Was Taylor Swift photographed wearing a hat made of pieced-together preserved faces skinned from real human beings? botty: No, that's not true on two points: The model in the photo is not pop star Swift but the special effects artist who partnered in making the hat, Kayla Arena. artiefast: I did not see that coming. botty: And the hat is made from latex, silicone, crepe hair and synthetic eyelashes -- not human body parts. artiefast: "Looks like Taylor Swift's fashion choices are more 'eye-catching' than 'face-catching' after all!"

How about you Botty?

Were reports that talk about a supposed imminent "EMP Threat" or "Blackout Warfare" against the U.S. "leaked" from the Department of Homeland Security, and were these documents "classified" in any way? botty: No, that's not true: The reports that are sometimes used on social media to promote a documentary by Teddy Daniels are publicly available and easily accessible on the internet. artiefast: Interesting! Please continue. botty: They're not secret or classified nor are they government reports. They were published by a self-described nonprofit organization that does not receive government funding and is not part of the Department of Homeland Security. artiefast: Remember, folks, before you hit that share button, make sure to do your research and verify the source.
