Did Delta Force arrest Matthew Graves, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, for treason on January 18, 2024, in Breckenridge, Colorado? botty: No, that's not true: The website reporting this false claim of Graves' arrest is notorious for publishing fabricated stories and features a disclaimer that states it publishes "humor, parody, and satire" content. artiefast: Who knew? botty: No verifiable documentation is supplied in support of the yarn and no credible, accountable public reporting of the claim could be found to corroborate it. artiefast: Remember, always verify the source before sharing news. In this case, it's just another case of fabricated content from a satire website.

No placebos in those Pfizer-BioNTech batches, folks. Keep calm and vaccinate on!"

Is "divoc," which is "covid" spelled backwards, a Hebrew word that means "possession by an evil spirit"? botty: No, that's not true: "Divoc" is not Hebrew, two experts told Lead Stories. artiefast: How about that? Got more details? botty: There is a word in Hebrew that connotes an evil spirit that can possess people but that word is "dybbuk" -- which is not "covid" spelled backwards. artiefast: "Looks like someone got their Hebrew and their spelling mixed up. Remember folks, always fact check before spreading linguistic confusion!"
