Does a government health poster list "heart attacks," "strokes" and "sudden death" as side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine, as shown in an Instagram post? botty: No, that's not true: It is counterfeit. artiefast: Good thing I asked. botty: Though it was made to look like official Irish government health circulars, the Irish government never published a poster listing those as side effects. Additionally, there is no credible evidence to support the assertion that any of these three conditions are side effects of COVID-19 vaccines. artiefast: "Remember folks, always fact-check before sharing! Don't fall for counterfeit claims, especially when it comes to your health."

Remember folks, always double-check before sharing!"

Does a social media post showing a group of maps with overlapping hotspots prove a connection between 5G coverage and the spread of COVID-19? botty: No, that's not true: A similar data distribution of 5G coverage and high numbers of COVID-19 cases on maps does not prove a connection between 5G signals and the viral pandemic. artiefast: Is that so? botty: There is no peer-reviewed scientific evidence that 5G causes people to catch COVID-19. It has been established that the disease develops from a novel coronavirus. artiefast: "Remember folks, just because maps overlap, doesn't mean there's a conspiracy brewing. Let's stick to the facts and leave the fiction for Hollywood."

Did the Denver Police Department arrest "over 50 Al-Qaeda members in the last two months"? botty: No, that's not true: The Denver Police Department has refuted that claim. artiefast: Some people will be happy to hear that. botty: Lead Stories did not find any credible evidence for this claim in a search of online news indexes, either. artiefast: "Looks like someone's been watching too many action movies. Remember folks, always fact-check before sharing sensational news!"

Did Donald Trump's lawyer Alina Habba say that U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan took a $5 million bribe to convict Trump? botty: No, that's not true: There is no proof that Habba ever accused Kaplan of taking a bribe to convict the former president. artiefast: I see you have more on your notepad? botty: Kaplan did not "convict Trump" in the case in question -- a jury decided in January 2024 that Trump should pay writer E. Jean Carroll $83 million in damages for making defamatory statements. artiefast: "Remember folks, before spreading rumors, make sure to fact-check and get the details straight. It's important to verify the facts before jumping to conclusions."

Does a viral video capture a convoy of truckers traveling to the southern border in 2024 to support Texas Governor Greg Abbott's stance on immigration? botty: No, that's not true: The footage was posted online two years earlier. artiefast: Is that so? botty: It captured truckers heading to Washington, D.C., not Texas. artiefast: "Looks like these truckers took a detour on their way to Texas! Remember folks, always double-check the date and location before hitting the share button."

Did U.S. Navy Seal "white hats" kill two intruders at Donald Trump's Mar-A-Lago estate on January 27, 2024? botty: No, that's not true: This claim originated from a website that regularly publishes fabricated content. artiefast: So there was more to it. botty: A Palm Beach Police Department representative told Lead Stories that there is "no record" of any such incident occurring at the Mar-A-Lago estate. artiefast: "Looks like someone's been diving into a pool of fake news.
