Did U.S. Special Forces "rescue" military and civilian "J6ers" from a "deep state" prison in the Aleutian Islands on April 7, 2024? botty: No, that's not true: This claim appears on a website that regularly publishes fabricated content. artiefast: More people should know that. botty: Also, no credible reports have been published that substantiate this claim, and there is no proof such a prison exists. artiefast: Remember folks, always fact-check before sharing sensational stories.

Did 46 of 50 states recount their votes from the 2020 election and confirm that Joe Biden lost the vote in their state? botty: No, that's not true: There were four states that conducted recounts or had legal challenges of the 2020 presidential election results, and none overturned the results that Biden won the presidential election against Donald Trump in 2020. artiefast: You're so good at research! botty: There is no evidence that 46 states conducted recounts of the 2020 presidential election results and found that Trump beat Biden. artiefast: Remember folks, always fact check before spreading misinformation.

Does a drink recipe mixing carrots, vinegar and baking soda, along with orange and lime juice, restore eyesight within a week? botty: No, that's not true: The claim is not supported by scientific evidence. While carrots contain vitamin A, important for eye health, and citrus fruits like oranges and limes provide vitamin C, there's no credible research demonstrating that this combination can rapidly improve eyesight. artiefast: More information always helps. botty: An ophthalmologist told Lead Stories that unless you're one of the rare people in the developed world who has a vitamin A deficiency, the mixture is unlikely to help your vision at all. artiefast: Remember folks, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! Stick to getting your eyes checked by a professional.
