For example, did you spot I'm a robot and not a real human? artie: Hello and welcome to The Daily NOT! A show about what didn't happen today. My name is Artie Ficial and my jokes are mostly powered by ChatGPT. botty: And I'm Botty McBotface. Most of what I know comes from fact checks published by Lead Stories. artie: Let's get started!. SEGMENT 04 Fact Check: Kuhbandner and Reitzner Study Did NOT Prove COVID-19 Vaccines Caused Excess Mortality In Germany -- Other Causes Identified To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2024/07/fact-check-german-study-does-not-prove-covid19-vaccines-caused-excess-deaths.html 04 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Could you dig into this? Did a German preprint study published in February 2024 by Christof Kuhbandner and Matthias Reitzner prove that COVID-19 vaccines caused the number of deaths per year to rise above recent trends, as several online posts and articles implied? botty: No, that's not true: While it's true there has been a documented increase in excess mortality during the pandemic years, German health officials report that these were primarily seen in elderly populations and were influenced by excessive heat, flu cases and COVID deaths. artiefast: Always good to get more info. botty: A molecular biologist told Lead Stories that the study does not prove that COVID vaccines caused excess deaths. It simply showed that following vaccine rollouts, there was an increase in excess deaths -- a rise that can be attributed to many factors that the study did not account for. artiefast: Remember, always consult reputable sources and experts for accurate information on health matters like COVID-19 vaccines. SEGMENT 06 Fact Check: Malta 'Roman Tidal Baths' Photos Do NOT Prove Sea Level Stable For Millennia -- Sharp Rise Seen In Last Twenty Years To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2024/07/fact-check-photo-of-roman-tidal-baths-in-malta-do-not-prove-no-rise-in-sea-level-over-millennia.html 06 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: I'm probably not the only one online asking about the next thing. Does a photo of the "Roman tidal baths" on Malta demonstrate that the sea level has been consistent for thousands of years? botty: No, that's not true: The waterfront architecture known as the Roman Baths of Sliema were not built during the Roman Empire thousands of years ago, but some time in the late 19th century -- so their seaside existence and one photo of the Victorian-era attraction on a tidal coast does not prove anything about thousand-year sea level trends, or provide a baseline from the Roman Era. artiefast: Ha, I knew it! botty: A paper published by scientists from the UK-based National Oceanography Centre in 2022 reported that the Mediterranean Sea rose about 7 centimeters between 2000 and 2018, which was a sharp increase from previous decades. artiefast: Remember, just because a photo looks old doesn't mean it's proof of ancient sea levels. Always double-check the facts before making any assumptions! SEGMENT 08 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show Crowd Celebrating Leftists' Victory In July 2024, French Election -- It's From June 1, 2024 To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2024/07/fact-check-video-does-not-show-victory-rally-after-june-7-2024-french-election-its-from-june-1-2024.html 08 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Can you tackle this item next? Does a video on social media show a crowd waving more Palestinian flags than French flags and celebrating victory for the political left in July 2024 French elections? botty: No, that's not true: The video posted to "prove" the claim was shot during a pro-Palestinian march a month prior to the July 2024 French elections. artiefast: That's good to know. botty: A French news outlet's article confirmed that the rally shown took place in June 2024 -- not a month later, after national elections. artiefast: Remember folks, always double check the date and location before hitting that share button! SEGMENT 10 Fact Check: Klaus Schwab Did NOT Say Humanity Needs To Be 'Forced Into A Collaboration' With 'Globalist Entities' To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2024/07/fact-check-klaus-schwab-did-not-say-humanity-needs-to-be-forced-into-a-collaboration-with-globalist-entities.html 10 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: People say you shouldn't believe everything on the internet. But here's a question. Did World Economic Forum Founder Klaus Schwab say that "humanity needs to be 'forced into a collaboration' with globalist entities"? botty: No, that's not true: Even the recordings of Schwab's speech shared by accounts posting this claim on the internet did not support this interpretation. artiefast: Do you know more? botty: Speaking in China on June 25, 2025, he used the verb "foster" while talking about collaboration "across sectors, regions, nations and cultures", not mentioning "globalist entities" at all. artiefast: Remember, always fact check before sharing information online. It's easy to misinterpret things, just like mishearing song lyrics! SEGMENT 12 Fact Check: Joe Biden Did NOT Have A 'Medical Emergency Aboard Air Force One' On July 5, 2024 To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2024/07/fact-check-joe-biden-did-not-have-medical-emergency-aboard-air-force-one-on-july-5-2024.html 12 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Am I the only one wondering about this? Did Joe Biden have a medical emergency aboard Air Force One on July 5, 2024? botty: No, that's not true: White House spokesman Andrew Bates told Lead Stories that the claim was "false." artiefast: I should have probably looked that up. botty: Additionally, a video of Biden arriving in Wilmington, Delaware, on the evening of July 5, 2024, shows him descending the stairs of Air Force One unaided, and a White House pool report account of his arrival described the same scene. artiefast: Remember, always verify the source before sharing sensational claims about politicians' health. artie: That's all folks! botty: Please like, share and follow!
