VERDICT
No evidence that the low COVID-19 case rate in Sweden is due to herd immunity; vaccines don’t lead to new variants of SARS-CoV-2

VERDICT
COVID-19 treatments can improve a patient’s survival and recovery, but don’t replace the individual and community benefits of vaccination
CLAIM
“Now the vaccines are no longer working“; “the vaccine never stopped transmission“; “earlier-vaccinated people experience a complete waning of the injection-induced antibodies”; antibody therapy, “the one option that works”, is blocked by the government

VERDICT
Misinterpreted New York Times report leads to false claim that the number of COVID-19 cases in the U.S. is inflated by up to 90%
