If you want to know how truthful and accurate a given fact-checker is, check its funding. From Anthony Colpo at anthonycolpo.substack.com:
The long-term, placebo-controlled studies showing childhood vaccines are safe and effective? Sorry PolitiFact, but they don’t exist.
Globalist puppets, you gotta love ‘em.
On January 2, ‘fact check’ outfit PolitiFact posted an article titled “Yes, there have been placebo-controlled studies on childhood vaccines.”
The article attacks Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., who during a November 2024 podcast stated “There’s never been a placebo-controlled study on childhood vaccines. Not one.”
When he made his original statement, Johnson was close to the truth, but omitted a key adjective that would have made it 100% correct:
“Long-term.”
However, Johnson redeemed himself when PolitiFact asked for evidence of his claim. A spokesperson for Johnson shared a chart from vaccine-skeptical group Informed Consent Action Network showing 17 vaccines they maintain were not licensed by the FDA “based on a long-term placebo-controlled trial,” including vaccines for whooping cough, measles/mumps/rubella, HPV, COVID-19, and influenza.
Johnson had now corrected himself, and was on scientifically solid ground.
PolitiFact, of course, doesn’t give a rat’s rectum about the truth. It ignores Johnson’s important follow-up qualification stipulating long-term studies, and instead disingenuously focuses on his original statement.
“Medical experts say he’s wrong on that,” declares Heim.
Ah, yes, The Experts™. That overpaid pack of government clowns and corporate shills who have gotten everything wrong over the last 5 years.
PolitiFact’s Rampant Conflict of Interest and Complete Lack of Ethics
Before I decimate PolitiFact’s attempt to prop up the voodoo class of drugs known as vaccines, it behooves me to expose PolitiFact itself and the so-called ‘experts’ it cites.
