Media Bias Fact Check selects and publishes fact checks from around the world. We only utilize fact-checkers that are either a signatory of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) or have been verified as credible by MBFC. Further, we review each fact check for accuracy before publishing. We fact-check the fact-checkers and let you know their bias. When appropriate, we explain the rating and/or offer our own rating if we disagree with the fact-checker. (D. Van Zandt)

| FALSE | Claim by Megyn Kelly: “New police bodycam footage” of George Floyd’s arrest “changes the narrative”
Politifact rating: False (It doesn’t change anything. This body camera footage has been publicly available since August 2020, two months after George Floyd’s death. The footage was shown to the jury during former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin’s trial in March 2021. The jury found Chauvin guilty of second-degree murder. The officer, whose body camera footage Kelly showed, pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter in May 2022.) This video from George Floyd’s death isn’t new, as Megyn Kelly said in a Facebook post |
| NO EVIDENCE |
Claim via Social media: Posts suggest an increase in infant mortality from 2021 to 2022 is linked to the COVID-19 vaccines.
FactCheck.org rating: No Evidence No Evidence of Link Between U.S. Infant Mortality Rate Increase and COVID-19 Vaccines |
| BLATANT LIE |
Claim by Gynecologist Nathan Riley: Vaccines, MTHFR mutation, and glyphosate lead to autism in children with brain injury
Health Feedback rating: Incorrect (Multiple published studies have found no association between childhood vaccines and autism. Vaccines aren’t toxic; ingredients in vaccines are safe at the levels they are used. There’s little to no evidence at the moment indicating that glyphosate increases the likelihood of autism in children. No evidence is presented to support the speculation that a combination of vaccines, MTHFR mutation, and glyphosate increases the risk of autism in children.) |
| FALSE | (International: United Kingdom): Claim by Labour MP: 7.8 million people are on NHS waiting lists.
PA Media rating: False (NHS England figures, published on November 9, show an estimated 6.5 million unique patients were waiting for treatment in September, with some people waiting for multiple treatments.) 6.5 million people are on NHS waiting lists, official estimates show |
