The fact that Fauci used a bio weapon to kill millions around the globe is a huge crime. Your vaccine did nothing but spread the disease faster... who gives a shit about the rest. People did not need to suffer because of the mad scientist Dr. Fauci and even Harris would have  had to arrest him.

The claim that COVID-19 vaccines are ineffective is not true and misleadsabout the performance facts of how well they workedAt the start, when they were first rolled outtheir performance was extremely good at stopping symptomatic infection as well as severe disease like hospitalization and death. They gradually lost effectiveness at preventing infection over time as the virus evolved—especially with the Omicron strains. This is a common pattern with vaccines meeting rapidly mutating viruses. But they still give strong protection against serious disease and death, which remains the primary goal of vaccination. Public health authorities have also made a corresponding change in their recommendationstressing the need for booster doses and new vaccines to continue to shieldaccording to current FDA policy.

I find it strange why you would say this post is "Cant be true of false" when at the start of your answer you say his claim is not true and misleading. Its very clear that stating Fauci created a weapon that killed millions is simply false, nothing about this is opinion, the guy is just wrong. Aside from that you provide a fair explanation of the problem at hand.

The contention that COVID-19 vaccines do not work is not accurate and misrepresents the performance reality of how well they worked. Initially, when they were first being dispensed, their performance was excellent at preventing symptomatic infection and also severe disease like hospitalization and death. They lost performance in preventing infection over time as the virus mutated, especially with the Omicron variants. This is a common pattern with vaccines facing rapidly evolving viruses. They still offer strong protection against serious illness and death, which remains the top priority of vaccination.

The post this statement is from is a social media post on the platform Blue Sky. The user that made this claim has not cited any information or resources. The profile appears to be entirely individual, showing no claim to any organization or group. Upon further research, there is no reliable source that shows in any way that Dr. Fauci did anything to kill millions, or that the vaccine increased the spread of Covid 19.

After reading over this claim and fact-checking it this claim against COVID-19 vaccines being a mass murdering vaccine is misleading and over exaggerated. The person who wrote this claim uses the account username is classicbryguy.bsky.social, when looking at his page it is very political drawn. Meaning that this person made this claim using false resources and just made this claim under his own political views. My source that I looked over was from Congress.gov this claims that death after getting the vaccine is rare. There are rare cases of vital symptoms after receiving the COVID-19 shot. There are claims against this around 8000 claims but there is no proof that this was caused by the vaccine. This vaccine is meant to help people from getting COVID-19 which could lead to them dying. The public health makes sure that they emphasize that it is crucial to get that vaccine and the booster. They will always keep updating the vaccine to make sure new strains don't cause worse damage.

Nice job pointing out the bias in the original claim and using Congress.gov as a credible source. One suggestion: Clarify that the 8,000 reports aren’t confirmed vaccine-related deaths, just claims. That would make your fact-checking even stronger. Good work overall!

The original source of this claim is from the social media company "BlueSky" and the user @classicbryguy.bsky.social is just a person posting political bias/opinionated content. After doing even further research, the claim seems to be wrong, as there is no background information anywhere that states Fauci is creating these said bioweapon. There is no hard evidence whatsoever.

Good job calling out the lack of credibility from the original source. You could strengthen your point by mentioning a credible source—like the CDC or WHO—that directly contradicts the bioweapon claim. Saying there's "no hard evidence" is valid, but backing it up with a source would make your argument even stronger. Nice work being skeptical and thorough

The source comes from a bsky.app website. Which is a social media website or app that looks to act like Twitter. The post looks like it came from a random user. It was not an official or verified account. So this claim was most likely made by a person with no previous qualifications or knowledge to make this reliable. There are also no sources in the original post. There are also no reputable sources that back up this claim when looked up. I included a link from the National Library of Medicine that discusses pandemic origins and bioweapons.

The above information originates from a personal political account, "classicbryguy.bsky.social," on the BlueSky platform. As the account lacks an established reputation and features strong language and unverified claims—such as referring to an approved vaccine as a bioweapon—it is reasonable to approach its content skeptically. After reviewing multiple credible sources, there is no evidence supporting this claim. In contrast, an article published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which includes input from numerous scientists and experts, outlines how the COVID-19 vaccine has strengthened the immune system and significantly reduced mortality rates. This is supported by graphs and data compiled by trusted professionals in the field.

The claims that Dr. Anthony Fauci created a bioweapon and that COVID-19 vaccines spread the disease are false and are caused in misinformation. This claim was spread through a social media account and is not represented by evidence. There is scientific evidence that points to a zoonotic spillover to have caused an increased spread to the population. In this article https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10358177/#:~:text=A%20specific%20instance%20of%20spillover%20that%20occurs%20when%20a%20previously,and%20then%20back%20into%20humans. This definition supports the idea that COVID-19 likely started with a zoonotic spillover from animals to humans. It explains a scenario where, after the initial jump to people, the virus could then infect new animals due to our interactions with them. These infected animals could then transmit the virus back to other people, including those who hadn't had it before or even those who were previously exposed. This shows how our connections with animals could have played a role in the virus's continued spread and potential evolution after the first animal to human jump. However, this understanding of zoonotic spillover doesn't support the unfounded claim that Dr. Fauci created a bioweapon.

The source used to back up this claim comes from an individual account on a social media platform. After looking into it further the account seems to be a personal account and there are no official sites such as hospitals or news sites to back up the claim that Dr Fauci is creating bio weapons. This claim appears to be created by the individual who posted this. The language used in this post also seems to be more opinionated and u professional than that of a credible source.

To begin with, the claim that COVID-19 is a bio weapon to kill millions is false. In an article written by ABC News, it states, "He has an open mind about the origins of COVID-19, but insists it was 'not engineered as a bio weapon' by China or anybody else"(Dasey). This statement alone shows that even Dr.Fauci knows that COVID-19 was not a bio weapon and proves this claim false.
