BIDEN’S MISLEADING CLAIMS ABOUT THE ECONOMIC RECOVERY AND UNEMPLOYMENT

September 23, 2022

When President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan into law in March 2021,
U.S. gross domestic product had increased for three quarters straight, and the
unemployment rate had decreased nearly nine percentage points from its pandemic
peak. But Biden wrongly credited the Democratic COVID-19 relief bill with
rescuing a U.S. economy “in decline.”


GOP ADS USE OUTDATED FEDERAL REPORT TO ATTACK DEMOCRATS ON ‘HIGHER TAXES’

September 23, 2022

Republican super PACs are using an outdated Congressional Budget Office estimate
to falsely claim in TV ads that Democrats voted to raise taxes by $20 billion on
“lower- and middle-income families.”


JOHNSON’S FALSE CLAIM ABOUT BARNES’ TAX PLAN

September 22, 2022

Like many Democrats, Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes says he wants to cut
“middle-class” taxes and make sure the wealthy “pay their fair share.” But an ad
from his opponent, Sen. Ron Johnson, in the race for U.S. Senate falsely tells
the state’s voters that Barnes wants to “double your income taxes.”


NRSC’S MISLEADING ATTACK ON WARNOCK

September 22, 2022

An ad from the National Republican Senatorial Committee makes two misleading
claims about votes cast by Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia.


IS THE PANDEMIC ‘OVER’? BIDEN SAYS SO, BUT SCIENTISTS SAY THAT’S UP FOR DEBATE

September 20, 2022

In a surprise moment in a “60 Minutes” interview, President Joe Biden said the
COVID-19 pandemic “is over.” While he correctly acknowledged that the
coronavirus was still a problem, epidemiologists say there’s no single
agreed-upon definition for what constitutes the end of a pandemic — and some say
we’re not there yet.


REPUBLICAN TALKING POINT OMITS KEY DETAILS ABOUT STIMULUS PAYMENTS TO INMATES

September 19, 2022

Some congressional Democrats voted for COVID-19 relief bills that resulted in
stimulus checks being sent to inmates — but so did some congressional
Republicans.


GOP AD MISCHARACTERIZES MICHIGAN CANDIDATE’S RESPONSE TO 2020 PROTESTS

September 19, 2022

A day after a protest in Grand Rapids inspired by the murder of George Floyd
turned violent, Democratic House candidate Hillary Scholten of Michigan pleaded
for “peaceful” protests and urged demonstrators “to not resort to violence and
destruction.” An ad from a Republican PAC falsely claims Scholten “dismissed the
destruction.”


VIRAL POSTS SPIN FALSEHOOD OUT OF DENMARK’S COVID-19 BOOSTER DRIVE

September 16, 2022

Denmark announced a plan for its fall COVID-19 vaccination drive, saying it will
offer omicron-specific booster shots to high-risk individuals, including
everyone 50 and over. But U.S.-based misinformation peddlers misleadingly
suggest that means the shots are unsafe for those under 50. The Danish Health
Authority said that is a misinterpretation.


CLINICAL TRIALS SHOW IVERMECTIN DOES NOT BENEFIT COVID-19 PATIENTS, CONTRARY
TO SOCIAL MEDIA CLAIMS

September 15, 2022

Randomized clinical trials have repeatedly found that ivermectin does not
benefit COVID-19 patients. The National Institutes of Health recommends against
its use for COVID-19. Ivermectin enthusiasts continue to falsely claim the
contrary.


HERSCHEL WALKER CITES OUTDATED CRIME FIGURES IN FALSE ATTACK ON RAPHAEL WARNOCK

September 14, 2022

Since Democrat Raphael Warnock of Georgia has been in the U.S. Senate, homicides
and rapes in Atlanta have not increased by nearly as much as Republican Herschel
Walker said in a Fox News interview.

Ask SciCheck

Q. Are vaccinated and boosted people more susceptible to infection or disease
with the omicron variant than unvaccinated people?

A. No. Getting vaccinated increases your protection against COVID-19. Sometimes,
certain raw data can suggest otherwise, but that information cannot be used to
determine how well a vaccine works.
