Murders in the United States have soared by 34% over the past few years. Yet, certain Democratic politicians and media outlets are downplaying this problem.

Contrary to predictions that Covid vaccines could reverse the carnage of 2020, U.S. life expectancy fell again in 2021. Using blatantly false claims, the New York Times tries to pin the blame on white people refusing to vaccinate and mask.

In reality, electric cars emit substantial amounts of pollutants and may be more harmful to the environment than conventional cars.

The Inflation Reduction Act will do almost none of what Manchin claims it will—and often the exact opposite.

While some believe the U.S. government can spend and borrow with abandon because it can print money, one of the most established laws of economics is that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

The CDC knowingly pushed false information about the COVID-19 being transmittable by air.

In short, the strongest available evidence shows no indication that the mRNA Covid vaccines save more lives than they take. However, the benefits and risks of the vaccines can vary greatly for each individual.

Some of the most powerful proponents of masking continue to spread destructive fictions and withhold genuine facts from people.

In a PolitiFact article titled “Why the Covid-19 Survival Rate Is Not Over 99%,” staff writer Jason Asenso argues that about 1.7% of U.S. residents who contract Covid-19 die from it. However, he uses a naive approach to calculate this figure, and legitimate methods show that the average Covid-19 survival rate is firmly over 99%.

Medical journals have documented the deadly harms of exaggerating the fatality rate of Covid-19. Nevertheless, Facebook is amplifying PolitiFact’s false claim by using it to censor genuine facts about this issue.

COVID-19 vaccines have a troubling track record of efficacy, and can even lead to adverse side effects. The primary clinical trial conducted by Pfizer even illustrates that there is little discernible difference in risk of death between those who are vaccinated and those who are not.

Unsurprisingly, the use of face masks for COVID-19 mitigation has little basis in scientific evidence, and can cause a host of deleterious health problems.

The survey, commissioned by Just Facts, reveals that the vast bulk of voters have embraced false and harmful dogmas that accord with their political views.

The estimated tradeoffs for this meager increase in income is the destruction of 1.4 million jobs, a slight decline in the overall economy, increased inflation, more government debt, and greater burdens on taxpayers.
