Fact Checking Covid

[Wandering Monk]

There is so much nonsense out there related to Covid.

Before promulgating this stuff, why not take some time to fact check it.

There are several sites out there to do this.

Here are a couple to start. If you find some others, please post a link.

How do you know the people running these sites have the facts? Maybe they are trying to sell something or just have fake news like the politicians.

A lot of them are. Fact-checking is just a joke now.

That is why I asked people to add to the list.

Fact checks are just a starting point. If they contain links to studies, go to the studies and read them.

It's only a joke to those who have barricaded their minds against learning facts.

Why on gods green earth should I ever take anyones word for it?

Fact-checking is really a ploy developed for the intellectually lazy.

It's a lot like Bible mentality. If it says it, I believe it, that settles it*.

At least those, as @Wandering Monk mentioned, those with sourcing will have a modicum of credibility, contingent of course, where the source itself comes from.
