  • AFP's fact-check service debunks misinformation spread online. Here are some of our recent articles about inaccurate claims in the United States: Social media posts cite a February 2020 email in which Dr Anthony Fauci advised against mask use as evidence that face coverings do not prevent the spread of Covid-19. But the email from the top US infectious disease specialist reflected the consensus among health authorities early in the Covid-19 emergency, before it was determined that widespread mask use helps curb transmission of the disease. Online articles claim the US military arrested former White House coronavirus response coordinator Deborah Birx for lying to the American public about the efficacy of face masks during the pandemic. This is false; the Department of Defense says it has no knowledge of Birx's arrest, and that the military does not have the authority to detain her. Social media posts claim that remaining US mask requirements exist to protect vaccinated people from those who have not been immunized against Covid-19. This is false; experts say that the reverse is true -- masking is primarily intended to protect those who have not been inoculated. Social media posts claim research by medical journal The Lancet shows that Covid-19 vaccines offer little to no protection. But the posts misrepresent one measure of vaccine efficacy referred to in an article as evidence that the inoculations are ineffective, and its authors say the shots work. 1. 2. 3. 4. afp
