schema:articleBody	AFP's fact-check service debunks misinformation spread online. Here are some of our recent fact-checks: Social media platforms scrambled to remove a slickly-edited, 26-minute video featuring a discredited researcher that was widely shared in the US. The video, titled "Plandemic", made several false claims including that face masks cause harm, vaccines have killed millions and that hospitals are incentivised to report COVID-19 diagnoses. Experts told AFP that the video's claims range from obvious falsehoods to outright lies. Multiple Facebook, Twitter and Instagram posts were shared hundreds of times in Thailand which claimed wearing face masks for an extended period of time could cause hypercapnia -- a buildup of carbon dioxide in the blood. Health experts, however, maintain that there is no evidence that wearing a mask for a long period can cause harm. Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo claimed in a speech this week that Ghana had administered more COVID-19 tests per million people than any other country in Africa. The claim, however, is false. Publically available statistics show that Ghana comes behind Mauritius, Djibouti and South Africa. Multiple Facebook and Twitter posts shared hundreds of times claimed the antiviral medicine remdesivir was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a treatment for COVID-19. The claim is misleading. The FDA has only authorised the emergency use of remdesivir as an experimental drug to treat COVID-19 patients in hospitals. "Remdesivir is investigational because it is still being studied," the agency said. A video was viewed thousands of times in multiple posts on Facebook alongside a claim it shows people who had contracted coronavirus in India. The claim is false. The video shows victims of a major gas leak in an industrial port city in south India in May 2020. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. afp
