schema:articleBody	AFP's fact-check service debunks misinformation spread online. Here are some of our recent fact-checks: Social media posts claim that US gas prices are at their highest since Barack Obama's administration, blaming President Joe Biden for the uptick. This is misleading. While prices at the pump have risen since January 2021, experts attribute this to a gradual recovery from very low crude oil costs during the downturn caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Experts also note that prices are now increasing because of an anticipated rebound in demand. A video circulated on Facebook in Indonesia claimed coronavirus breathalyser tests can provide a Covid-19 result within 10 seconds at a 99.9 percent accuracy rate. The claim is misleading. The technology, known as GeNose C 19, can test for the disease within 45 seconds and has a 95 percent accuracy rate, according to its developers. The Indonesian government has warned GeNose tests should not replace PCR swab tests. An article shared on social media claims US pharmaceutical company Merck discontinued Covid-19 vaccine research and said recovering from the virus would be more effective. This is inaccurate. Merck in fact said it scrapped its vaccine candidates because they did not offer the same level of protection as other shots and produced an immune response "inferior" to that of natural infection. Medical experts also said immunization is the safer option. An image of a crashed bus being hoisted by a crane has been shared hundreds of times on Facebook alongside a claim that the accident happened recently in Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, leading to the death of 27 people. The photo, however, circulated in 2019 in reports about an accident in the capital in which two people died. A video has been viewed tens of thousands of times in multiple Facebook posts alongside a claim it shows a violent military crackdown on protesting monks in Myanmar. The posts circulated online shortly after Myanmar's military seized power in a bloodless coup in early February 2021. The footage, however, in fact shows protesters clashing with the Myanmar military in Yangon in 2007. afp
