Wendy Bell, Fact-Checked. Again. (Spoilers: She's Misinforming Her Public)

Yesterday, The Angel of Death posted not one but two BS boards Chock full o' Nutzy misinformation.

The second got this treatment by Facebook's Facheckers:

And if you were on her FB page and if you were to click that "See Why" button, you'd see this:

Fact Check: CDC Did NOT Inflate COVID-19 Numbers And Did
NOT Violate Federal Law In Providing Death Data Guide

There are more sins on that blocked image but for the time being, well let it go at that.

Her other BS board:

Deserves its own debunking.

The first thing you should notice is Wendy's source: The UK's Daily Expose.

These are the same folks who lied (twice) about the vaccines impact on the rate of miscarriages or how those same vaccines could cause mass male infertility.

Neither of which are, y'know, true.

Given how wrong they are about the miscarriages and male infertility, why should we believe them about anything else? I thought Wendy Bell has some journalistic education. Doesn't that training include checking the credibility of one's sources?

Wendy evidently didn't bother here. Or worse yet she did and then proceeded to spread this misinformation any way. Or even worser yet, she doesn't see it as misinformation in the first place.

Uh-oh. Let's hope she's not that far gone. Let's just hope that Wendy's simply dishonest and not disengaged from reality.

But let's take a look at what the BS board actually says (as sourced by the Daily Expose):


Her whole argument rests on this passage. So how much of this is actually true?

While there was a transfer of vaccine candidates at that time, this is actually what happened:

Asked about the MTA, the spokesperson said on June 23, 2021: “The materials transferred to UNC in December 2019 were vaccine candidates against Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and not SARS-CoV-2.”

Because y'know Wendy, as Politifact points out

Human coronaviruses were first identified in the mid-1960s and researchers have identified seven that can infect people.

For years, well before the identification of SARS-CoV-2, researchers have been studying ways to develop vaccines against coronaviruses, particularly because coronaviruses are known to have a high probability of causing pandemics.

Huh. So there are seven known coronaviruses? You didn't say that, did you Wendy? You just let your audience assume that it was SARS-CoV-2, didn't you?

Shouldn't you have checked deeper than with the people who think that the UK COVID lockdowns are a just a part of that country's Climate Change protocols?

Yea crazy, right? No? Uh-oh. Maybe she is that disengaged.

Or maybe you didn't know that there are so many coronaviruses. Oh, if only there was someone close to you who was an actual medical expert that you could ask about this sciency stuff. Perhaps over coffee at the breakfast table some morning before making a fool of yourself on the internet later that day. 

I am sure you know someone like that, right? I am guessing (hoping?) he's appalled that you're getting the medical science so dangerously wrong - as it's probably putting a crimp in his professional credibility.

Oh yea, and it's probably going to lead to a whole lot of people getting sick.
