Reuters Fake Fact-Check Fails Again

I had the pleasure of being contacted by Reuters Fact Check last week, with a demand that I explain and justify a headline on a story I wrote about COVID vaccines. I immediately started laughing.

Why?

Well, I should probably explain Reuters Fact Check first.

Reuters Fact Check is one of the many disreputable fact-check organizations that Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg cut ties with in January because, in his words, “The fact checkers have been too politically biased and destroyed more trust than they created, especially in the US.” At the time, Zuckerberg cut financial links with Reuters Fact Check and about two-thirds of the entire fact checking industry.
