There are still people spreading dangerous mistruths about the coronavirus—and people are still believing them.

Last week, we produced a video debunking dangerous coronavirus misinformation from a repeat offender.
What we said won’t surprise you–but below are just some of the comments left under a single one of our videos.
The evidence is clear: masks work, lockdowns slow viral transmission and the Covid vaccines are safe. Can you help make sure people access good information before making unsafe choices about their health?
I'll support independent fact checking today ([link removed])
Supporters often ask us why we bother checking and challenging the same claims. The truth is that there are still people spreading dangerously false information—and many people believe them.
With so much contradictory information out there, it’s right that people ask questions ahead of making important decisions about their health.
But to make sure those decisions are based on accurate information, not harmful conspiracy theories, we need your support today:
Yes, I'll give £7.56* a month ([link removed])
Yes, I'll chip in £21 to support your next fact check ([link removed])
On your behalf, we won't leave the facts behind.
