A national newspaper recently claimed that pregnant women are 22 times more likely to die from Covid-19 than other women. This is false, and based on the misreporting of a study.
Inaccuracies like this don't just cause anxiety. They could lead people to make unsafe choices about their health.
This is one example of many we've fact checked in recent weeks. And the more a false claim is shared and repeated, the more likely it is to be believed.
That's why it's so important that, together, we hold the press to account for what they publish.
As independent fact checkers, we depend on support from individuals like you to call out and expose misleading headlines and bad reporting of data about our health.
With good information critical to ending this pandemic safely and quickly, could you join them and ensure we get the accuracy we deserve?
