Dan Bongino's Fox show took a website's list of the most healthy US cities and turned it into a graphic titled "TOP TEN MOST UNHEALTHY U.S. CITIES," which it used to back Bongino's claim that Democrats don't care about urban deaths. Nice catch by @Acyn.
(Bongino's show additionally appears to have mixed up Irving, Texas with Irvine, California.)
Here's what Bongino was saying around the time the upside-down "MOST UNHEALTHY U.S. CITIES" graphic was on screen:

I'm not sure if everyone on the left is aware that the controversy about Walensky's comments as they relate to people with disabilities has been followed by a separate controversy on the right about the same comments as they relate to Americans' risk of dying of Covid.
There are a bunch of "the unedited comment changes nothing, she was still devaluing disabled lives!" tweets. That's subjective; people can debate it all they want. But the unedited comment clearly shows that the other controversy is based on a misinterpretation of what she said.
Like, I'm getting a ton of messages like this...even though I'm dealing with an entirely different controversy, about right-wing commentators wrongly depicting Walensky's comments, and not touching the argument that she demeaned disabled people, which is not fact-checkable.

Walensky referenced a particular study that found:

Of 1,228,664 people *fully vaccinated*

Just 36 died of Covid-19

28 of those 36, 78%, had four or more comorbidities

Walensky was asked about this study and responded by summarizing the study. Did not talk all Covid deaths
Lots of unvaccinated people who’ve died of Covid have also had lots of comorbidities. My point, which has been made by others, is that Walensky’s comments on Good Morning America are being inaccurately described
This is the clip to watch.

Biden's sentence: "We're gonna keep at it to ensure the American people are paying their fair share for gas - not being gouged for gas." This rapidly spreading Post Millennial clip cuts out the "gouged" clause to make him sound out of touch or something.
Townhall (), Disclosetv () and others have posted the truncated 12-second clip. The Michigan GOP and Rep. Dan Bishop, among others, then amplified it. ImageImage
(Postscript: I honestly don't even see how the deceptively truncated quote is being interpreted as Biden saying current gas prices are fair, but the full quote certainly makes it more clear that he isn't saying that.)

Biden made two false claims in this short section of his remarks yesterday on the Virginia election: Image
It's unusual in recent decades for a VA governor candidate to win with a partymate as president, but far from unprecedented: McAuliffe himself did it in 2013; Republicans did it in 1969 and (with a party-switching former Dem governor) in 1973; lots of Dems did it prior.
(And no, Biden couldn’t have been talking only about sitting governors, since a) he was talking about McAuliffe’s performance; b) more importantly, sitting Virginia governors can’t even run for re-election.)

This viral video is nonsense. It begins with a bonkers claim that the Secretary of Defense sent a text to all active military demanding they get vaccinated by 10 AM the next day. There was no such text. Also, the military's actual vaccination deadlines begin in November.
Important tip: Don't rely on internet stories told by a guy who begins his dramatic story by saying "my dad just let me know this."
Ah, interesting: A week ago, PolitiFact debunked a highly similar nonsense article - with the 10 AM deadline and everything - that was published on a site that pushes false claims under the guise of "humor, parody and satire." politifact.com/factchecks/202…

It's not a "new study," it's from 2011, and it's a study of 37 Nigerians with river blindness who took ivermectin for 11 months. I'm not saying ivermectin is good for Covid; I'm saying people should chill with the Dramatic Social Media Claims about it.
37. The study says they began with 385 people diagnosed with river blindness, but found only 37 of them had sufficiently normal sperm counts to make them eligible for the ivermectin study.
