So, it's clear to anyone that this "fact check", from @VerifyThis, is a load of BS. What may not be so clear though, is that this is how ALL "fact checkers" operate.

One of the go-to strategies for "fact checkers" is to re-state the claim they are checking, in a way that outright distorts that claim. Or, in this case, that distorts it in a subtle way.

I'm going to post some especially nice examples of the demolition of the "fact checkers."

There, there, thebmj editors - it's not just you. This is happening to everyone. (Everyone who strays from the official narrative on such things).
