Coronavirus
Fact-checking misinformation after CDC updates mask guidance for COVID-19
Environment
Yes, 'botanical sexism' has led to more pollen in American cities
“Botanical sexism” refers to cities’ preferences for male trees over female trees because the males produce pollen instead of “tree litter” like fruits or seeds.
Olympics
No, athletes who test positive for COVID-19 at the Olympics cannot compete in the games
Gymnast Kara Eaker and beach volleyball player Taylor Crabb will not compete after testing positive for COVID-19.
Health
Yes, most hospitals are required to offer financial assistance
Eligibility for those financial assistance policies varies from state to state and hospital to hospital, so it’s important to check your hospital’s policies first.
Vaccine
Yes, the COVID-19 vaccine can lead to a false-positive mammogram
Swollen lymph nodes are a natural reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine. Experts say people should still get vaccinated and not delay overdue mammogram appointments.
Government
Yes, private citizens are tasked with enforcing the new Texas abortion law and could be awarded $10,000
A lawsuit seeking to block the Texas law was filed last week. But the unusual way the law is set to be enforced makes it more difficult to challenge, experts say.
Government
No, members of Congress do not get free medical care for life
Becoming a member of Congress has its perks, but a popular social media rumor about their health insurance is false.
Health
No, abortion rates are not ‘out the roof’ as Kirstie Alley claimed
Actress Kirstie Alley on July 2 tweeted that “more girls than ever are getting pregnant and abortion rates are out the roof.”
Coronavirus
Yes, heart inflammation after COVID-19 vaccination has been reported more in boys and young men
The CDC continues to recommend that everyone over the age of 12 gets fully vaccinated against COVID-19 despite the possible risk of myocarditis and pericarditis.
Weather
Yes, aluminum foil can be used over windows to help keep homes cool
Emergency management agencies specifically recommend using aluminum foil-covered cardboard that goes between windows and drapes.
Coronavirus
Yes, the COVID-19 vaccines are effective against the Delta variant
WHO experts say the COVID-19 vaccines authorized for emergency use are “incredibly effective” at preventing severe illness and death against the Delta variant.
Coronavirus
Yes, a fully vaccinated person exposed to the Delta variant could transmit COVID-19 to others
The World Health Organization is urging people to continue to wear masks and practice social distancing as the Delta variant spreads across the globe.
