Politifact and their so-called COVID ‘fact-checker’ (with NO medical experience) DRAGGED in brutal thread
Just for fun...
1. Meet Jeff. For what it’s worth, Jeff looks like a nice guy. I’m even willing to bet that Jeff wakes up everyday and tries his best to do his job, despite his shortcomings and lack of credentials to do so.
2. You see, Jeff is a “Fact-Checker” for Politifact and gets paid to discredit Covid misinformation. So one might ask what are Jeff’s qualification?
3. Jeff is for all intents and purposes a wordsmith. Alongside a profile picture of him as a dog, is a list of his journalistic contributions and associations.
4. Like I said before, Jeff is probably a nice guy, but Jeff is just one of many in an epidemic of ‘False Fact-Checking Prophets’ who are plaguing society right now. Each of whom are paid to discredit inconvenient truths and mislead the public.
5. For instance, take a look this fact-check by Jeff as a recent example of his work. Jeff rated this tweet as “FALSE”:

6. So how did Jeff arrive at the “False” conclusion? Well, weirdly it’s unclear since the evidence he presented to supposedly support a “False” claim, directly contradicts his conclusion and actually verifies the original
@hodgetwins tweet.

7. Now one might ask: —Are ‘False Fact-Checking Prophets’ just totally inept? Or —Are ‘False Fact-Checking Prophets’ relying on the ineptitude of the public? Some could likely make a case for either, or both for that matter.
8. There’s also another recent fact-check that was also concluded as “False” by Jeff. This claim was regarding a social media post insinuating that clots/strokes in athletes was likely a side effect of the vaccines.
And it goes on...
Just for fun...
Politifact’s COVID fact-checker has SOME medical experience … right? RIGHT?!
Nope. Not even a little.
Crazy, right? You’d THINK a supposed fact-checking site like Politifact would want the person working on COVID disinformation to have a teensy weensy bit of experience in the medical field. We’re not talking a doctor or a nurse or anything, but even a medical writer or someone who took more than Health in college.
