And now for third leg of your trifecta of conspiratorial, juvenile misinformation sources
HealthImpactNews
Analysis / Bias
In review, Health Impact News publishes health-related news stories that they state are alternative. Our analysis concurs that they are certainly an alternative to conventional science and medicine. They are fiercely anti-vaccine with articles such as this: Dangerous Vaccines Found to Cause Symptoms of Shaken Baby Syndrome. This story comes from the discredited VacTruth website. They also routinely publish anti-GMO propaganda such as this. They are also purveyors of misinformation regarding Chemtrails and Geoengineering such as Covert Chemical Geoengineering Programs – A Real Threat to Public Health.
Health Impact News often republished content from disreputable sources such as Mercola, Children’s Health Defense, and Natural News. Finally, during the Covid-19 pandemic, they frequently published or misleading information. See failed fact checks below for details.
Failed Fact Checks
“6000% Increase in Reported Vaccine Deaths 1st Quarter 2021 Compared to 1st Quarter 2020” – False
Formerly healthy people are suffering serious harm or even dying from taking the flu shot – Inaccurate
Baseless Conspiracy Theories Claim New Coronavirus Was Bioengineered – No Evidence
181 Dead in the U.S. During 2 Week Period From Experimental COVID Injections – False
The high-dose Fluzone vaccine caused the deaths of 23 senior citizens during a clinical trial. – False
See More Failed Fact Checks
Overall, we rate Health Impact News a Quackery-level pseudoscience website for the promotion of anti-vaccination propaganda as well as chemtrails, geoengineering, and false information regarding GMOs. (D. Van Zandt 8/10/2016) Updated (9/15/2021)
