A KFF analysis of ACA marketplace plans found consumers appealed less than two-tenths of one percent of denied in-network claims in 2021, nowhere near 10%. So the real follow-up rate is dramatically lower than this claim suggests.
Kanye West's appearance is solid: multiple entertainment outlets confirmed Dave Chappelle brought him onstage as a surprise guest at The Comedy Store in West Hollywood on May 4, 2026, and roasted him to a standing ovation. Reporting on the night also referenced Chris Rock and Louis C.K. being involved, but coverage doesn't confirm Shane Gillis was there, so pairing him with the other two names overstates what's actually documented.
An AP investigation did confirm a covert U.S. operation to infiltrate Cuba's hip-hop scene, but it was run by USAID and its contractors, not the CIA. Cuban officials reportedly suspected CIA involvement, but reporting has consistently attributed the program to USAID.
The original iPhone was announced in January 2007 and went on sale in the United States on June 29, 2007, so it was available for the second half of that year. The speaker's point that there was no iPhone yet fits early 2007, before launch. As written, the claim that the iPhone was not available at all in 2007 is wrong. Falsifier: a source showing the first iPhone did not ship until 2008 would flip this verdict.
AZT was developed as a cancer drug in the 1960s and later repurposed for AIDS, and its early high doses did cause serious side effects. But it wasn't discontinued, its dosage was lowered instead, and it's still used today and remains on the WHO's list of essential medicines.
This did happen, but it wasn't individual football teams doing the bribing. A 2016 government investigation found the Korea Football Association, the sport's national governing body, paid for sexual services for foreign referees and officials on at least eight occasions in 2011 and 2012. The report only became public in 2026.
Pope Leo XIV, elected in May 2025, rode in a popemobile around St. Peter's Square before his inaugural Mass on 18 May 2025, according to Wikipedia's account of the inauguration. That directly contradicts the claim that he does not use one. Falsifier: evidence that Leo XIV has ridden in no popemobile at any event since his election would flip this verdict.
The Marshall Rogan Inu coin is real. Front Office Sports reported in March 2022 that six fighters mentioned it after UFC 272 and were paid for doing so. The same report says the UFC declined to comment, though a source said the promotion knew about the coin and had done some early research. I found no report or UFC statement showing it told fighters to stop, so this rests on Rogan's own account. A UFC memo, statement or credible report of fighters being told to stop mentioning the coin would make this true.
Joseph Paul Franklin did confess to shooting Larry Flynt in 1978, and he was executed in 2013, but those two facts aren't directly connected the way this claim implies. He was never charged or tried for the Flynt shooting, and his execution was for a separate 1977 murder in Missouri.
Ashe's own memoir describes finding his infection in 1988, after a brain operation, and he lived until February 1993. That is about 4.5 years, not six months. He also did have symptoms, since the diagnosis followed neurological trouble. I found no record that his AZT use began only months before his death. A check that would flip this verdict is a medical record or biography showing his first AZT dose was around mid-1992.
The billions are real: the Trump family had profited roughly $1 billion from the World Liberty Financial crypto venture by the end of 2025, with billions more in unsold tokens. But that money went to the Trump family's private business, not to 'the administration' as a government entity, which is a meaningful difference from how this claim frames it.
Kary Mullis never said PCR shouldn't be used to detect infections. The quote that circulates online making this claim actually traces back to a different writer, not Mullis, and fact checkers have found no record of him saying it. What Mullis did question was using PCR to precisely quantify how much virus is in a sample, which is a different and narrower point than saying it can't detect an infection at all.
I found no UK rule requiring three years of UK rental experience to rent a flat. A UK guide for new arrivals says that having no UK credit history makes renting harder but does not mean you cannot rent, and that landlords may ask for extra proof such as a guarantor or several months of rent upfront. The claim overstates informal landlord caution into a legal bar. Falsifier: an official UK government rule or law setting a three-year UK rental history requirement would flip this verdict.
No US law named erections as banned in magazine photos. Obscenity is judged under the Miller test, which uses local community standards and does not treat showing genitals as automatically obscene. Mainstream magazines like Playgirl held back on erections, and Playgirl's history says explicit shoots with erections were rare and mostly came later. That was caution about obscenity charges, not a specific legal ban, though obscenity prosecutions were a real risk. A federal or state statute from the 1980s that specifically banned depicting erections in magazines would flip this.
On the episode the guest said it took him 20 years to fly again, but the public record puts his first flight since the 2008 crash in August 2021, about 13 years later. Reporting on that flight, including a CNN article, says he had not traveled by air since the September 2008 crash, which makes the gap roughly 13 years rather than 20. The claim overstates the gap by about seven years.
Apple's iPhone has a built-in Weather app, and Apple's own support guide describes how to check the weather in it. The app has been included on iPhones since the first model in 2007, so the claim that there is no native weather app is wrong.
Right story, wrong company and wrong ending. It was Facebook in 2017, where two negotiating bots drifted off grammatical English into a compressed shorthand. Researchers stopped that run because they wanted bots that could talk to people, not because anyone panicked. Facebook and outside reporting both pushed back on the runaway-AI framing at the time.
Campbell reports that Gemini and then Alexa improved at remote viewing after coaching, but the only evidence is his own sessions, with no blinding, controls, or published data. Reviews of remote viewing say recent controlled experiments have not produced positive results and that there is no scientific evidence the ability is real. So saying AI models can successfully remote view overstates an uncontrolled anecdote. A published, blinded trial in which AI systems beat chance on remote viewing targets would flip this verdict.
Campbell says about 35 of every 50 students in his remote viewing classes have some success, about 20 percent succeed most of the time, and about 10 percent succeed all the time. These are his own teaching figures, and I found no class records, enrollment data, or outside review of his courses. Published reviews of controlled remote viewing studies report that positive results have not been reliably repeated, so there is no independent benchmark for these percentages. Published class records or an independent audit of his training results would settle it.
Campbell's account is that Alexa described a wooden spoon with holes in its handle after being told to remote view a box, but that is one uncontrolled anecdote with no independent witness. Reviews of remote viewing say there is no scientific evidence it is possible, and the government Stargate program ended without usable intelligence. Calling this a successful remote viewing overstates a single retold story. This matches the earlier Brian Simpson ruling on the same anecdote, so I kept its distorted call; the Kokotajlo page's FALSE label is harsher than the evidence supports, since the spoon story is at least reported as his own account. A controlled, blinded test in which Alexa identifies hidden objects above chance would flip this verdict.
