Every claim is investigated, every source cross-referenced, every detail verified. This is Aevum's commitment to truth in the age of misinformation.
Every fact-check ends with one of four verdicts, based on our rigorous evaluation process.
The claim is accurate and fully supported by evidence.
Partially accurate but contains context that changes the meaning.
The claim is incorrect or contradicts available evidence.
Intentionally false information designed to deceive the public.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics confirmed the unemployment rate reached 2.1% in September 2024, the lowest quarterly rate since the Bureau began comprehensive records in 1948. The decline was driven by strong job growth in healthcare, technology, and professional services sectors.
Despite viral social media posts claiming a "common cold vaccine" is nearly ready, no pharmaceutical company or research institution has announced a viable vaccine candidate. The rhinovirus family comprises over 160 serotypes, making a single vaccine scientifically implausible with current technology.
While AI tools are increasingly used in recruitment — screening resumes, scheduling interviews, and assessing applications — the claim that they "make" 40% of hiring decisions is inaccurate. Research from the World Economic Forum shows AI assists in the hiring process for approximately 15-20% of companies, and final hiring decisions remain predominantly human-led in the vast majority of cases.
A coordinated campaign circulated forged government documents alleging a plot to override state election results. Our investigation found the documents contained forged watermarks, impossible date formats, and references to non-existent legislation. The documents originated from known disinformation networks and were designed to erode public trust in democratic processes.
Both the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the International Energy Agency (IEA) independently confirmed that global installed renewable energy capacity exceeded fossil fuel capacity during 2024. Solar alone accounted for over 60% of the new capacity additions, with wind and hydro making up the majority of the remainder. This represents a historic inflection point in global energy transition.
The $5,000 figure originated from a partisan advocacy group's modeling that used highly selective assumptions. Our analysis using data from the Tax Policy Center, Congressional Budget Office, and independent economists found that the legislation actually reduces taxes for approximately 68% of middle-income households, with an average reduction of $340 annually. The most significant tax increases (where they exist) target the top 2% of earners.
