Below are the myth-fact sets for the flyer. I will be working on typesetting them (in Word) into a decent-looking "flyerish" 8 by 11 document. I will then see if I can post an image file that people can take and paste into Word. Then you can print out some flyers and distribute them as you see fit.

However, I make no promises. I am not sure I will figure out the way to make this happen because I am not that great with computer stuff.

In the meantime, you are certainly free to cut and paste these into a Word document, play with the fonts and formatting, reorder them, tweak phrasing, substitute one or more for something you come up with or something that might be better based on future published information, and give your creation to your nephew who has been complaining about all the Trance Covidians at school and would love to hand out flyers while wearing a "When words lose their meaning, people lose their liberty" tee shirt or a shirt with a similar provocative message that is ambiguous as to political identity of the wearer.

1.Myth: Almost everyone who died of Covid was elderly.

Fact: Only 78% of people who died of Covid were over 65.

2. Myth: Ivermectin is being used all over the world to treat Covid.

Fact: Ivermectin is only being used in a little over a third of the world’s countries.

3.Myth: The vast majority of hospitalizations for Covid were among obese people.

Fact: Just under half the hospitalizations for Covid were among obese people.

4. Myth: Only a handful of Covid cases result in hospitalization.

Fact: As many as 3% of all people who test positive for Covid end up hospitalized for Covid or were already hospitalized at the time of testing.

5.Myth: Very few people hospitalized for Covid are actually hospitalized just for Covid.

Fact: About half of those hospitalized for Covid were hospitalized due to a severe case of Covid versus being hospitalized for another condition and incidentally tested positive for Covid.

6.Myth: The VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event System) demonstrates that there have been four times as many deaths reportedly due to the Covid vaccines compared to deaths for all other vaccines combined.

Fact: The number of deaths reported on VAERS due to the Covid vaccines is 15,000 compared to 9,000 for all other vaccines combined, thus not even quite twice as high.

7. Myth: Covid spelled backwards means “Satan” in Hebrew.

Fact: There is no such actual word as “divoc.” It is merely a derivation from the Hebrew “dybbuk,” meaning malevolent spirit.

8. Myth: For every one person killed by the Covid-19 epidemic, the Spanish Flu epidemic killed 100 people.

Fact: Covid-19 has killed about 600 people per million, whereas the Spanish Flu killed 20K per million. Thus, the Spanish Flu did not even kill 35x the number of people killed by Covid-19, let alone 100x.

9. Myth: Covid-19 vaccine manufacturers were granted special immunity from being sued for any adverse effects associated with the vaccine.

Fact: Vaccine manufacturers have had immunity from being sued for adverse effects of vaccines since 2005.

10. Myth: The Covid-19 vaccines have resulted in dozens of new billionaires being created.

Fact: The number of people who joined the ranks of billionaires because of their investment in the vaccines is under 10.

11. Myth: During the Covid-19 vaccine trials, data was intentionally destroyed to hide bad results.

Fact: While the control group was lost, this was done in order to protect study participants from being infected.

12. Myth: Never before in the history of medicine have mRNA-based vaccines been used.

Fact: While mRNA-based vaccines have never been used on a broad-scale, they have been used to treat patients with specific types of cancer.

13. Myth: The Covid-19 “pandemic’ is really a “plandemic” in that global elites arranged to release it on the world out of their concern for overpopulation and to have an excuse to abolish private property/usher in a “Great Reset.”

Fact: This myth is based on a drill held in October 2019, a drill designed to determine ways to deal with an outbreak of an epidemic disease should it occur, and on videos by discredited hoaxer Alex Jones.

14. Myth: According to one prominent scientist, vaccinating against a coronavirus in the middle of a pandemic carries with it the danger of antibody dependent enhancement (ADE).

Fact: While ADE is a theoretical concern, the scientist, Geert Vanden Bossche, responsible for promulgating this idea is not a medical doctor but a veterinarian specializing in animal vaccines.

15. Myth: Studies have shown serious adverse effects of Covid-19 vaccines in over a quarter of recipients.

Fact: Serious adverse effects have been shown to occur in 5 to 10% of recipients.

16. Myth: Hospitals are making billions in extra income by classifying patients as having Covid-19.

Fact: While hospitals do get paid a premium for Covid-19 patients, especially those who are ventilated, an average hospital would have to have over 10K patients to earn a billion dollars.

https://www.factcheck.org/2020/04/hospital-payments-and-the-covid-19-death-count/

17. Myth: PCR tests for Covid-19 routinely result in up to 97% false positives.

Fact: Only if the test is run at too high a cycle threshold, a false positive may result in half of all cases.

You have to imagine these all in a pretty font with appropriate tab sets, bolding, and underlining and perhaps sources endnoted instead of given after each set.

The heading would be something like:

"Stop Covid misinformation from spreading. Alarming myths those ill-informed believe about the danger of Covid-19 and facts to refute them."

Not sure why you're posting this. Most of them are kind of point less.
Such as:
"Myth: Ivermectin is being used all over the world to treat Covid"
Why does it matter who is using it. I only care if it works. Yes it works because covid is partly a parasite. That uses the same pathways as Toxoplasma Gondii.

Another.
8. "Covid-19 has killed about 600 people per million"

Covid did NOT kill 600 people per million. those people died WITH covid. If one died in a plane crash and they had covid doesn't mean covid killed them.

of those hospitalized 700 people of died FROM covid with no other Comorbidity. Illness Among 540,667 Adults Hospitalized.

Covid never met the old criteria of a pandemic.
