Specific example of a false claim for their survey:
>"The covid vaccines contain the lung tissue of aborted fetuses"
>At least five of the candidate COVID-19 vaccines use one of two human fetal cell lines: HEK-293, a kidney cell line widely used in research and industry that comes from a fetus aborted in about 1972; and PER.C6, a proprietary cell line owned by Janssen, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, developed from retinal cells from an 18-week-old fetus aborted in 1985.

Yes, this claim is inaccurate on the specifics. However, concerns about using a vaccine derived from the cultured cell lines of an aborted human fetus remain. This is a transparently dishonest method of affirming their hypothesis via loaded questions. "Misinformation" indeed.
Doubly ironic given that they are attempting to talk down to "American rubes" who dare to question official narratives. Perhaps individuals would be more trusting of establishment media sources and government pronouncements if they were not transparently dishonest.
