Big List of False/Baseless Claims By Candace Owens

Written with the help of Grok AI.

COVID-19 / Vaccine Conspiracies

  1. False claim: Owens tweeted that the CDC proposed “putting high risk people into camps to ‘shield’ low risk people from them,” comparing it to Nazi Germany; the 2020 CDC guidance actually addressed protecting vulnerable people in humanitarian settings like refugee camps abroad, not U.S. citizens.
  2. False claim: Owens claimed 80,000 Americans died from the flu in 2019 to downplay COVID-19 severity; CDC estimates for the 2018-2019 flu season were 34,200 deaths, with a range of 26,300-52,700.
  3. False claim: Owens sarcastically tweeted that “everyone is only dying of #Coronavirus now” while implying flu and other deaths had vanished, misrepresenting CDC data; doctors and fact-checks confirmed deaths were reclassified due to COVID-19’s role as a contributing factor, not inflated counts.
  4. Baseless claim: Owens tweeted that the HPV vaccine Gardasil causes infertility and is part of a “war on fertility”; large-scale studies by the CDC and WHO found no link, and fact-checkers like Science Feedback labeled it unsubstantiated anti-vaccine misinformation.

  1. Baseless claim: Owens tweeted that Maricopa County tabulator glitches on Election Day 2022 indicated fraud and “election theft”; county officials and a U.S. cybersecurity expert confirmed it was a printer issue fixed by adjusting settings, with no fraud evidence—all ballots were counted.
