Looks Like She's 19 - After the disappearances of actors Betty White and Bob Saget, many social media users started spreading unsubstantiated claims that both deaths were actually caused by the COVID-19 vaccine.

After the disappearances of actors Betty White and Bob Saget, many social media users started spreading unsubstantiated claims that both deaths were actually caused by the COVID-19 vaccine. This viral TikTok, featuring a short clip of Saget getting his third dose of the vaccine, suggests booster shots are to blame. Here's how we tested it.

If we take a closer look at TikTok, a few things stand out. First, the clip is incredibly short. You have to be careful when you see really short interview clips circulating online because they may not have much context. The text added by the TikTok creator says that it "happened in December," so they don't give any details on when or where the clip was taken. Finally, there is no evidence in the record that the additional injection caused death. Instead, it says "she was as healthy as Betty."

Using the phrase "cause of Bob Saget's death" in conjunction with the words "covid vaccine fact-checking" yielded several results. According to CNN and The New York Times, Saget's family released a statement saying he died of head injuries. They said in a statement: “Authorities determined that Bob died of blunt force trauma to the head. They concluded that he accidentally hit the back of his head on something and fell asleep without thinking about it. There were no drugs or alcohol involved.'

One viral Facebook post said White received his vaccine three days before his death and captioned it with this quote: “Eat right and get all your shots. I just got a breakthrough today." Checking price tags is very simple. Entering the exact phrase into Google brought up several articles debunking it. According to Snopes, PolitiFact and USA Today, the quote is not authentic.

In fact, several media outlets reported that White died in his sleep after suffering a stroke six days ago. In a statement to People, Wyatt's friend and agent, Jeff Witjas, said, “Betty passed away peacefully in her sleep without pain. It means the most to me and comforts me as his dear friend. Everything else is a secret to Betty.'

This is not legal. Without any evidence to support the claim that Bob Saget died from vaccinations, and without multiple credible sources confirming that Betty White died of natural causes, we both rate claims linking the death to the COVID-19 vaccine as illegitimate.
