The clip mixes one true statistic about Brazil’s COVID death toll with multiple unsupported or contradicted claims about Fauci, ivermectin, vaccines, and a China-created “population reduction” plot.

Claim-by-claim breakdown

Accurate (97% confidence): Brazil reached about 700,000 official COVID-19 deaths. AP reported Brazil’s 700,000th recorded COVID death in March 2023; other sources also cite nearly 700,000 official deaths by the end of 2022.
False (93% confidence): Anthony Fauci admitted that hundreds of thousands of deaths could have been prevented if ivermectin had been allowed as the main COVID treatment. WHO, FDA, and medical reviews have said ivermectin should not be used for COVID-19 outside trials or is not authorized/approved for that use.
False (95% confidence): Ivermectin is proven to be effective as the main treatment for COVID-19 and could have saved many lives. WHO recommends ivermectin only within clinical trials; FDA says it is not authorized or approved for preventing or treating COVID-19 in humans.
False (96% confidence): COVID vaccines are proven to cause irreversible harm, especially in children. CDC states the known risks of COVID-19 itself outweigh the rare risks of vaccination in children and teens; CDC safety monitoring found myocarditis risk is rare and generally outweighed by benefits.
Unsupported (88% confidence): China created the virus as part of a global plan to reduce the population. No authoritative source supports the existence of a population-reduction scheme or proves the virus was created in China.
Accurate (78% confidence): There is no COVID vaccine requirement for children in the United States as a general federal rule. CDC guidance emphasizes vaccination but does not impose a universal federal requirement for children; mandates have varied by setting and jurisdiction.
