Claim: “Dr. Sebi’s daughter was sentenced to 155 years in prison for revealing top secret health hacks.” (Facebook posts, 2024-05-14)
Evidence (2020-12-28): Despite the amount of time or space — from his time in the Honduras, Puerto Rico, New York or California — Dr. Sebi would never allow distance to alter the strong bond he shared with his daughter. Bowman worked with her dad in his Los Angeles store, which was located in the Marla Gibbs complex, for 15 years. One of her most adored herbs to incorporate in her products is sea moss, a popular type of seaweed which has many health benefits. "Sea moss was always important in our lives because it carries 92 of the 102 minerals the body requires," she details. Bowman also explains that the natural supplement is a combination of Irish moss and Bladderwort – she says it allows individuals to cleanse, nourish and re-build their bodies from the inside out. Sea moss is a primary staple that was deeply incorporated into Dr. Sebi’s legacy. Dr. Sebi is revered by many as the founder and creator of the natural herb movement. [...] To commemorate her father’s legacy and the love she shared with him, especially during their long walks in Honduras together, the Atlanta-based businesswoman continues his work through her own company, Sebi’s Daughters. Bowman steadfastly follows the plant-based diet in which her father is widely known for developing, but she has successfully taken it to another level. Bowman speaks with Heart & Soul about the most influential pieces of wisdom she ever received from her father, the late Dr. Sebi — and many of his teachings were instilled through his compassion and unforgettable spirit.

Evidence (2024-02-26): I use natural medicine and natural supplements so Tiktok will show me from time to time some useful videos with products or tips, but this time it showed me posts from weird accounts saying that Dr. Sebi’s son was convicted of 155 years in prison for revealing his father’s list of products. Dr. Sebi, whose real name was Alfredo Darrington Bowman, was a Honduran herbalist and healer. He was born on November 26, 1933, in Honduras, and passed away on August 6, 2016, at the age of 82 in La Ceiba, Honduras. Dr. Sebi was known for his self-proclaimed expertise in herbal healing and practiced in the United States during the late 20th and early 21st centuries. He believed that certain foods could detoxify the body and that mucus and acidity were the root causes of disease. Dr. Sebi's approach to healing involved eating specific foods and avoiding others. He also founded "Dr. Sebi's Cell Food," which offers products made from potent botanical extracts and herbs.

There are posts with text claiming Barbara O’Neil disappeared when in reality she is fine. Here are some of the many fake TikTok accounts.

Claim: Tariffs are a “direct, regressive tax on Americans” and President Joe Biden’s new tariffs on Chinese goods will “hit every family.” (Jared Polis, 2024-05-15)
Evidence (2024-05-15): President Joe Biden said the United States would impose new or higher tariffs on various Chinese goods, including electric vehicles, to target unfair trade practices by China and protect the United States’ competitiveness in manufacturing clean energy products and microchips. There is widespread academic support for the notion that tariffs raise prices for consumers, and that lower-income consumers are hurt disproportionately. Experts said the targeted nature of Biden’s tariffs should limit their impact on consumers.

Evidence (2024-09-13): The Biden administration said Friday that it has finalized tariff hikes on certain Chinese-made products that the president first announced in May. [...] Trump implemented sweeping tariffs on about $300 billion of Chinese-made products when he was in office. President Joe Biden has kept those tariffs in place and, after the USTR finished a multiyear review earlier this year, decided to increase some of the rates on about $15 billion of Chinese imports. [...] Other studies have also said the proposed tariffs would raise prices for families, but by a smaller amount. The Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, for example, said the impact could be an additional $1,350 a year for middle-income households.

Tariffs are a direct, regressive tax on Americans and this tax increase will hit every family. https://t.co/ZLYvh3pm2Z — Jared Polis (@jaredpolis) May 14, 2024 [...] A tariff is a government tax imposed on goods and services imported from other countries. Countries often impose tariffs in the name of making their domestic companies more competitive with foreign counterparts; the tariffs either make the foreign items more expensive, putting them at a disadvantage in the marketplace, or they make foreign companies forgo entering the market at all.Biden’s new round of tariffs apply to about $18 billion of annual imports from China, the White House said. Other Chinese goods that will face higher tariffs include batteries, battery components, certain minerals, cranes used at ports, certain medical products, steel and aluminum.Under the new standard, the tariff rate for Chinese-produced electric vehicles will rise from 25% to 100% this year, while semiconductor tariffs will double from 25% to 50% by 2025. Tariffs on lithium-ion batteries, a key component of EVs, will increase from 7.5% to 25%. Tariffs on solar panels will rise from 25% to 50%. Tariffs on steel and aluminum will increase from 0% to 25%.

Evidence (2024-05-14): WASHINGTON (AP) — New tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles and batteries, solar cells, medical equipment and other goods are intended to protect U.S. jobs and manufacturers. They could raise prices on certain specific items, experts say, though a broad inflationary impact is unlikely in the short term. [...] The tariffs come in the middle of the presidential campaign between Biden and his Republican predecessor, Donald Trump, in which they are vying to show who’s toughest on China. The Biden administration has insisted that its approach is more targeted and less inflationary than the across-the-board tariffs proposed by Trump.

Evidence (2024-05-14): Saying he intends to protect American jobs and strategic industries, President Joe Biden on Tuesday announced major increases in tariffs on a range of goods imported from China, including electric vehicles, semiconductors, solar panels, steel and aluminum. [...] The tariff conundrum: Some critics of the Biden tariff decision echoed earlier complaints about the Trump tariffs, including the charge that they function as a tax on consumers that will delay the implementation of much-needed environmental policies and technologies. "This is horrible news for American consumers and a major setback for clean energy," said Jared Polis, the Democratic governor of Colorado. But some on both the left and the right said tariffs are needed to protect U.S. participation in the industries that will define the future. David Dayen, executive editor of progressive magazine The American Prospect, said that Biden’s effort at industrial policy makes the tariffs a necessity, at least in the short run. "[I]f you’re the White House, and you’ve just committed hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to creating a homegrown electric-vehicle industry and an entire ecosystem of batteries and minerals around it, you might want to make sure that commitment doesn’t go completely to waste," he wrote.

Evidence (2024-08-28): What Biden’s tariffs on Chinese EVs and other products mean for U.S. consumers, jobs [...] Biden’s new tariffs on China range from 100% tariffs on electric vehicles to 50% on solar cells and 25% on aluminum and steel products and respirators and face masks. Other hikes will go into effect in 2025 and 2026. [...] "When we look at the at the record of the Trump administration and the Biden administration in terms of tariffs, what we have seen so far is that the latest studies show that there is a net loss in jobs, at least of 140,000 to 275,000 jobs across industries and an increase in prices and additional costs that American consumers have to pay," Patnaik said.
