The entire world is now doing namaste… hawans and yajnas are being done… gaumutra (cow urine) and tulsi’s benefits are being understood… Gita and Ramayana are being read. Hail sanatan [...] Thus, no evidence exists to support the claim that a vegetarian lifestyle can protect someone from contracting COVID-19, a claim that has been debunked by both media outlets and the Indian government. Furthermore, the WHO and its China representative, Galea, have made no recommendations based on diet. Their statements instead focus on the possible risks of COVID-19 spreading in spaces where meat is exchanged, and methods to process and consume meat and poultry safely.

Claim: the World Health Organization (WHO) has said that no vegetarian has contracted COVID-19 (Viral post, 2020-03-29)
Evidence (2020-05-11): A viral message on social media claims that no vegetarian has been affected by coronavirus because it requires animal fat in the body to survive. The claim has been attributed to the World Health Organization (WHO). A similar message in Hindi doing the rounds on social media translates to, "Not a single vegetarian person has contracted coronavirus in the entire world, says WHO report. Amazing Sanatan culture". India Today Anti Fake News War Room (AFWA) has found that there is no scientific evidence yet to prove that vegetarians are safe from coronavirus. The WHO has not said that coronavirus cannot affect vegetarians or it needs animal fat in a body to survive. In fact, the global health body has recommended animal protein in its nutrition advice for adults during the Covid-19 outbreak.
Claim: the World Health Organization (WHO) has said that no vegetarian has contracted COVID-19 (Viral post, 2020-03-29)
Evidence (2020-05-08): Multiple Facebook and Twitter posts shared hundreds of times claim the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that no vegetarian has contracted the novel coronavirus.

[...] The Hindi text translates to English as: "Not a single vegetarian has contracted coronavirus in the entire world: WHO Report. Amazing Sanatana Dharma. Hail Hindutva." [...] Dr R.V. Asokan, the secretary-general of the Indian Medical Association, also refuted the claim about vegetarians being protected against COVID-19.
Claim: the World Health Organization (WHO) has said that no vegetarian has contracted COVID-19 (Viral post, 2020-03-29)
Evidence (2020-03-18): The claim: The coronavirus pandemic resulted from human consumption of animals. On March 15, vegan influencer Ed Winters, who often goes by the name "Earthling Ed" on social media, posted a graphic to his Instagram account stating that "COVID-19 was caused by eating animals." "The new coronavirus pandemic would not have started if we didn’t farm and eat animals," Winters wrote. [...] We rate the claim that COVID-19 was caused by eating animals partly false because some of the claim is not supported by our research. While it is true that many infectious diseases that have wreaked havoc on humans have come from animals, it is not entirely the case that ending the consumption of animals would put an end to such diseases. Limiting contact with animals, even assuming they are not being consumed by humans, would be necessary to lessen the chances that viruses and other pathogens transfer between species and infect humans.
Claim: the World Health Organization (WHO) has said that no vegetarian has contracted COVID-19 (Viral post, 2020-03-29)
Evidence (2020-04-16): COVID-19 is caused by a "novel" coronavirus, meaning it's not just a new strain of something we've seen before, but a wholly new virus, recently jumped from a different animal host. Our bodies have a rich arsenal of antibodies, but none of them recognizes this bug, so it rages completely unfettered while our bodies scramble to raise new antibodies to fight it. During the 6-10 days that it takes to do that, the virus has already ravaged our respiratory epithelium (the lining of our airways), leaving us with painful breathing, poor oxygen absorption, and leaving us wide open to pneumonia, both bacterial and viral. It's serious, it's dangerous, it's not a hoax, and it will KILL A LOT OF PEOPLE if we don't take the lockdown seriously.

"No doubt a mis-attribution."

Evidence (2022-06-16): Hey everybody, Steve and Dan Fouts here. We are teaching different with American president Abraham Lincoln using a quote attributed to him on self-determination. Here’s the quote, "The best way to predict the future is to create it." A really thought provoking quote. It’s short, to the point, and talks about what it is that we can control in our life, and how that affects how our future is going to unfold. Lincoln has a pretty clear opinion on this. What would you say the claim is? [...] I think you’ll get a lot of students agreeing with Abraham Lincoln on this quote. There are always a few students who, when you ask them what they want to be when they grow up, give you their wildest dreams. They’re going to say what it is they want to do that makes them happy. I just remember students, who really liked sports, telling me, I want to make it to the NBA, I want to make it to the NFL. It’s really an inspiring quote because it says you have the ability to take control over that. Just asking students what their dreams are is a great way to start this conversation. As teachers, parents, and coaches, we’re continually sending this message to kids that they have success in their hands, that they just have to work hard to get it. They can create their own reality. They can do it. I think this is definitely reinforced by adult role models.
Claim: Claims that President Abraham Lincoln once said, "The best way to predict the future is to create it." (Viral Quote, 2019-07-23)
Evidence (2021-02-11): Whenever there is a time of crisis and uncertainty in America, one thing is certain: Abraham Lincoln is going to get quoted—a lot. In the wake of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and lawmakers debating on impeaching Donald Trump for a second time during his last days in office, politicos on both sides of the aisle have claimed that the Civil War President would be on their side. When asked at a Feb. 4 press conference "why bother" going through with a second impeachment trial for the former President, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said "Ask Abraham Lincoln…You cannot go forward until you have justice." Before Trump’s second impeachment trial started, Republican National Committee chair and Trump supporter Ronna McDaniel urged Biden and Senate Democrats to "heed Lincoln’s words" and forego the trial to "bringing our badly divided country together." In Dec. 2019, a group of Republicans announced the founding of The Lincoln Project in the last year of the 2020 presidential campaign as an effort to defeat incumbent President Donald Trump and restore the Republican party’s reputation as the party of Lincoln. As Lincoln’s birthday on Feb. 12 and Presidents’ Day on Feb. 15 approaches, historians look back at the most notable recent uses and misuses of "the Great Emancipator’s" words. According to these historians of the Civil War and Reconstruction, Lincoln might not have been saying what people think.

Evidence (2022-10-12): At noon on Monday, March 4, 1861—a day that observers noted had dawned "cloudy and raw" but turned bright and warm—Abraham Lincoln emerged from the 14th Street NW door of Willard’s Hotel, accompanied by President James Buchanan. The two men rode together in an open carriage up Pennsylvania Avenue, bound for the covered platform that had been erected on the East Front for the presidential Inauguration. Double files of cavalrymen escorted the procession to the Capitol. Cross streets had been closed to secure the route in the event of attack. Sharpshooters were stationed on rooftops along the avenue, "with orders," an officer recalled, "to watch the windows on the opposite side, and to fire upon them in case any attempt should be made to fire from those windows on the presidential carriage." [...] Lincoln’s own sensibility—both moral and political—was founded on this injunction. "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master," he once said. "This expresses my idea of democracy." For Lincoln, a world in which power was all, in which the assertion of a singular will trumped all, in which force dictated all, was not moral but immoral, not democratic but autocratic, not just but unjust.

Evidence (2012-09-27): We will either succeed or fail together as a nation. According to management expert Peter Drucker, "The best way to predict the future is to create it."

For example, in 2008 the Commissioner of Social Security credited Lincoln with an instance using the word "create":16 "Abraham Lincoln once said, ‘The best way to predict your future is to create it,'" Commissioner Astrue said. [...] Peter admonished us in class: "You cannot predict the future, but you can create it." More popularly, this is stated as "The best way to predict the future is to create it."

Evidence (2017-08-02): This quote from Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States, gives a nod to the problematic issue of predicting the future. Some things in life are easy to agree about, others just seem to gender ire whenever discussed: Energy from Waste and its future appears to be one of them.
Claim: Claims that President Abraham Lincoln once said, "The best way to predict the future is to create it." (Viral Quote, 2019-07-23)
Evidence (2020-04-09): It is rightly said that the best way by which you can actually predict your future is by creating it. This is stated in a very abstract form, yet has a great notion hidden within it. We waste a huge portion of our time by thinking of things that would probably happen in the future. [...] Instead of getting carried away by our thoughts of future, we should focus on giving the best of ourselves. We should focus on being the best version of ourselves. Creating our future is no easy job. It takes a lot of hardship and effort but that at least, saves us from our regrets. Creating the future doesn’t mean chalking it out in the true sense. It simply means that you should focus on doing your best and not waiting for the future to turn things out for you.

Evidence (2019-09-16): The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum said there was no evidence of Lincoln saying those words. Library and museum spokesman Chris Wills said: "The quote about creating the future has been attributed to Lincoln for decades, and while there is no hard proof he ever said it, the sentiment certainly matches other things president Lincoln is documented to have said". [...] The quote’s origin has been variously attributed to two Nobel Prize winners, Ilya Prigogine and Dennis Gabor and to US management consultant and author Peter Drucker. Gabor, who won the Nobel prize for physics in 1971, wrote in his 1963 book, Inventing the Future: "The future cannot be predicted, but futures can be invented." Prigogne said: "The way to cope with the future is to create it" and Drucker has been widely credited with saying: "You cannot predict the future, but you can create it." Drucker’s quote came from his book, Drucker on Leadership: New Lessons from the Father of Modern Management (2009). Based on the evidence above, AAP FactCheck found the quote about predicting your future to be misattributed to Abraham Lincoln. A Lincoln academic confirmed to AAP FactCheck the quote is not by him and two other experts also say there is no evidence he uttered those words.

"Examples include, ‘If we never try, we shall never succeed’ or ‘You cannot fail, if you resolutely determine that you will not.’"

Evidence (2015-01-01): Almost from the beginning of his administration, abolitionists and radical Republicans pressured Abraham Lincoln to issue an Emancipation Proclamation. Although Lincoln personally abhorred slavery, he felt confined by his constitutional authority as president to challenge slavery only in the context of necessary war measures. He also worried about the reactions of those in the loyal border states where slavery was still legal. Lincoln is said to have summed up the importance of keeping the border states in the Union by saying "I hope to have God on my side, but I must have Kentucky."

Evidence (2021-12-12): Predicting the Future by Being Engaged in the Present [...] TH: I think civic engagement is one of the most critical strategies to save the world. We need to be engaged in our communities and influence what our future looks like, not just sit on the sidelines and complain. I believe that the future doesn’t just happen to us, we create the future with the decisions that we make today. KC: That reminds me of the quote often attributed to both Abraham Lincoln and Peter Drucker: "The best way to predict the future is to create it." Which also relates to my next question…You talk in your book about the skills that will be necessary in the future. Can you talk about the role of civic education in developing those skills?
