Claim: purports a recent tornado in North Carolina destroyed a Pfizer warehouse full of COVID-19 vaccines (Video, 2023-07-19)
Evidence (2023-09-25): In parallel to the work done to restart medicine production, Pfizer has also begun storing non-production related materials, such as packaging components, in a new warehouse secured as a temporary replacement to its HiRise warehouse, which was most affected by the tornado. After conducting all required quality assurance processes, Pfizer continues to package and release to distribution centers all medicines that were not impacted by the tornado. Pfizer has also initiated knowledge and documentation transfers (tech transfers) to facilitate product manufacturing at other sterile injectable sites in its network to accelerate the resupply of medicines. [...] This release contains forward-looking information about Pfizer’s ongoing efforts to recover from the damage caused by a tornado to Pfizer’s Rocky Mount, North Carolina manufacturing facility, including the resumption of production on its manufacturing lines, that involves substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Risks and uncertainties include, among other things, risks related to the ability to complete repairs to the facility, replacing damaged raw material and supplies and restoring full function to the site in the anticipated timeframe or at all; other business effects, including the effects of industry, market, economic, political or regulatory conditions; uncertainties regarding the impact of COVID-19; and competitive developments.

Evidence (2023-09-25): Major Pfizer plant in North Carolina restarts production 10 weeks after tornado damage A major Pfizer pharmaceutical plant in North Carolina that makes critical supplies for U.S. hospitals has restarted production about 10 weeks after it was heavily damaged by a tornado, the company announced Monday. [...] Parts of the massive plant's roofs were ripped open and pallets of medicine tossed around when the tornado touched down on July 19. But most of the damage was to a storage facility for raw materials, packaging supplies and finished medicines, rather than its medicine production areas, Pfizer said. No employees were hurt.

Evidence (2023-07-19): Key Pfizer Plant Damaged in Tornado Amid Drug Shortage - Company assessing production impact at North Carolina facility - Factory makes 25% of Pfizer’s injectables used in US hospitals [...] A Pfizer Inc. plant responsible for making a quarter of the company’s sterile injectables used at US hospitals suffered heavy damage from a tornado in North Carolina, potentially worsening an already deep drug shortage across the nation. All employees at the Rocky Mount facility are safe, Pfizer said in a statement. The drugmaker is assessing the damage to determine the impact on production.

Evidence (2023-07-21): The tornado that ripped through a major Pfizer pharmaceutical plant in North Carolina on Wednesday "almost completely destroyed" the plant’s warehouse, which stored raw materials, packaging supplies and finished medications awaiting release to hospitals across the United States, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said during a press conference on Friday. [...] Assessing the damage will be difficult, according to Pfizer, as only a small number of people have limited access to the facility due to hazards still present from the tornado. [...] Pfizer said in a statement that it is moving what it can to nearby sites for storage. The facility will remain closed while the damage continues to be assessed.
Claim: purports a recent tornado in North Carolina destroyed a Pfizer warehouse full of COVID-19 vaccines (Video, 2023-07-19)
Evidence (2023-07-19): Multiple Instagram posts shared July 19 claimed the Pfizer warehouse destroyed by a tornado was "full of Covid vaccines." [...] We rate the claim that the North Carolina Pfizer facility damaged by a tornado was "full of Covid vaccines" False. [...] Lead Stories, "Fact Check: COVID-19 Vaccines Are NOT 'Stocked' At NC Pfizer Facility Damaged By A Tornado," July 20, 2023
Claim: purports a recent tornado in North Carolina destroyed a Pfizer warehouse full of COVID-19 vaccines (Video, 2023-07-19)
Evidence (2023-07-25): No COVID-19 vaccines were affected by the tornado that damaged Pfizer’s North Carolina warehouse, which doesn’t produce the vaccines. But some misinformation spreaders are claiming vaccines were destroyed. [...] But misinformation purveyors began spreading a rumor online that the company’s COVID-19 vaccines were impacted by a tornado that damaged a North Carolina warehouse on July 19. For example, Graham Allen, a conservative commentator we’ve written about before, posted a video of the destruction on Instagram with text that said, "Gods work? A Pfizer Warehouse Full of Covid Vaccines Was Just DESTROYED BY A TORNADO in North Carolina." After another fact checker wrote about his post, Allen edited the caption to acknowledge that "COVID-19 Vaccines Are NOT ‘Stocked’ At NC Pfizer Facility Damaged By A Tornado," but the text on his video remained the same.
Claim: purports a recent tornado in North Carolina destroyed a Pfizer warehouse full of COVID-19 vaccines (Video, 2023-07-19)
Evidence (2023-07-21): Most of the damage from Wednesday’s tornado to a major Pfizer plant in North Carolina was to a warehouse facility, rather than areas that produce medicines, the drug giant said Friday. [...] Pfizer didn’t provide a detailed list of products made at the plant, but US Pharmacopeia, a nonprofit organization, said its Medicine Supply Map identified more than 150 medications made at the facility, about half of which are on the FDA essential medicines list. It said its review shows that many of the products made at the plant have been in shortage recently and were already at risk of falling into shortage before the tornado. [...] Bourla noted that employees at the Rocky Mount site, where 3,200 Pfizer employees and contractors work, were able to evacuate safely and reach storm shelters before the tornado hit Wednesday. He didn’t say how long the plant would be closed, but said all workers would be paid through the duration. Pfizer also said it would donate to the American Red Cross North Carolina Chapter and United Way Tar River Region to help support the community as it rebuilds.

Claim: purports a recent tornado in North Carolina destroyed a Pfizer warehouse full of COVID-19 vaccines (Video, 2023-07-19)
Evidence (2023-07-22): An initial inspection by the company found no major damage to its medicine manufacturing areas, and all 3,200 local employees are safe and accounted for. Pfizer Chairman and CEO Dr. Albert Bourla said staff are rushing products to nearby sites for storage and identifying sources to rapidly replace raw materials lost in the storm. The drug company says it is also exploring alternative manufacturing locations across its U.S. network to fill gaps in production while the North Carolina site remains closed for repairs. The FDA’s initial analysis identified fewer than 10 drugs for which Pfizer’s North Carolina plant is the sole source for the U.S. market, Califf said. The Rocky Mount plant produces anesthesia and many other drugs needed for surgeries but does not make or store Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine or the Comirnaty and Paxlovid treatments. Medications produced at that facility alone account for nearly 8 percent of all sterile injectables used in U.S. hospitals, Pfizer said on its website. The FDA said it will complete in the coming days a more extensive evaluation of the products that might be affected and the current domestic supply of those medications.

Evidence (2023-07-19): A tornado in North Carolina severely damaged a Pfizer plant, damaged several other structures, shut down a major interstate and injured at least 16 people Wednesday afternoon. [...] Some structures in the tornado’s path were flattened. Pfizer’s Rocky Mount facility suffered severe damage – video from helicopters showed the roof crumpled like paper and building debris scattered into the surrounding parking lot. There were no reports of injuries at the plant, according to a statement from the company. [...] The tornado toppled trees onto Interstate 95, the North Carolina Department of Transportation said, shutting the highway down in both directions for at least an hour before reopening.

As many as 500,000 pallets of medicine were destroyed in the disaster.
Claim: purports to show Jeffrey Epstein and Ted Kaczynski at a boys summer camp together (Image, 2023-06-12)
Evidence (2023-06-12): The original photo, taken at Interlochen Arts Camp in 1967, has been uploaded to the image-sharing website Smug Mug. Although Epstein did attend the camp, according to the Daily Beast, Kaczynski was already in high school in 1958, a Wikipedia image shows.
Claim: purports to show Jeffrey Epstein and Ted Kaczynski at a boys summer camp together (Image, 2023-06-12)
Evidence (1998-03-16): It seemed that, for all his indifference to student leftism, Kaczynski despised the status quo. He and David, who graduated from Columbia in 1970, bought 1.4 acres together in Montana, in high country just west of the Continental Divide. And that was where Ted lived—except for a few forays into the outside world to earn money at menial jobs and, later, to deliver bombs—for the next twenty-five years. He built a simple, ten-foot-by-twelve-foot cabin with two small windows, a woodstove, no electricity, no plumbing. He grew a garden, built a root cellar, hunted rabbits and deer, exchanged vegetables with neighbors, didn’t file a federal tax return. He rode an old bicycle five miles into the town of Lincoln for supplies, and spent a lot of time at the public library there. His parents visited him each summer for the first few years. David came several times, and then, emulating Ted, moved to his own patch of remote wilderness, in the west Texas desert. But Ted’s relations with his family became increasingly strained. In voluminous letters, he blamed them—particularly his mother, Wanda—for his shyness, his loneliness, his anxiety, his anger, even his height (he was shorter than David). Their visits ceased.
Claim: purports to show Jeffrey Epstein and Ted Kaczynski at a boys summer camp together (Image, 2023-06-12)
Evidence (2023-06-12): Kaczynski’s death comes as the federal Bureau of Prisons has faced increased scrutiny in the last several years following the death of Jeffrey Epstein, who also died by suicide in a federal jail in 2019. He was awaiting trial on sex abuse charges.
Claim: purports to show Jeffrey Epstein and Ted Kaczynski at a boys summer camp together (Image, 2023-06-12)
Evidence (2021-09-21): Epstein, who has been a journalist since 1980, looked at the return address and it said TJ Kaczynski. "The first thing that came to mind was Ted Kaczynski, and I thought "It can’t be him, it can’t be the Unabomber,"’ he said.

Claim: purports to show Jeffrey Epstein and Ted Kaczynski at a boys summer camp together (Image, 2023-06-12)
Evidence (2023-06-12): Following the death of Ted Kaczynski — the man dubbed the "Unabomber" who carried out a mail-bombing campaign from the 1970s to the 1990s — myriad claims about his life and connections appeared in social media. Among those was the claim that a viral picture shows Kaczynski with the late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein posing together for a group shot take when they were teenagers: [...] Viral tweets allege that the individual in the middle back row of this same photograph is Kaczynski. There is no evidence, however, that Kaczynski, who is 11 years older than Epstein, ever attended this or any other summer music camp. [...] Because Epstein and Kaczynski are not the same age, because the individual identified as Kaczynski in the Interlochen cabin photo does not match photos of him from the same time period, and because there is no evidence that Kaczynski attended Interlochen, the assertion that the photo contains both Epstein and Kaczynski is false. The photo, instead, shows Epstein and other boys of the same age in 1967.
Claim: purports to show Jeffrey Epstein and Ted Kaczynski at a boys summer camp together (Image, 2023-06-12)
Evidence (2023-06-27): Epstein's was one of several high-profile prison deaths in recent years. A year before Epstein died in the MCC, notorious Boston mob boss Whitey Bulger was murdered in a West Virginia federal prison. And on June 10, Ted Kaczynski, the so-called Unabomber who murdered three people and injured 23 more in mail bombings that spanned 17 years, died by suicide in a North Carolina federal prison medical center.
Claim: purports to show Jeffrey Epstein and Ted Kaczynski at a boys summer camp together (Image, 2023-06-12)
Evidence (2023-06-10): That's Ted Kaczynski. He may have had two good ideas for every bad one, but he was still a piece of shit who deserved to be isolated from society where he couldn't hurt anyone, and there are better advocates for whatever good came out of his head. [...] The point of Kaczynski is that both camps are mostly composed of middle-class Western academics living a sheltered life that are deciding who is socially accepted and who need to be cancelled. Our culture wars are not minorities shouting for a better life, our culture war is made of middle-class white people getting offended on behalf of minorities. They are no Martin Luther King, no Malcolm X, they just are posers that are making the racial (and gender and sexual) divide even worse than it is, by polarising or alienating the silent neutral majority.

Evidence (2020-01-01): 0:02:22.4 Peter: Thanks for coming to the recording. We are honored to be here, these are hallowed halls, of course, to alumn like Henry Kissinger, [laughter] Ted Kaczynski, Neil Gorsuch, right? Famous donors like Jeffrey Epstein, truly a magical institution. Sorry, Jay Willis, alright. And first of all, Jay, thank you, thank you for what was a pretty lengthy and heartfelt intro, I don't think any of us were ready. And that allows us the opportunity to intro David Enrich, who wrote a little book called "Servants of the Damned" last year, that was interesting enough that we thought it made sense to all speak together. The book is largely about the law firm, Jones Day. If you've been through OCI, you might have spoken to one of their awful partners.
Claim: purports to show Jeffrey Epstein and Ted Kaczynski at a boys summer camp together (Image, 2023-06-12)
Evidence (2023-10-23): However, that’s not quite what Ted is saying – he does advocate for sabotage, resistance, non compliance, disengagement and other fairly well established anarchist tactics. If only the French anarchists were still around, they’d have been putting sugar into the concrete used to build the Supermax prison and it’d have fallen down before it even opened to the criminal public. Then what would they have done, stick Ted in a cell next to Epstein? Just as an aside, if anyone wants to write an odd couple comedy about Ted Kaczynski and Jeffrey Epstein being cellmates, the email contact form is on my site.
Claim: purports to show Jeffrey Epstein and Ted Kaczynski at a boys summer camp together (Image, 2023-06-12)
Evidence (2023-06-10): David Kaczynski wanted his role kept confidential, but his identity quickly leaked out and Ted Kaczynski vowed never to forgive his younger sibling. He ignored his letters, turned his back on him at court hearings and described David Kaczynski in a 1999 book draft as a "Judas Iscariot (who) … doesn’t even have enough courage to go hang himself." Ted Kaczynski was born May 22, 1942, in Chicago, the son of second-generation Polish Catholics — a sausage-maker and a homemaker. He played the trombone in the school band, collected coins and skipped the sixth and 11th grades. His high school classmates thought him odd, particularly after he showed a school wrestler how to make a mini-bomb that detonated during chemistry class. Harvard classmates recalled him as a lonely, thin boy with poor personal hygiene and a room that smelled of spoiled milk, rotting food and foot powder. After graduate studies at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, he got a job teaching math at the University of California at Berkeley but found the work difficult and quit abruptly.
Claim: purports to show Jeffrey Epstein and Ted Kaczynski at a boys summer camp together (Image, 2023-06-12)
Evidence (2023-06-11): Kaczynski’s death comes as the federal Bureau of Prisons has faced increased scrutiny in the last several years following the death of wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein, who also died by suicide in a federal jail in 2019.

The video includes multiple photos of Maxwell pictured beside the popular Disney character, Donald Duck. The claim that Maxwell worked at Disney World in 1985 is false, however. The photos included in the Facebook video can be traced back to Getty Images and show an event organized by the British newspaper, The Mirror.
