A photo that claims to depict the family tree of World Economic Forum (WEF) Founder Klaus Schwab includes multiple inaccuracies. Posts online are taking it as evidence he is related to the Rothschild banking dynasty on his mother’s side. The same image of the family tree appeared online as early as July 2021 in a conspiracy thread on Reddit (here). KLAUS SCHWAB PARENTSThe family tree notes an accurate birth year for Klaus Schwab, but the names of his parents are incorrect. The photo shared on social media includes multiple inaccuracies to falsely link Klaus Schwab to the Rothschild banking dynasty.

Judges presiding over a German court case between 2013 and 2016 involving the measles virus settled a civil dispute about a promised payment and did not rule on the existence of the virus itself, contrary to social media posts falsely claiming the courts decided the virus does not exist. However, judges presiding over the case and subsequent appeals to which the articles refer did not rule on the existence of the measles virus, and expressly said this in court. Dr. David Bardens, a medical student, responded to Lanka’s measles virus challenge on Jan. 31, 2012. He submitted six studies (see citations in clause 21 here) which, Bardens said, provided Lanka with proof that the measles virus exists, and of its size. They did not rule on the existence or non-existence of the measles virus.
