On Thursday, Axios published an article which made false claims about conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and a statement he made regarding COVID-19 vaccines.
The outlet reported that Justice Thomas stated that COVID-19 vaccines are created with cells derived from “aborted children.” However, Thomas was citing petitioners’ claims in his written dissent and did not say it as fact. Thomas dissented to the Supreme Court’s refusal to hear a case on Thursday which challenged New York’s vaccine mandate based on religion.
In the written dissent , Thomas said, “Petitioners are 16 healthcare workers who served New York communities throughout the COVID–19 pandemic. They object on religious grounds to all available COVID–19 vaccines because they were developed using cell lines de- rived from aborted children.”
It’s obvious that the Justice was paraphrasing the lawsuit, but Axios decided to mislead readers by issuing a “reality check” on the Thomas’ statements. A reality check is similar to a “fact check.”
“Reality check: No coronavirus vaccine in the U.S. contains the cells of aborted fetuses,” Axios said.
Adding, “Some vaccines have used fetal cell lines during the early stages of the vaccine development, but the final products do not contain fetal cells. Additionally, these fetal cells came from elective abortions “performed decades ago.”
The outlet was forced to update the article and released an editor’s note after receiving backlash across social media for publishing the false allegations.
“Editor’s note: The headline and lead of this story have been updated to note Thomas was referencing cells of “aborted children” in his dissent,” Axios said.We’re independent and can’t be cancelled. The establishment media is increasingly dedicated to divisive cancel culture, corporate wokeism, and political correctness, all while covering up corruption from the corridors of power. The need for fact-based journalism and thoughtful analysis has never been greater. When you support The […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
