So here it is: a big ol' factcheck on a range of claims made on a leaflet dropped into some homes in Dublin recently. For such a small leaflet, it packs a lot of misinformation, some of it potentially dangerous.

Tweet card media

FactCheck: Many of the claims made about Covid-19 in a leaflet sent to Dublin households are false...

The leaflet was distributed in the name of Anti-Corruption Ireland, an anti-government group.
