Alec Baldwin’s assassinated director of photography was not working on a documentary on Hollywood’s pedophile networks.
False claim: Screenshots of a supposed news item have been posted on social media, stating that director of photography Halyna Hutchins, who died on October 21, 2021 after being shot by actor Alec Baldwin on the set of a movie, was working on a documentary on pedophile gangs in Hollywood.
Truth:
- Craig Mizrahi, Hutchins’ agent, claimed in a statement to the press that she “was not working on, involved with, or approached by any impending documentaries,” and that her sole projects were “conventional narrative films.”
- WorldGreyNews.com, a “False News generator” that enables anyone to create their own headlines and fake news, published the item circulated on social media. The site identifies itself in its “About” section as follows: “The purpose of this website is to have fun.” It should be used for lighthearted banter with your pals. The content is not our responsibility.”
- The phony report implies that Hutchins’ murder was linked to a well-known QAnon conspiracy theory that Hollywood celebrities are members of a satanic pedophilia organization that former President Donald Trump was seeking to expose during his presidency.

Truth:
- The British government stated in September that Jaguar Land Rover will supply 240 electric cars to transport officials between their accommodation and the conference location.
- Because there aren’t enough charging stations in Glasgow to keep all of the batteries charged, the conference organizers chose to utilize hydrotreated vegetable oil generators, which aren’t fossil fuels and emit much less pollutants than conventional diesel.

- “There is no known association between any COVID-19 vaccination and the development of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome,” the HIV/AIDS Committee of the Brazilian Society of Infectology (SBI) writes on its website. The statement further emphasizes that those living with HIV/AIDS should get all of their COVID-19 vaccination doses.
