the claim

Everyone is at the same risk of contracting COVID-19.

the verdict
REFUTED
the evidence says no
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that everyone is at the same risk of contracting COVID-19?

No. Evidence directly refutes the claim that everyone is at the same risk of contracting COVID-19, demonstrating that individual susceptibility varies due to host genetics and biological factors.

Verdict: REFUTED · 0 sources for, 2 against · Last checked

The analysis

The claim states that everyone is at the same risk of contracting COVID-19. Studies examining host genetics (e.g., GWAS identifying specific loci like ABO and SLC6A20) and human challenge trials explicitly demonstrate that susceptibility varies widely across individuals. Therefore, the claim is refuted by the literature.
