- Uploader: Sarah Fisher
- Metadata description says she questioned lab origin, PCR/case counting, masks, six-foot rule, asymptomatic hospital testing and the public story; says she was laughed at, called a conspiracy theorist, blackballed and fired.
- Cover text says: “Preparing for my Netflix documentary / How I was fired for questioning COVID and now 5 years later watching the truth come out.”

## Verification summary
- Verified from social metadata/thumbnail: Sarah Fisher makes the claim that she was fired/blackballed for questioning COVID narratives.
- Not independently verified in this pass: her specific employer, termination record, professional-discipline file, lawsuit, or documentary status.
- Verified broader context: the U.S. House COVID Select Subcommittee majority report says lab origin became a serious official finding, six-foot guidance was not strongly science-based/arbitrary, and mask evidence was disputed.
- Verified broader context: Cochrane’s 2023 review found pooled RCT evidence did not show a clear reduction in lab-confirmed respiratory viral infection from community medical/surgical masks, while emphasizing uncertainty/limitations.
- Verified broader context: CDC testing guidance says PCR/NAAT tests can remain positive up to 90 days after infection, so testing policy and case interpretation are more complex than a simple “positive = new active illness” frame.

## Evidence label
Personal retaliation claim unverified; broader COVID-questioning context partly verified from official/scientific sources.

## Guardrail
Do not state that every claim in the Reel is proven. Do state that several topics once treated as taboo or “conspiracy” are now openly debated in official reports, scientific reviews and public policy discussions.
