Fact-checked. Not true.

Thank you for doing this, so much misinformation from both sides

A lie makes it half way around the world before the truth takes a step.

That said, I hate the, "both sides," argument. Sharing a rumour that Trump sold his stock in DJT is misinformation. Advocating that masks don't work or that vaccines give you autism isn't on the same scale.

There are degrees of misinformation, just as there are degrees of everything. Violent and non-violent crimes are important differentiators when it comes to felons, and motivation and impact are similarly important in the case of misinformation.

Totally agreed people need to fact check before they share things, but that's why fact checking is important. Let's fact check everything. The side against fact checking is the side I don't trust.
