False: The European Parliament has declared that COVID-19 is a fraud at a recent conference. The claim that the European Parliament has declared COVID-19 a fraud is false. A video from a conference held in a parliamentary building is used to support the claim. The event was hosted by a group of MEPs and featured speakers with a history of spreading COVID misinformation. A European Parliament representative told AAP FactCheck it was not an official event and the European Union’s legislative body does not support its views. (Source: Australian Associated Press - AAP)
