General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: None required.

Overall: Article is long enough, has adequate sourcing, and the hook is verifiable. However, the article has a bit too much close paraphrasingfor my liking. I also think that this article's hook could be better to be something like this:

• ALT2: that the The Exposé's false claims that COVID-19 was created by Moderna was republished by Chinese state media outlets? Source: Polygraph.info, Agence France-Presse, PolitiFact Spodle^Talk 01:41, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

• @Spodle I updated the first hook to your suggestion and made some changes to the content of the article. Hope it's better now. Isi96 (talk) 14:50, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

@Isi96: Close paraphrasing is much less noticeable. Nom ready for DYK. Spodle^Talk 01:02, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
