Claim: Social media users shared a range of false claims this week. Here are the facts: Italy has not launched a "Family Pride Month" as a counterpoint to events celebrating the LGBTQ+ community. Videos show fire officials burning part of a forest in Canada to curb the spread of a wildfire; they don't show the wildfire being started. There is no substantiation for a claim being recirculated by a conspiracy theory film that a medication killed more AIDS patient than the disease itself. Pfizer didn't "funnel" $12 million to CNN's Anderson Cooper to promote vaccines, contrary to a widespread claim.
