Claim: Social media users shared a range of false claims this week. Here are the facts: There is no scientific evidence that root canals cause heart attacks; the false claim stems from 1920s research that has been disproved through controlled research studies. A decision by federal officials to use updated COVID-19 vaccines was not made because of safety concerns about the original shots. Videos shared on social media show behind-the-scenes footage from a film about the Russia-Ukraine war; it doesn't show people "staging" war footage. A new United Nations report doesn't call for decriminalizing sexual activity between adults and minors.
