A roundup of some of the most popular but completely untrue stories and visuals of the week.

ClaimGeorgia's new anti-voting law makes it a jail-time crime to drop off grandma's absentee ballot in a drop box.

The factsDelivering grandma's ballot won't land you behind bars in Georgia, despite posts on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter falsely claiming it will.The election bill, known as SB 202, signed into law on March 25, has an exception allowing people to drop off ballots on behalf of their relatives. Social media posts making the false claim referenced an excerpt from the law that says any person who “accepts an absentee ballot from an elector for delivery or return to the board of registrars except as authorized by subsection (a) of Code Section 21-2-385 shall be guilty of a felony.”However, that referenced section of the Georgia code also explains that family members — including grandchildren and grandparents — can mail or deliver ballots for each other.

ClaimCOVID-19 tests cause cancer because they are sterilized with ethylene oxide.

The factsEthylene oxide is a gas commonly used to sterilize medical equipment. It is also used in the sterilization of spices and cosmetics.While it is listed by federal agencies as a carcinogen with long-term exposure, experts say the gas is used only in small amounts to sterilize COVID-19 testing kits and would not present cancer hazard. A video being shared online makes the claim citing nose swab tests used for COVID-19 detection. In the video, a man illustrates the point using a COVID-19 home test kit from the National Health Service in the United Kingdom, which has a label noting it was sterilized with ethylene oxide. “They are purposely killing us,” the man says. “It is one of the worst, worst chemicals for causing cancer and people are sticking it up their kids' noses to get them into school.” But ethylene oxide is not a component of the test.Dr. Alexander Edwards, an associate professor in biomedical technology at the University of Reading in England, told The Associated Press that the gas is used in the sterilization process because it does not affect the product like heat or steam would when used in the sterilization process.“It's not going to be present in any meaningful way at the time that you actually opened your test,” Edwards said.According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ethylene oxide is often used to sterilize medical equipment that are moisture or heat sensitive. Posts making the false claims were shared on TikTok, Facebook and Instagram.

ClaimFirst lady Jill Biden gave a speech with the Nazi flag in the background.

The factsOn Wednesday, Biden made a visit to The Forty Acres, the first headquarters of the United Farm Workers labor union, in Delano, Calif., and gave a speech in front of the union's flag — not a Nazi flag. The flag features a black eagle surrounded by a white circle on a red background.Yet multiple social media users made false claims about the flag.Lauren Araiza, an associate professor who teaches history at Denison University, called the effort to draw similarities between the eagle used on the UFW flag and the one associated with the Nazis “ridiculous.” Araiza said the eagle on the red and black flag was something Mexican Americans could easily relate to. “It's based on the Aztec eagle, and they made it stylized in that way because they wanted a graphic that anybody could draw and then it would be easily printable,” said Araiza, author of the book, “To March for Others: The Black Freedom Struggle and the United Farm Workers.”

ClaimThe sports apparel company Nike is releasing a shoe dedicated to Satan.
