A reply to me today touted "150 papers proving masks don't work."🤨
5 mins of digging showed most were old ARTICLES from iffy sources like AIER and the like, but rando #antivaxxers think "MORE = BETTER #SCIENCE!" while ignoring quality.🙄⛔️
#VetSources #misinformation #COVID19
Folks, you were right and I was wrong. @User3629261837362926 and @ilovemyownfartsmell showed me a graph from a 1987 NY Times stating masks don’t work so I was clearly wrong and own that. My apologies. I’ll be letting all health care professionals know that masks are dumb now.
An amazing chart from @LogicofScience showing the reliability of #scientific evidence.
Note how it excludes unreliable sources from the hierarchy.😊
Fight #fakenews, #misinformation and #disinformation about #science by learning to #vetsources for bias and factual accuracy.📚✅
FYI, this #climatechange #denier list keeps making the rounds. It's made by the #AEIR, a #fossilfuel-funded #misinformation agency:
"50 Years of Failed Doomsday, Eco-pocalyptic Predictions"

It's neatly debunked by BONUS below. #ClimateCrisis #VetSources
@latimeralder Your list debunked :
The rapid rise of new video-sharing sites that thrive on #misinformation and hate show why it's so vital to #vetsources for bias and factual accuracy:
https://t.co/lfhivDTQUG
#BeAware of such sites hosting #conspiracy #trollnoise about #COVID19, #vaccines and more, folks.🤨⚠️
2/3 To defeat them, be as prepared as possible:
- know the basic #science of #climatechange
- know how to #vetsources for bias/accuracy
- know which sites/#deniers are popular
- keep lists of #refutations handy
Most of all: DON'T ARGUE. Present the FULL facts calmly, in detail.
Sharing one's uninformed opinions with others on #socialmedia who have the same knowledge gaps is dangerous (ie. #antivaxxers, #racists, etc).🤨
Use #CriticalThinking skills, logic and reason to be FULLY informed on any subject. Also #VetSources for bias and factual accuracy.✅
Exactly: the spread of #misinformation and #disinformation on #socialmedia made #COVID19 #vaccines and #MaskMandates 'issues' for a confused and scared public.☣️😷
Which is why it's so vital to keep exposing #trollnoise and show people how #vetsources to help us all #StaySafe.✅
THIS is why it's VITAL to teach folks to #vetsources, to spot #misinformation and #disinformation that's EVERYWHERE on #socialmedia.
Videos often leave out the FULL facts. In this case it's 100% #pseudoscience: #perpetualmotion machines are ALWAYS a fake:

My twitter feed over the last 72 hours…
This is the funniest, sharpest take on #misinformation and #disinformation on #socialmedia I've yet seen! 😂
I'll be using #MeResearch to refer to such things from now on - well done, @saraschaefer1!👍🥰
As always: #ListenToExperts, #VetSources and use #CriticalThinking, folks!
MeResearch is a new program for “doing your own research.”
It works with real experts who have found a niche being a contrarian: they bring credibility to your false narrative in exchange for you making them feel like a celebrity!

From @Julescelt:
"I distinguish between #misinformation and #disinformation: the former is just not knowing a subject. The latter is intentional misdirection, obfuscation, and sometimes, lying."
Learn to #vetsources, #ListenToExperts and educate yourself about #science, folks.
2/2 Some solid, reputable places to #vetsources are:
- https://t.co/xzXrJIcRr7

- the 'Media Bias Chart' at https://t.co/V6rEsrC8fq

Be #skeptical AND well-informed.📚✅🤔🔎😊
ALWAYS #vetsources to spot #misinformation, #disinformation or #fakenews. Blogs, fringe websites and (most) videos AREN'T reputable, so learn how #grifters, #deniers and others spread doubt and attack #experts to profit from public confusion on issues like #COVID19.☣️🤔
1/2 ctd.
If you find yourself worshipping fringe experts, alternative medicine gurus, and physicians who have been sanctioned for spreading misinformation, then you might want to rethink where you’re getting your health information—and maybe your life and what you’re doing more generally.
PS - credit goes to Edward Clark for his informative post! 👍 😁
Remember folks: there's PLENTY of information sources out there of ALL kinds. Don't rely on portals like Google to find them, and be sure to #vetsources for bias and factual accuracy when you're searching them.🔎🤔
*sighs* Folks, crazy takes like Theo's about the #FreedomConvoy2022 are perfect examples of how #misinformation spreads RAPIDLY from disreputable sources like @FoxNews.🤨
Sadly, people lacking #CriticalThinking skills will just eat it up, thinking it's true.
Always #vetsources!
Theo Fleury just said on Fox News that there are 1.4 million people heading to Ottawa in the trucker convoy. 1.4 million.
