        Thesis: science alone cannot do anything to stop, or even substantially slow, the spread of disinformation. That is a political problem & can only be solved by politics.

        Also curious if scientists speaking out more to address partisan misinfo would impact public perceptions of them. ( @matt_motta might be the expert here, w/ his work on the March for Science & scientists running for office)

        I object to the "both sides of the political spectrum" conclusion. Unlike the Right, which is lockstep with the #AntiScience #ClimateDenial, the #AntiVax is a fringe view and not represented by the mainstream left.

        The authors made a big error when they assumed that anti-vaxxers are all or mostly on the Left. That is false. Lots of vaccine refusers are on the Right. In particular, many anti-vaxxers are on the Christian Right or the libertarian right.

        They may have based this perception via false reports, such as when John Oliver smeared @DrJillStein as anti-vax.

        Replying to @FiascoLinguini @Jeff_d_corbin and

        Try again. (Link correctly places a portion of the blame on the Right, but also says that Jill Stein was cozy with anti-vaxxers). Anti-vaxxers are usually on one or the other extreme of the political spectrum. Rarely are they in the reasonable center. https://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2016/08/01/jill-stein-and-left-wing-antivaccine-dog-whistles …

        Equating Jill Stein with the GOP as a kind of "both sides do it" is dishonest.
