Excellent essay but I worry @ashishkjha, like most doctors, is missing the point. It wasn’t partisanship he encountered but denialism. The problem isn’t solved by promoting science but deprogramming disinfo that exploits motivated reasoning.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/24/opinion/hydroxychloroquine-covid.html?smid=tw-share …

But this is the game we’re in. Denying this sad fact won’t help us. We gotta be savvy. You gotta know the 5 tactics of denialism. You gotta read the debunking handbook. You gotta be ready for a Gish gallop. These aren’t debates, they’re rhetorical knife fights. Be prepared.

Have you thought about doing podcasts? Or going on YT debate channels or call in shows like The Line? It seems like many doctors and scientists frown upon it but that's why so much misinformation has spread. The quacks are all over YouTube.
