    Vaccines Bring COVID’s Risk Down to Flu The risk of COVID death in VACCINATED people aged 0-85 years is less than a flu death! Flu kills ~0.1% of patients. See graph below and rejoice!

    Disinformation is most important when money is involved. Paid disinfo campaigns require specific methods to reveal and counteract.

    Replying to @dfreelon
    We've been debating the misinfo/disinfo distinction as an analtyic concept. I think disinfo is a safer concept to apply because you don't have to knit pick details of fact but can look at the overall misrepresentative behavior. The big unsettling debate we hit then is...

    Many Americans actually believe this. MSM = liberal = lies. People I agree with tell me the truth. Period, end of story.

    Replying to @dfreelon
    The mainstream media constantly lies and sells their narrative. So, there is demand for the narrative that recognizes those lies and attempt to paint a more accurate picture of the world. Even CNN could get it's viewers back if they started telling the truth.

    Also, I'm quoted in this article and it does not label BS or the DW "misinformation." Asserting that it does is, ironically, disinformation.

    The thing I don't get about this is, most half decent academics are smart, right? I mean, don't you want to talk to and work with the smart ones?

    Replying to @dfreelon
    I'm late to the party but would say for students, maybe it's being intimidated because you're so dang smart? I was a bit until I met you personally and we talked few times, but that's likely more about my imposter syndrome than you anyway. :) Anyway, I'm going with crazy smart.

    The replies to this thread have been quite flattering. 💗 But I promise I wasn't fishing for compliments. Mostly I wanted to make sure I wasn't doing or saying super problematic things without knowing.

    Anyway, if you ever have anything you want to say to me, I'm usually pretty nice as long as I've eaten recently.

    As a local spelling bee champ in high school (you're shocked, I'm sure), I have some feelings about the facts recounted in this thread.

    Some outlets say Zaila Avante-Garde is the first Black woman to win the Scripps National Spelling Bee, but she’s the 1st AFRICAN AMERICAN Jody-Anne Maxwell from Jamaica won in 1998 Others say she’s won the NATIONAL SPELLING BEE, which is an interesting story… A thread

    Avoid the vague jargon "officer-involved" or "police-involved." Be specific about what happened. If police use the term, ask for detail. How was the officer or officers involved? Who did what? If that information is not available or not provided, say so.

    Instead of showing me your diversity statement, show me your hiring data, your discrimination claim stats, your salary tables, your retention numbers, your diversity policies, and your leaders’ public actions against racism. End performative allyship.
