    It's easy to mock people who believe falsehoods about #COVID19 / #5G #vaccines, but our ire ought be reserved for those peddling nonsense, not those who fall victim to the arrogance of charlatans & fools. Dinformation costs lives.https://twitter.com/mariannaspring/status/1297947223502860290 …

    NEW 🚨 A taxi driver from Florida, who believed false claims that coronavirus was a hoax, has lost his wife to Covid-19. The couple didn't follow health guidance after reading on social media that the virus was fake, linked to 5G or like the flu. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-53892856 …

        Often the case alas. But there's a particular type of conspiracy theory narcissist who create these videos and memes and pages and drag other people into it

        I feel really bad for them. She has lost her life and he has to live with that. Only good that might come from this is maybe his friends and family who might have believed the disinformation will change their view.

        You've gotta wonder just how many people, family and friends, they may have infected.

        I think a major failing of science is the lack of understanding among public of levels of evidence in research e.g.diff between RCT v opinion blog by an expert.very frustrating when you see someone using a screenshot from pubmed as evidence with no hint of analysis of the piece!

        This lack of knowledge regarding evidence evaluation allows false equivalence and confirmation bias.

        Antivax Disinformation amplifies social division. Samoa had 2 cases of human error MMR vaccine deaths in 2018. Community concern over the program was exaggerated by an Antivax Biological Cyberwarfare campaign. Vaccine rates fell and a measles outbreak in 2019 killed 63 children.
