      I admire his enthusiasm, but "drowning out" quackery and medical misinformation with good information just doesn't work. wish him luck, but I wish he'd also talk to those of us who've been at just this thing for many years, like @MarkHoofnagle and others.https://www.cnbc.com/2019/05/31/doctor-recruiting-doctors-to-fight-fake-health-info-on-social-media.html …

      I'm on the founding team of @AHSM_org and we all knew to chat with veterans and experts in the arena prior to forming the organization. And we're actively seeking to collaborate with all healthcare professionals - those new to social media and those who've been at it for years.

      Well if you’re seeking to combat vaccine and health disinfo, you haven’t been talking to the right people. Who are your scicomm experts? This is a field of academic study after all.

      I was wondering the very same thing, but refrained from coming right out and asking for the simple reason that I was more interested in whether this org is truly serious about combatting online medical misinformation and knew what it was getting into.

      We're more than serious. It isn't about "being influencers", it's about building a platform for those who already are experts in the area and increasing the outreach. And not just fighting misinformation...we can help with advocacy, lobbying, etc

      OK, here's where I out-blunt Mark a little. How? "Building a platform" is so vague as to be nearly meaningless. I already have multiple platforms. What about yours will be so much better and effective?

      It's just a different approach. Can you share some of your platforms and/or any relevant Instagram/social handles? I suspect instead of competition, there's a great way to collaborate.

      Why are you guys so hung up on Instagram? That's not where the action is when it comes to antivax misinformation and indoctrination. Facebook and Twitter are by far more of a problem. All the popular antivaxers use FB and Twitter as their primary social media, plus their websites

          They being said, I run two highly trafficked blogs, @ScienceBasedMed (a group blog I edit, with associated FB page and Twitter) and my personal blog at @oracknows. There's my Twitter feed. @stevennovella had been at this longer than me.

          I can provide lists of blogs, FB pages, Twitter feeds belonging to people who've been combatting online medical misinformation for years, even decades. I've been at it 15 years, and was on Usenet for 5 years before that, including doctors, lay people, scientists.

          We aren't by any means. That just happens to be where we started. We definitely want to collaborate with other savvy groups on other platforms. I can't speak for everyone, but I've personally had way more fruitful chats with vaccine hesitant parents on IG than any platform.

          IG was the first social media platform Dr. Chiang mentioned too. I notice that sums of your board don't even have Twitter handles listed, which struck me as quite odd.
