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 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.

I'll send you a DM. I suspect there's some overlap but we're ALWAYS game to learn from others - we just want to add to the collective effort.

Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@DrPaulOffit, granted his twitter presence is just press release. But in meatworld he is highly experienced. Should follow to scicommers like@skepticscience because the relationship between all denialism is the similar. And@cult_cognition for the science of scicom. -
Medicine is decades behind AGW comms I think. Partially because many of our public docs are captured by crankery. Partially because we are trained to believe in information deficit theory.
