      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 …

      we doctors just can't let the forces of darkness win this neverending fight... some things have to be done. at a governmental scale for instance in France we might be on the edge of stopping the reimbursment of homeopathy.

      I didn't say do nothing. What I did say is that trying to drown out the misinformation with good information is a strategy doomed to fail. Dr. Chiang is using the "knowledge deficit" model of combating pseudoscience, which is incomplete ad largely wrong.https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/jama-on-medical-misinformation/ …

      Doctors aren’t trained in scicomm or counterpropaganda. The response to the disinformed is different than the uniformed. The battle against disinfo is about assymetric warfare with crooks and ideologues against information authorities not “education.”

      It is good to have a rapid response team to disinfo. They will need to be armed with more than just information to succeed. They need to be versed in disinfo tactics, in particular.

      Hi Mark, are these disinformation tactics published somewhere? Asking for a webinar I’m soon to conduct on social media for psychologists…

      And then there is my and @hoofnagle’s description of denialism from 2007 when we were writing at Science Blogs (now unfortunately bought out by astroturfers of the ACSH) https://denialism.com/about/

      Hank Campbell is no longer the president of ACSH, actually, and hasn't been for almost a year now.

          Think that will change them? They still have that brat Berezow and that guy who accused you of being celibate therfore unworthy. It is amazing how often it boils down to toxic masculinity...

          No, I don't. It just means that Hank and Science 2.0 own Sb now, and there's no longer a direct connection to ACSH. That's bad enough.
