Fair enough, but you cited Gen Z repackaging of healthcare information as though it already existed. I assumed that meant you knew of examples because that's what it sounded like. Are you saying it doesn't yet?

Agree with Austin.
@gorskon, with much respect I think you may be underestimating the impact of the power of multiple voices to resonate. That’s what drowning out means.3 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

I'm not. Just ask

This is, in it’s own way, a hilarious proof of the problem. Multiple experts keep telling you this is false, this isn’t how it works, even linking evidence, and look! It doesn’t change their belief! What am I not surprised? Because that’s what the evidence shows.

Even scientifically-literate folks, people who are trying to communicate science are resistant to the facts! It’s hilarious. Human heuristics are not rational. The belief in the information deficit theory and “informed debate” will not die, they are as fixed as religion.

Yep. We even know that just disconfirming facts can actually harden belief in misinformation. (Humans are very good at motivated reasoning, particularly the more intelligent and educated ones.) Where Dr. Chiang does better is in realizing how stories matter more.

@MarkHoofnagle about irrationality...but many are using that in their favor. It might look like pretty photos, but folks like@drrupawong can get convey awesome strabismus education to dedicated non-medical followers and trainees.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

Well, we’ll be happy to be proven wrong. But if you are actually interested in countering disinfo rather than just medical boosterism and information dissemination we can be a source of expertise. In my experience however, most docs don’t have the stomach for it.

All too true, and there's a reason. I can provide a list of around 40 libelous articles published about me within a year and a half by one source alone, for instance.

I do., however, Mark. I'd love to be proven wrong on this. It would make things so much easier.
