      Critical thinking skills and education about disinformation, as well as about conspiracy theories, what they are, how and why they develop, how to recognize them, how to combat them. Pretty much all science denial and disinformation has one out more conspiracy theories being it.

          I taught thinking skills last year to smart kids. The emotional roadblock that prevents otherwise intelligent people from putting what they learn into practice describes how media literacy fails in the critical population of Trumpers.

          We have to hold ourselves and people in our social networks accountable for the info we share online. We can make mistakes and that’s ok as long as we correct it in the same media we shared the misinformation. If not corrected we should pay a social price of being shunned.

          Agree. And would welcome pointers to simple accessible tools on how to do just that. Thank you.

          I find combatting disinformation is one of the biggest challenges of practicing medicine. Disturbs me that patients choose to believe this crap and not what their doctor recommends. Like why would I recommend something harmful?
