How your misinformation sausage gets made: News outlets and commentators across the political spectrum are making hay of the supposed walkout by doctors at a Palm Beach County hospital this morning, in response to Florida's surge of Covid cases among the unvaccinatedpic.twitter.com/KIZiVSHUEV
Everyone's wielding this walkout as a club to hammer their own agenda. Ron DeSantis is a monster! No, doctors are heartless elites! The problem is, there was no walkout. No one walked off their jobs. There was just a press conference. My father-in-law was one of the doctors.pic.twitter.com/FFbZGqCt5j
The misreporting may have started with MSNBC's "Morning Joe." They've since changed the segment description online to "doctors voice frustration" but this incorrect tweet is still up 2+ hours later.pic.twitter.com/l6fydXFPZU
"Doctors walk off the job" is obviously sexier framing than "Off-duty doctors do a press conference" so that's the framing that took. Everyone was so busy coming up with a take that confirmed their priors that they didn't bother to ask if it actually happened.
Beautiful to do a thread about people rushing to interpret new information in a way that reconfirmed their preexisting beliefs and get this response. (Also, twitter for iPad???)pic.twitter.com/8LXSyjHgkY
Oh so it was a *mainstream* outlet's careless/inaccurate reporting and headlining that generated this misinformation? Who's going to take responsibility for that?
The 75 Palm Beach Florida doctors that “walked out” apparently “walked out” of a “walk-IN” clinic...not a hospital with in-patients as article implies... https://wfla.com/community/health/coronavirus/75-florida-doctors-stage-walkout-in-protest-of-unvaccinated-covid-19-patients/ … 75 Florida doctors stage walkout in protest of unvaccinated COVID-19 patients
same “hospital in the video”...same address over the door. http://pbim.com Internal Medicine Services - Palm Beach Internal Medicine
My cousins Husband was an alcoholic, needed a liver transplant, he quit drinking, he got the transplant, he started drinking again, needed another transplant and they refused to treat him, Then He died. We all need to be accountable. DONT TREAT THE UNVACCINATED
