Completely disagree. There is so much misinformation from top authorities. Mark my word, this is Iraq War redux. Authorities we normally trust are spreading a lot of misinformation. (Masks are the biggest but not only example).

Replying to @sivavaid @katestarbird
I have a running list. Masks are the worst. It's so wrong that it will go down in history. So, WHO misinformed us on human-to-human and asymptomatic transmission. That's how we got a pandemic. WHO misinformed us on travel bans. That was insanely wrong, too.

CDC misinformation has helped turn this into a terrible epidemic in NYC, with masks leading the top. It's not a marginal issue. It's perhaps the number one tool in the arsenal. CDC just issued a bullshit advisory targeting only NYC/NJ after Trump quarrel with Coumo.

(Mask misinformation, by the way, is one key reason why nursing homes have outbreaks).

In general, I think the academic field of misinformation is fighting the last war. Social media disinformation is real, but nothing compared to the WHO/CDC crisis which will go down in history as one of the biggest failures in their history, if not the biggest.

(You'll note I'm not mentioning Trump admin misinformation! That's a whole other ball of wax.) The stuff on masks is honestly Saddam had WMD level misinformation. Health authorities in Hong Kong or Taiwan aren't idiots and the evidence is not even complicated.

The WHO (denying human-to-human and asymptomatic transmission and travel bans) was their top leadership kowtowing to whatever the CCP message at the time was. It clearly wasn't just mistakes. Mask story will have more layers, but still misinformation. Anyway, complicated world!
