Also, when Rand Paul made that claim (he is someone whose misinformation I wrote about in the paper of record so not a fan), it is better to greet it with less attention. The exaggerated debunking was more harmful than his message (he has no constituency among the masking crowd).

And, once again, role of attention and framing, strategic silence, when the debunking efforts actually misfire, how the misinformation crowd and grifters uses openings/failings among experts to gain headway... Those are very very much my fields.
