🚨New post from @ViralityProject — "How Debunked Science Spreads” in which our analysts explore a fundamental tactic for anti-vaccine advocates online: spreading manipulated statistics and debunked scientific research. viralityproject.org/rapid-re… (1/7)
More recently, these tactics have been used to spread more than vaccine misinformation, such as underpinning arguments that set precedent in law & policy, further threatening the legitimacy and validity of established health science and guidance. politifact.com/factchecks/20… (6/7)
🔔 New blog post: Adapting to shifts in consensus. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, scientific consensus has shifted on a number of topics, from the origin of the virus, to the transmission mechanisms, to possible cures. viralityproject.org/policy-a… (1/9)
Open version management, inclusiveness of viewpoints, and clear rules for engagement would all help address the specific brand of distrust caused by shifts in scientific and political discourse. (8/9)
