The mission of combating medical misinformation is to counter misinformation by sharing empirical data on common topics of medical misinformation and directing attention to avenues of change for a safer future.Â
We live in a golden age of misinformation online, which has serious real-life consequences. People taking medicines for unintended purposes, ingesting dangerous chemicals, and avoiding important medical care are all symptoms of medical misinformation. The current Secretary of Health is responsible for popularizing blatantly false medical claims. Medical misinformation endangers lives and is being spread by political officials recklessly without consequence. Combating Medical Misinformation aims to foster a safer future devoid of harmful misinformation. To accomplish this, we will share research and data that addresses common topics of medical misinformation, and we will hold those in power accountable for spreading dangerous misinformation.
