Reframing misinformation as informational-systemic risk in the age of societal volatility | HKS Misinformation Review When a bank run, a pandemic, or an election spirals out of control, the spark is often informational. In 2023, rumors online helped accelerate the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. During COVID-19, fal...

"In response to the global #misinformation crisis, education and media #literacy remain the most common solutions. The assumption is that if people are taught to spot #falsehoods, they will be more resilient to manipulation."

DHS keeps making false claims about people. It's part of a broader pattern Trump administration officials have falsely linked Alex Pretti and Renee Macklin Good to domestic terrorism. It's part of a larger pattern by the Department of Homeland Security.

Healthcare Workers Share The Common Medical Myths That Drive Them Crazy It's safe to say the majority of people have a somewhat romanticized view of medicine, largely owing to soap operas or prime time medical dramas. Others have an equally skewed, if somewhat sadder, grasp on medicine, after being raised to fear or not trust doctors. Regardless of where their misinformation comes from, there is little that will get medical professionals more agitated than hearing these false, ill-informed beliefs. As it makes getting the facts about medicine out all the more difficult. **Redditor****keyzeyy was curious to hear the myths and misinformation about medicine that get medical professionals particularly riled up, leading them toask:** > _"People who work in healthcare, what is a common medical myth that drives you crazy?"_ ** ### This Shouldn't Come As A Shock... ** _"That you shock someone when their heart rate is a flat line. This is always in tv and movies. When there is no heartbeat, there is no rhythm to shock. You have to get the heart going first.

And more often than not, they've put off treatment so long that palliative is all we can give them."_ _"It's starting to turn around."_ _"So many have seen their parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, suffer after going to these places, that the younger generation is coming to us and staying with us."-_ Late_Resource_1653 ### Men Have No Idea How Easy They Have It... _"That menopause is just when you stop having periods."_ _"Ignores completely what we know about perimenopause symptoms starting for women as early as their 30s."_ _"And for women who have stopped menstruating, HRT causes cancer and therefore you should avoid it."_ _"Plus at least a dozen other myths about menopause."-_ Barbarella_ella ### Keep It Out Of Your Ears Too! _"Using hydrogen peroxide directly on wounds."_ _"Refusal to accept that it is harmful and that plain water or mild/dilute soap/water is better."-_ mm_mk Foam Reaction GIF Giphy ### There's Just No Stopping It _"The myth: eating absolutely healthy and refraining from vices such as smoking, drinking, and indulging in sugar will ensure you don’t get cancer."_ _"The reality: cancer is not so cut and dried."_ _"Someone who smoked like a chimney for literally 50+ years could very well not get a lung cancer of some kind whereas your health nut aunt who has never smoked gets it."_ _"Cancer is a roll of the dice; by being a smoker, you just stack the house’s odds on the fact you’ll get it but that is NOT a guarantee."_ _"Another myth: Big Pharma is holding the cure for cancer hostage."_ _"The reality: First of all, cancer is a myriad of diseases that fit one definition— that is 'cell division gone wrong' and 'the cell forgets how to die'."_ _"Each cancer is totally different and has a range of differing symptoms, so there is no universal cure to cancer."_ _"Some cancers are more easily cured than others, but even then, that is entirely dependent on other factors such as the patient’s age and whether or not their DNA cooperates."_ _"That’s why someone who went through all the treatments and was in remission for one year may find themselves relapsing."_ _"Secondly, if the universal cure existed, wouldn’t 'Big Pharma' want to announce they have it so they can charge even more for it than conventional treatments (chemo, rads, bone marrow transplant, etc)?"_ _"The whole idea they have it but wouldn’t announce it is ludicrous because companies are out to make money and they make absolutely nothing by having the cure and not putting it up for sale."_ _"Just saying."_ _"The overall takeaway is this: you can’t stop cancer from happening if it’s going to happen."_ _"Within your body right now you have at least 1-10 cancer cells floating around, but they’re likely not going to do much because your natural killer (nK) cells are keeping it in line."_ _"Cancer happens when those nK cells can’t keep them in line and the cells proliferate."_ _"So overall, do what you feel you must to reduce your risks for certain cancers, but understand that even that may not work."-_ JenovaCelestia ### No One In Their Right Mind Would Doubt This... _"The left brain right brain theory is so annoying and proven to be FALSE."-_ coldfoamlattee ### Know The Difference _****"Adjacent, but I work in mental health care."_ ___"BPD = borderline personality disorder, not bipolar disorder."_ _"And neither of these things mean just being moody."_ _"Also in the US, psychiatrists, therapists and psychologists are different things (some psychologists are therapists, not all therapists are psychologists, not all psychologists are therapists)."-_ Aware-Experience-277 Mental Health Therapy GIF by All Better Giphy ### The Inevitable End _****"That a DNR order means do not treat."_ _"All it means is that if your heart stops beating, we are not going to pound on your chest 100 times a minute in the hopes that we can get things going again."_ _"It does not mean that we will not do anything and everything up to that point to care for you to the best of our ability."_ _"Same with end-of-life care."_ _"End of life care can be comfortable and much less traumatic than 'doing everything'."_ _"People die."_ _"Everyone dies."_ _"Sometimes allowing that to happen is the kindest thing you can do."-_ Livid-Tumbleweed ### It Only Feels Like Some People Do... ****_"That we only use 10% of our brain."_ _"I can assure you, we are using all of our brains."-_ No_Physics_12 Myths in the medical world have become all too common, hence why more people believe them to be true than not.

You are using the word 'journalism' very loosely there young fellah. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Being serious for a moment though - The Spectator does not do #Journalism.

It does do #Lies #Falsehoods #Bullshit #Duplicity and #propaganda (sometimes for foreign potentates - but mostly for billionaires who hate humanity)

#Day86 until they come for me. First #TrumpLies, let’s not call them a cutesy name like #falsehoods. Second, 2026 is looking even bleaker than did 2025. #Denaturalization appears to be the order for next year and it’s alarming that not more people are talking about this.

The fact checkers couldn't keep up with Donald Trump's speech Trump gave a four Pinocchio speech on Adderall.

In perhaps the shortest speech Trump has ever given, he was reading fast off of a teleprompter and popping the microphone on a regular basis. The ad libs didn't work very well.

No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way His assassination deserves full condemnation; his full impact should not be sidestepped.

In the aftermath of the horrific assassination of #CharlieKirk, a husband and father of two, it was natural that his allies lionized him as a patriot, free-speech advocate, and activist. Here’s the problem: Kirk built his movement with #Falsehoods, racism and bigotry.

Authorities say a student is dead after shooting 2 peers and then himself at Colorado high school Authorities say three teens were critically wounded in a shooting at a suburban Denver high school, including the suspected shooter.

In case you missed it, we had another #schoolshooting today. And funnily enough, this one wasn't committed by a trans person or a gang member... Sometimes, when you spew #hate and disseminate #falsehoods, the chickens come home to roost so to speak. Have a good night folks.
