One of the reasons why I go so hard on science misinformation/disinformation, is that as a working scientist it is frustrating to see your research misreported to push an agenda.
For example, consider this piece of right-wing propaganda from The Telegraph that was just published

The sheer dedication to avoiding any mention of COVID when talking about things that we know for certain are heavily impacted by COVID is...impressive.
The "after pandemic" bit is a red flag too - someone's either not keeping up, or deliberately trying to manipulate the narrative.

How has the media contributed to manufacturing consent for COVID to be “over” (and the decline of public health in general)? New episode ft. @juliadoubleday.bsky.social and @wanderingkayli.bsky.social as well as some comments from former COVID-19 Technical Lead at the WHO, Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove

Not to flog a dead institution but... Captured by corporate interests, embraced eugenics (“only disabled/old/vulnerable people are going to die, don’t worry”) & ran full tilt into offloading collective responsibility onto individuals. And now we are, predictably, here 😐 This is going to kill people.

HCWs are developing Long Covid and leaving the workforce, which worsens working (and patient) conditions, and worsens access to healthcare. And patients are getting Covid in hospitals and dying.
