We must recognise and not dismiss the historic harms that marginalised groups have experienced at the hands of the pharmaceutical and medical industry.

“However, historic harms within the medical industry are not an excuse to profit off of misinformation.” - @caulfieldtim.bsky.social 👏🏾

How to tackle medical misinformation:

• Teaching critical thinking skills earlier in life
• Pre-warning patients against misinformation
• Step back; encouraging genuine breaks from the noise
• Acknowledge scientific consensus

Really interesting to see how people embrace of medical misinformation, stemming from the desire to be part of a community.

We see medical experts vs celebrity influencers in the battle against health misinformation.

But what about the dangers of predatory academic journals and the rise of low quality publications?
