Fauci: Here's why misinformation spreads faster than good information

"I can say the best way to counter misinformation and disinformation is to flood the system with correct information. The only trouble and observation that I have made personally is that it appears that the people who are spreading the misinformation and disinformation do it in a very energetic, aggressive way, as if they don't have anything else to do. Where is the people who are capable of spreading the correct information actually have a day job. And we're kind of fighting, we're going into a gunfight with a knife, which is really something that I think we're going to have trouble overcoming that."
