If you’re interested in watching the entire unedited version of the “Health misinformation & Its Consequences: A Critical Conversation” event that we attended on Tues Mar 4 with the doctors from the Injection of Truth as well as the keynote speaker Timothy Caulfield, I’ve uploaded it here.
Keep in mind as to the point of this Town Hall discussion was as follows:
“Misinformation is shaping our perceptions of science and what impacts our health—often with serious consequences. How can we navigate this flood of conflicting information? How do we know what to trust?
Join the O’Brien Institute for Public Health, along with other health research Institutes and partners, for a Town Hall discussion on the rise of health misinformation and the impact it’s having on our health, and evidence-based decision-making. Experts will delve into global misinformation trends, societal influences, the rise of vaccine hesitancy, and the challenges of restoring public trust in health information. Attendees will gain insights into reliable sources of health information and strategies for promoting evidence-based decision-making.”
You can be the judge as to whether any of their goals were met.
