In your initial post, address the following questions:
Have you run across any “fake medical news” relating to microbes that cause diseases in humans on the internet? Can you provide examples?
Do you know anyone who has believed and has acted on dubious medical information found on the internet? Did you do anything to try to convince them that the information was false? (If you haven’t had such an experience, please suggest a likely scenario involving a friend and how you might address it.)
What do you think of the approaches already taken to reduce fake medical news? What do you think should be done (if anything) to prevent its spread?
