The Medical Community's Experience Of Covid-19 Fake News/Misinformation

According To Dr. Ricardo Mexia 'misinformation spreading unchecked on social media costs lives and we need stern action to avoid those preventable deaths.' The current levels of fake news/misinformation are hampering medics’ efforts to tackle Covid-19, confusing the public and forcing the medical community to use their severely limited time to refute conspiracy theories. The medical profession is based on the principle of ‘first, do no harm.’ You can help ensure that is true for social media companies too by telling your story.
