They're in the grip of criminal insanity—and coming after everyone who doesn't share it

What today's "democracies" all have in common is an ever-more-ferocious hatred of the truth, and those intent on telling it

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist.”

Turning the tide against medical disinformation will take all of us

Jack Resneck Jr., MD

President, American Medical Association

October 5, 2022

Among the enduring lessons from COVID-19 are how quickly medical misinformation and disinformation can be spread online and through social media, and the devastation they leave behind. Both can have serious consequences for our patients and the health of the nation—the distinction between the two is that disinformation is intentionally deceptive. The resulting distrust in experts, science, and medical institutions hampers our ability to respond effectively in a health crisis.

Countering anti-science aggression

Make no mistake, the health of our patients is put at risk by coordinated, well-resourced efforts to mislead the public about medicine and science. This anti-science aggression, as some have called it, not only undermined confidence in the COVID-19 vaccines, but it has also been used to widen existing divisions on far-ranging issues such as access to safe reproductive care, achieving health equity, and discrimination against transgender patients.  

It has contributed to declining vaccination rates. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul recently declared a state of emergency as low vaccination rates have led to the once unthinkable resurgence of polio in her state.  

Facing these immense challenges, I’ve never been prouder as I see fellow physicians in their offices and hospitals, in their local communities, and on all types of media talking about medical science and evidence. Organized medicine has stepped into this fight as well—working to effectively counter voices who spread blatantly false information and monetize these damaging activities.

New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern condemned for comparing free speech to ‘weapons of war’ at UN

September 29, 2022

… Ardern then suggested that online speech is a weapon often used by those with evil intent. 

“The weapons may be different but the goals of those who perpetrate them is often the same. To cause chaos and reduce the ability of others to defend themselves. To disband communities. To collapse the collective strength of countries who work together,” she claimed [as if SHE, and the UN, aren’t THEMSELVES doing those very things].

The prime minister urged action from the gathered audience of U.N. leaders.

“But we have an opportunity here to ensure that these particular weapons of war do not become an established part of warfare. In these times, I am acutely aware of how easy it is to feel disheartened. We are facing many battles on many fronts,” she said. “But there is cause for optimism. Because for every new weapon we face, there is a new tool to overcome it. For every attempt to push the world into chaos, is a collective conviction to bring us back to order. We have the means; we just need the collective will.”
