"Lara Anton, spokesperson for state health dept, said her office refused the shipment from HHS 'because healthcare providers have not requested it from us.' Kennedy also said that he believes budesonide, clarithromycin, or cod-liver oil can treat measles, but the health department apparently doesn’t want those either."

"RFK Jr. told Fox earlier this month that he was delivering vitamin A to measles-stricken communities in West Texas immediately. But a Texas health official told The Atlantic that no doses of vitamin A ever arrived at the state health department—not because RFK Jr. broke his promise, but because Texas doctors didn’t want them."

"Looking at the demand for misinformation tells us that as long as people have certain worldviews, they will seek out and find information consistent with those views. Depending on what someone’s worldview is, the information in question is often misinformation—or at least would be considered misinformation by those with differing worldviews."

"We analyzed every instance of AI use in elections collected by the WIRED AI Elections Project, which tracked known uses of AI for creating political content during elections taking place in 2024 worldwide. In each case, we identified what AI was used for and estimated the cost of creating similar content without AI."

"The importance of evidence based #ClimateChange education is all the more critical considering the corrupted information sphere in which we're all living. #BigTech funds algorithms that fuel messages to young people. It's really hard for young people to navigate this corrupted information sphere."

"Stupidity about vaccines is both too damned close and traveling at the speed of light. We're going to have to be faster. ...
How are we going to escape this stupidity? I don’t know, but you can protect yourself from some of the damage by making sure your vaccinations are up to date. Make sure your friends and family are up to date as well."

to clarify this some more:
I said #Twitter is a #disinformation platform that can't be trusted
that doesn't mean that every account there is lying
but "because someone on twitter said so" is a non-argument for me
if the info of that "someone" proves to be correct I'm adjusting my opinion, twitter or not
if disinformation is spread on #Mastodon it is still disinformation & will be called out eventually
by a community
whereas in twitter there's a lying AI

And so, ignorance once again:

"We're seeing a failure of government leadership to fully fund #ClimateChange education curriculum development, the resources & training teachers need. It needs public funding so it's accountable to us, not to a board including #FossilFuel representatives protecting their interests over those of students & teachers."
