You can bring megawatt lasers to bear on a bad idea from all angles and fools will not budge. Many people are not rational, it's impossible that you've not realised that yet you push this POV.
Saying we can deal with idiot ideas with rationality is itself disinformation because for some groups it clearly doesn't work.
> ...whereas bad information is seductively simple. I won't address that argument here
Odd that you won't, because this is the exact forum to address that argument. Please address it.
Someone I know has repeatedly told me that "they[0] added HIV to covid to make it so dangerous" and telling them for the Nth time there's no evidence of that has not changed anything, nor will it ever I suspect.
[0] Unstated who 'they' are but implication is the chinese.
