It's true - "vaccines cause autism" is misinformation these days... because mRNA vaccines cause everything but autism.

You can't be hyperactive if you're clutching your chest in pain because 2X increase in troponin.

I am not sure the last word on that has been spoken. But you obviously are. You guys are alway so sure that you got the last and final truth, aren't you? How many last and final truths are we up to for COVID btw?

Misinformation is propaganda term that's employed to give the state the power to define what the truth is.

"earth is flat" - that misinformation has no impact unless you make a big deal about it, we can simply laugh it off and move on.
