You know what just occurred to me as I sit here drinking my biggie McDonald’s unsweetened iced tea that someone so generously picked up for me?
We (that is individually, although we could certainly post and share for the good of the order) put together a flyer or pamphlet to pass around on the topic of warning people to be on the lookout for the crazy covid conspiracy theories of the right that their friends and family might fall for and how to dispute them.
On this flyer, would be such bullet points along the lines as below. The bullet points would be presented as these are the nutty things they believe.
- Erroneous Belief #1: Doctors have been charged with mass murder for lying about Covid
- Erroneous Belief #2: Ivermectin is being used all over the world in treating Covid
- Erroneous Belief #3: Everyone who had died of Covid has been old
Under each bullet point, would be FACT...
The facts would be, things like:
Fact: Only one doctor has been indicted for mass murder.....
Fact: Only 45 nations are using Ivermectin...
Fact: Only 85% of the people who have died of Covid-19 in the United States are over 70...
The facts would be fleshed out and have citations, ideally citations from middle-of-the-road sources or the CDC itself.
I know. Too much caffeine. I should stick to wine.
Hmm, a classic reverse tactic....
Make a list and let’s start crowdsourcing like we did the signatures document.
I can donate some work on it on weekends.
