To effectively combat medical misinformation, it's important to promote ingrained fact-checking on social media sites. This can help flag misinformation, but it doesn't fully fix the problem. It's important to know how to distinguish between a trustworthy source and a potentially misleading source.

Medical Misinformation thrives on social media with a lack of
fact-checking and algorithms that focus solely on profit. False
information spreads faster and receives more engagement than facts. We live in a digital age where medical misinformation not only thrives but is profitable.
