One of the reasons why I go so hard on science misinformation/disinformation, is that as a working scientist it is frustrating to see your research misreported to push an agenda.
For example, consider this piece of right-wing propaganda from The Telegraph that was just published

Airborne disease transmission is complicated, and the implementation of impactful mitigation strategies requires us to understand every aspect of this process. When widely circulated newspapers publish misinformation about what the literature is showing, the public is disserved.

I see the impacts around me from the antiscience focus on COVID and how ‘living with COVID’ is causing blood vessel damage, heart attacks and so on. It’s also airborne, living with Covid is the biggest public health disaster. Over 409 million have long covid!

Also, by asking for so much, they are making it inevitable that every applicant will leave something off. The last 5 years worth of data from all your relatives?? Every application will have a mistake. Then, they can use that mistake/omission to selectively prosecute immigrants and tourists.

The UN plans to reduce by half the amount of money it requests from donor countries in 2026 to help people affected by war and natural disasters, a consequence of the drastic cuts by the U.S. and European governments to their foreign aid budgets.
United Nations Cuts Its 2026 Emergency Aid Budget in Half
Huge reductions in foreign aid by the United States and Europe have led the U.N.’s emergency relief coordinator to slash its fund-raising targets for next year.

3️⃣ Counter misinformation: Challenge it wherever you see it. It has plagued us for too long.
4️⃣ Use Your Power: Ask yourself what is your personal power and influence? Exert it. If you're in a position of influence and can't find the courage to step up, step down and let someone else lead.

We're calling for the UK to show the kind of leadership we showed in WWII. To face the challenge head-on instead of pretending it isn't happening.
This isn't a call for small tweaks but for big, courageous action.

We heard lessons from the COVID inquiry, from military crises, and from emergencies in intensive care units that are all the same: When a crisis is emerging, you act quickly. You do not delay.

The greatest financial risk we face is the cost of inaction. The economic disruption from extreme weather events that we’re not prepared for will be catastrophic. We risk being hit by weather disruption at a national scale, trying to recover from one disaster just as the next one hits.

When I asked the audience, not a single person thought the situation had been exaggerated. Many felt it was even more serious.
When we accept things as they really are, we can no longer rely on the psychological defences of denying, trivialising, or ignoring the need for deep, systemic action.

When you hear these nine briefings together, the reality is undeniable - an interconnected, escalating polycrisis.
My intention was to create a "one-way gate." I wanted everyone in the room, leaders and influencers across society, to leave knowing that "business as usual" is no longer an option.
