Sigh. Just when I thought @Twitter was doing a bit better, it goes and amplifies this as “science.”

Geez, @Twitter and @TwitterSafety, this is the worst one yet, straight up antivax misinformation tagged as “science.” It’s not even subtle.

And I would have no problem with it if if this were to happen.

And @Twitter continues to mangle “Science” with its tag.

And @Twitter continues to amplify misinformation, this time one of the worst #COVID19 quacks.

And the examples of how @Twitter algorithms flag antivax lies as "science" and the utter ineffectiveness of @TwitterSafety just keep flowing.
