🚨Cass Review Misinformation Update🚨

Mallory Moore @Chican3ry actually beat Alejandra Caraballo @Esqueer_ by 2 hours in tweeting false claims about the Cass Review before it came out.

But each of them shares responsibility for the subsequent misinformation storm.

See 🧵⬇️

⏰Mallory Moore tweeted her false claim that Cass Review did "disregard all but one" study at 11:36am ET April 9.
⏰Alejandra Caraballo tweeted her false claim that Cass "disregarded" all non-randomized controlled trials at 1:49pm ET.

Recall that Alejandra Caraballo tweeted the wrong systematic literature review. Instead of screenshotting the new lit reviews from the University of York that were published simultaneously with the Cass Review at 7:01pm ET April 9, she "leaked" an image of the 2020 NICE review.

🚫Mallory Moore's tweet got 200K views, and is responsible for the general false claim that the review "disregarded" almost all studies.
🚫Alejandra Caraballo's tweet has 841K (and counting) views, and is responsible for the specific false claim that Cass discarded all non-RCTs.

So Mallory Moore @Chican3ry and Alejandra Caraballo @Esqueer_ were communally responsible for the two major false claims about the Cass Review that have circulated and that led an angry Dr. Cass to denounce them in interviews to the BBC and elsewhere.

To hear an angry and dismayed Dr. Hilary Cass take down the influencers who spread misinformation about the Cass Review and set the record straight about how the systematic literature reviews it was partly based on processed the available research, see: bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0h…

Here is the tweet thread from Mallory Moore that got the misinformation ball rolling about the Cass Review on April 9:

After being called out by Dame Hilary Cass for spreading what Cass referred to as harmful misinformation, Mallory is incensed that the doctor referred to her as an influencer.
