There are more than the 7 shown here.
Search this phrase in Twitter, you’ll see:
The CDC just quietly lowered the standards for speech in early childhood development.
Now children should know ~50 words at 30mo rather than 24mo.

The posts aren’t quite misinfo, although they aren’t 100% accurate.
The BowTieRanger account, which I had never seen before, blocked me after I wrote this thread. Whatever that means. (Not incendiary enough?)
