Expect plenty of misinformation & disinformation as COVID transmission heats up. It's often fueled by low health literacy and numeracy, defense mechanisms (anxiety), clout seeking, or social media revenue. I discuss this in the Pandemic 5-year Anniversary video around 7:03.

“What should have been a straightforward vaccination turned into a Kafkaesque runaround—one that portends the chaos to come. The result will be… more transmission, more cases, more long Covid, hospitalizations, and deaths.”.My latest for @newrepublic:
