7 Ways to combat medical misinformation

Slideshow

The pandemic has shown that medical misinformation can spread as quickly as a deadly disease.

Medical misinformation is all too common these days, especially as many try to politicize public health recommendations. While doctors are not immune from these narratives, we are still expected to follow evidence-based practices.
