Answer 1

 

Don’t focus on the myths.

“Be careful about countering a misperception too directly,” says Omer. The discussion shouldn’t be all or mostly about addressing a specific myth because there will always be more myths that follow. Calling attention to a myth can also backfire by making the myth more memorable than the facts. But sometimes, you cannot get out of addressing misinformation. If you find yourself in that position, Omer suggests the following approach: fact, warning, fallacy, fact. Here’s how it works:

• Start with the fact. COVID-19 vaccines are extremely safe and effective.
• Warn before the myth is coming. Say, “there is misinformation about______.”
• Mention the fallacy (myth) that you are addressing.
• End with the fact. Show why the myth is not true.

The most important thing is to “replace the misinformation with the correct information,” explains Omer.
