Correction as a Solution for Health Misinformation on Social Media

Because I value the pursuit truth I am always quick to admit my misunderstandings or when I am wrong.

And further, I admire this quality from the countless professionals I follow. In fact, when they do not admit mistakes (such as numerous medical "professional", a few specific ones come to mind) - I immediately unfollow and stop supporting.

These people do not have your best interest in heart - only their own.

"Expert sources themselves are more effective in correcting misinformation than users are, and engaging in such corrections on social media does not appear to negatively affect their credibility.5 Sharing corrections that counter personal or political interest can enhance trust and thus effectiveness, so considering trusted sources among a target audience is essential."
