Annals Supplement

The most powerful current threat to public health is not an infectious disease or climate change; it is the rampant spread of health-related misinformation and disinformation (1). Social media has fostered an environment in which misleading health claims spread rapidly.

Consequently, navigating conversations with patients who have fallen prey to mis- and disinformation has become an essential skill for physicians.
