Unethical science does more to damage democracy and liberty than 'misinformation' ever could.
Who's going to stop them? With the way pharma has infiltrated all aspects and levels of academia and public health, it holds powerful sway over our medical existence.
It's going to take some very brave people to reverse this.

"Misinformation" has never been a threat to democracy or liberty. Those who claim otherwise are simply ignorant and illiterate on the history of democratic thought.
By definition, "misinformation" necessitates the primacy of narrative over facts, data, and evidence--and thus contains the seeds of its own downfall. "Misinformation" is either an effort to dismiss a certain narrative framework as propaganda, despite its objective factual and evidentiary support, or is itself propaganda. Because it necessarily entails a denial of reality, it must invariably collapse under its own weight.
Right now, the greatest purveyors of "misinformation" outside of government are the Big Pharma companies. Whether the average American citizen, through the good offices of the jury box and the ballot box, can bring Big Pharma to heel, is an open question. If this cannot be done, we will need to rely on the cartridge box.
