Casey Means doesn't have a licence to practice medicine and despite calling herself a "former surgeon" on LinkedIn, didn't actually complete her surgical residency. But that's not why the antivaxxers and far-right are BIG MAD about her nomination to be Surgeon General www.wired.com/story/casey-...

Worth reminding people that our 2023 landscape mapping of the Irish mis/disinfo ecosystem found that Gript is (by far) the outlet of choice for conspiracy theorists, racists and science deniers. Do you think this is because they uphold the standards & ethics of journalism? (Spoiler:it is not)
