> Disinformation is literally killing people by contributing to the continued spread of a pandemic. It's absolutely insane to me that you would genuinely ask why disinformation is a problem.
I wonder if you ever considered the possibity that not everything that goes against your current beliefs is disinformation.

Speaking only for myself, I try to consider such possibilities constantly. Unlike what passes for Trump-era conservatives, I don't like to be wrong. If you correct a mistaken belief of mine, I'll thank you for doing me the favor.
Difficulty: Your faith's no good here, nor is your money. You'll need to bring evidence.
I'm open to having my mind changed, but it takes rigorous testing and peer review. I'm not going to have my mind changed by some talking head on the TV or some dude in sunglasses recording a video from his truck.
If I got COVID, I'm not going to demand Ivermectin just because Joe Rogan told me to.
But you're dodging the issue at hand. COVID has killed nearly 700,000 Americans and over 4.5M people worldwide. Vaccines slow the spread of COVID and are safe. This is all verifiable information. Claims that the vaccine is ineffective or has deadly side-effects are disinformation. Not because I disagree, but because extensive study and peer review points to those claims being false.
When you disagree with scientific studies that have undergone extensive peer review, it's not disagreement. You're just wrong.
