Mis- & disinformation

 

While working with First Draft from 2019 to 2021, I extensively monitored and uncovered misinformation surrounding the unfolding COVID pandemic, leading on vaccines and women’s health. For the PBS series Take on Fake, I presented some of my work uncovering COVID vaccine data deficits, and how these gaps in information fuelled both reasonable concerns and baseless claims.

While intricately tracking QAnon disinformation narratives in the UK and elsewhere in Europe, I shared my insights with MSNBC’s Matt Bradley on the conspiracy theory’s spread from the U.S. to Europe in 2020. Segment begins at 3:09.
