Headline: Doctors have decades of experience fighting “fake news.” Here’s how they win.

Some lessons from the health community’s long battle with misinformation.

Lesson 1: Take time to explain why you believe something — not just what you believe and why your opponent is wrong

Lesson 2: Make sure your information is reliable and easy to access

Lesson 4: Evidence is necessary but not sufficient

Lesson 5: Don’t be afraid to hold misinformation peddlers to account
