If you're a regular person, listening empathically to your anti-vaxx aunt is fine. If you're a public official speaking to millions, though, the message has to be "MAHA is killing kids," not "MAHA has some good points." 341732249

At a time when mis- and disinformation increasingly shape public policy, Filter consistently chose truth-telling. I’ll miss you. #HarmReduction filtermag.org/a-statement-...filtermag.orgA Statement About FilterFilter is shutting down this week. It's a big loss for those of us who have cared about the publication. But we have much to be grateful for. 185
