      emilybell BGrueskin DeanLuk I think it's a huge mistake to attach the majority of blame to the modern media's digital incentives and issues when we saw these *exact* same problems causing the exact same issues in 1998. There's a more fundamental media bias towards sensational reports in play here.

    emilybell BGrueskin DeanLuk There's likely also something to be said here about how the media is still not well trained or has enough expertise to understand and parse complex medical issues and early stage studies not really intended for laypeople. And, flip side, medical folks are still very bad at comms.
