Misinformation,
You’ve made me angry,
For you, apparently,
Spread so easily;
I’ve had an indoctrination,
Amidst this outbreak,
Into just how sneakily sneakily,
You insert your errors;
I usually manage to avoid you,
But lately, on occasion,
You’ve convinced your hosts to replicate you,
And pass you onto me;
Fortunately, though,
My immune system is a beast,
An immune system built on a physics education,
And a skeptical, inquiring, analytical mind;
Fuck you, misinformation,
For not everybody can spot you so easily,
So to witness you in a group chat,
Infecting and controlling my friends,
Who’ve reacted and responded,
As if you were the real deal…
Fuck you ๐.

Thank you!!!
I’ve been very uninspired in the last 24 hours, and this came out of nowhere, just inspired by a random event. Funny.

Man…that group chat with the misinformation. I firmly denounced the information’s validity (it was insane, suggesting that soap lather/foam is what cuts through the lipid membranes of coronavirus!!), and the response I got was an image saying ‘Socially-distanced hug’ with a little figure giving a hug.

Misinformation is slowly gnawing away at society. Like you, I’m educated and my mind is strong; as well as my intuition. Typically, I can spot a hoax quickly.

It’s disturbing how taken in by it people can be. It’s not even clear what the motivation of some of it is. Like thing which motivated this poemโ the information was stupidly wrong, but I can’t see what the point of it existing was. It was all in melodramatic capitals and stuff, just mad!
