You know, sometimes it's just like... I think it was an AI thing. I was sent something recently and I was momentarily duped until I dug a bit deeper and I was like, oh, this is not true. This is manufactured. And I think we assume people to be a lot more literate than they are. And that's not coming from an arrogant place. We're just flooded with information.

I was like, but she was like, no, don't get the vaccine. Chew ginger and you'll be fine. Right. And to task that person with finding the truth.

A lot of people don't know where to start, especially where we are being flooded with misinformation. So I think Trevor's saying maybe we should have a bit more grace because not everyone is able to maneuver information.
