Informed Choice Project

An interesting initiative in Canada is the Informed Choice Project which is focused on countering misinformation about vaccination and "aims to leverage a Canada-wide network of HCWs [health care workers] and volunteers to tackle misinformation in the social media ecosystem." There are training modules and then volunteers are supposed to engage in conversation on social media a few times a week, to counter vaccine hesitancy. There are also links to other sites: List of Tools That Fight Misinformation Online; Verified - An Initiative Aimed at providing reliable, accurate information about COVID-19; A Guide to Anti-Misinformation Actions Around the World; Harvard Misinformation Review.
