In a sign that school-based COVID-19 safety measures are showing promise, fewer students and staff were exposed to the coronavirus in these outbreaks.The county’s measure, adapted from an advisory by U.S. Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy in his advisory “Confronting Health Misinformation,” offers broad, general direction on how it will do so.
For instance, county figures show that while 72% of Latino, 70% of Asian and 63% of white residents have received at least one COVID-19 shot as of Aug. 25,The resolution also directs county officials to research sources of health misinformation and to calculate their impact. And it authorizes the county to invest in training for health professionals and in educational programs to help people distinguish between medical research and personal opinion.
County officials said they have not ironed out many of the details of those efforts but are creating a task force to work on them. For instance, they will have to define what constitutes medical misinformation and how to label it.The newly passed measure also calls for enlisting “trusted messengers” to engage people on public health matters such as COVID-19 vaccination.
“Nobody is going to convince the hardcore of those who believe the pandemic is a hoax, but there are a lot of people who are reluctant … it’s not so hard,” Hallin said. “Initiatives to reach that part of the public are really important.”Argentina Servin, an assistant professor in the division of infectious diseases and global public health, leads UC San Diego’s project 2VIDA!, an outreach and vaccination campaign in the area’s hardest hit communities.

If you're not a medical expert. Just shut up and sit down. Uneducated people do not need to be making decisions for kids.
Thank you for hanging in there and not throwing up your hands but, setting the record straight. Those 'angry public comments' are people who have been conditioned to be angry w/their responses, and w/no information to back it up. Thank you for driving the correct message home.
Since Texas passed a law that allow people to sue abortion clinics, California should pass a law to sue Those who spread covid disinformation. Encouraging people to dangerous animal meds is not protected by the First Amendment. Two can play this game.
What Californians found out in the pandemic, is that board of supervisors have way too much power and many people want to take back their votes. These are the people that voted to close outdoor dining in LA County, and went out outdoor dining the same night
The government whining about misinformation. Is this a joke
