A joint statement by the Canadian Medical Association, the provincial and territorial medical associations, the Association of Faculties of Medicine, and others attempts to address common health misinformation issues. The statement points to the growing trend of “clearly false health information” being normalized and emphasizes the harm it does to the public, communities, and general health policy. The co-signatories assert that they are standing in solidarity with global clinical and scientific entities against the politicization and normalization of health misinformation, and against the undermining of the body of evidence used to inform clinical and health policy decisions.
