I agree with the overall point here, but starting it off with “Someone on TikTok said…” (or really, any variation of “Someone said…”) just completely undermines your credibility. Just say “There are more kids with measles…”
Don’t bother with the wishy-washy “someone said” nonsense. Confidently assert your point rather than attributing it to someone else. If you’re unsure of the facts and don’t want blowback for posting something inaccurate, either verify the facts yourself (it’s not hard or time consuming) or just don’t post it.

This is true. Someone on Reddit told me that using specifics is a great way to get your point across.
pretty much what I was thinking, like c’mon man you’re not gonna get me to believe something by mentioning tiktok no matter how true it is
If only a fraction of people who reposted images with “facts” would take this advice, we’d have a lot less misinformation out there!
Sure but is it true?
