Donald Trump lost the 2020 election and the Covid vaccine is safe and effective.

Funny, it's apparently not actually difficult to identify mis- and disinformation. People who tell you otherwise have an agenda.

In a metatextual sense, you and I both know how hard it is to define though. But yeah misinformation that has a potentially harmful outcome to it needs to find as much resistance as possible and be quarantined
