It's been interesting to experience putting out a disinformation brushfire. It really isn't that hard when the facts are on your side.
I monitor for frens that have misinterpreted the info, send them a direct link that readily debunks it, and it's out. Someone stumbles in from Twitter or Truth again with the same incorrect info, send the link, the fire is out. Most will have the sense to update their follow list as a result, and be frostier in the future.
And the cost to spin up this sort of rumor has to be pretty substantial. It requires nurturing the shill accounts with credibility, and once the shill is identified its history of work is spoiled.
It's a reasonable explanation because that's exactly what happened when you bother to find and watch the primary source.

Thank you. Frens that do actual leg work are at the top of my totem pole.
