In this conversation, Dr Zeest Khan discusses the characteristics of pseudoscience accounts on social media that claim to provide reliable information about Long Covid. She provides a checklist to help identify these unreliable sources, including triggering fear and anxiety, using all or none statements, selling products related to their claims, speaking outside their area of expertise, and using dense and complicated language. Zeest emphasizes the importance of verifying credentials and understanding the capacity in which the person is speaking.
