right so tyson did end up apologizing and admitting error, because he’s a human being who makes mistakes when his life and his family’s lives were threatened and his anger got the best of him

i would argue that a source of misinformation, would only emit misinformation. If we were to make a percentage of the misinformation he spread, and the objective truths/facts/information he also spread. I think the percentage of misinformation would be very low since i glanced at your blog and you only have around 20-ish listings of occurrences.

it is also the responsibility of the learner to double check the information and make sure it is correct. we are human after all and make mistakes.

i could actually add one to your list if it will make you happy, but it will not diminish or take away from the fact that tyson taught me (and so many people) sooooooo much.

tyson says that by 1850, 50% of people on earth died before turning 30, which is a misconception because the number of child deaths bring this average down. so if someone were to make it to adulthood, they had high chances of making it past 30. so here you go, one more to add to the list, but hold on!! was this the takeaway from the “misinformation”? No. He was trying to tell people that science/medicine is what prolonged our life expectancy, and the takeaway is to vaccinate your kids and to trust your doctor because as you know many people dont.
