Not expressing an opinion is the missing skill many people need to learn, particularly on social media where the medium is doing all it can to encourage people to get involved. Being able to say “I just don’t know” or “I don’t have the necessary facts” or “this isn't my area of expertise” or, better, to simply say nothing at all is something many “influencers” would do well to learn. Just because you have 50million followers on some platform doesn’t mean you have the expertise to talk about vaccines or whatever the hot topic of the day happens to be. Of course saying you don’t know requires a level of humility that many people simple don’t seem to have but hey, there you go.
