Interesting. We discussed inoculation theory in both my college media studies class and my social science class in many years ago. It wasn't presented as terribly efficacious for broad, complex topics. Small, isolated ideas could be pre-bunked, but when it came to terms to interrelated ideas constituting a world-view, there was not much to go on. I mention world-views to point out that the misinformation problem touches on broad cultural identities. If you've ever seen one of those videos where they interview a person with false beliefs and then show them the evidence, you'll see they usually aren't moved. Their views are based on an interlocking set of beliefs. It suggests that pre-bunking would have to overcome their attitudes about "the mainstream media" or "government overreach". Not an easy task.
