Fabrication
The claim rests on something that simply does not exist.
How it enters the chain
An invented study, a nonexistent expert, a made-up statistic. Fabrications survive because each reshare implies someone else checked.
How to spot it
Ask for the primary source by name and try to find it. Fabrications dissolve on contact with a search of the actual literature.
