I agree. The easiest way to identify misinformation is that the misinformers refuse to provide you the source of their claims. Misinformers want you to take it on faith without providing substantiation. Here are some examples of what that looks like:

In each case, the poster made broad claims and refused to substantiate them. That refusal is the tipoff that you've been presented with misinformation or disinformation.

The chances that you are getting stronger against the virus or weaker against the virus after vaccination is 50 - 50.

@doong When I went to school, they taught us that the plural of 'anecdote' is not 'data.' So, in response to your vague anecdote, Fox News has some real data.

Unvaccinated individuals are 29 times more likely to be hospitalized from COVID-19, CDC says
You are five times more likely to contract COVID-19 if unvaccinated

It's a simple life or death choice.
