Persuasive Speech Outline  Thesis Statement :   Social media influencers have a detrimental effect on healthcare decisions, contributing to the spread of misinformation through their lack of expertise, promotion of unverified claims, and targeting of vulnerable groups. Introduction I. Thesis Statement: Social media influencers have a detrimental effect on healthcare decisions, contributing to the spread of misinformation through their lack of expertise, promotion of unverified claims, and targeting of vulnerable groups. II. Attention-getter: Making the audience think about social media posts for diets or magic cures, delving into how social media influencers affect health choices. Body III. Impact of Social Media Influencers on Healthcare Decisions A. Tendency to Trust Familiar Faces 1.

Lack of Medical Expertise B. Misleading Information Spread by Influencers 1. Example: Goop’s Promotion of Body Vibes Stickers 2. Example: Kim Kardashian’s Promotion of Diet Lollipops People are upset with Kardashian West for using her platform to promote the product — and are sounding off in the comments (Heller, 2018).
C. Lack of Accountability within the Influencer Industry 1. Example: Kim Kardashian’s Endorsement of Diclegis So, the agency sent a warning letter on Friday to the manufacturer, Duchesnay Inc., saying the post was “false or misleading in that it presents efficacy claims for Diclegis, but fails to communicate any risk information associated with its use and it omits material facts (Burton, 2015). 2. Comparison with Doctors’ Ethical Guidelines D. Targeting of Vulnerable Groups 1. Example: Pressuring Low-Income Families IV. Rebuttal A. Counterargument: Some people argue that there is no harm in influencers sharing their experiences and making a profit. B. Rebuttal: 1. The harm lies in profiting from questionable anecdotes or unverified claims. 2. Influencers' power can lead to unhealthy choices without proof. 3. Some prioritize profit over safety, promoting harmful things. Conclusion 1. Restates thesis: Social media influencers have a detrimental effect on healthcare decisions, contributing to the spread of misinformation through their lack of expertise, promotion of unverified claims, and targeting of vulnerable groups.
