You can't get rid of disinformation especially if it's a gray area where "both" versions are somewhat correct. Sometimes the disinformation is just an incomplete picture or something out of context.
The issue I see is the the "authorities" or institutions that you could go to to get an answer to your uncertainty are not trusted. It is also very important for "authorities" on issues to not laugh off stupid questions, instead they should answer questions clearly and not in a condensation tone which sadly I see a lot today. Yes the question may be way out of bound but by answering it clearly and concise you give it weight, laughing at people does the opposite and fuels the conspiracy.
I would love to see a poll done in the US asking people if they trust so and so. From institutions to members of congress to their neighbor. I think the result would be quite shocking

Absolutely. Disinformation often uses true facts to paint a false narrative. (By cherry-picking the facts that are considered, and only pointing out the ones that fit the narrative. And if you point out the other facts, the ones that don't support the narrative, then you get accused of denying the data that does support the narrative, even if what you're actually doing is pointing out that all the data, when considered together, does not support the narrative.)
