‘Debunk fast, debunk well’: Misinformation-fighting campaign takes on COVID vaccine hesitancy
The problem with combatting the misinformation swirling around COVID-19 is, according to University of Alberta health law professor Timothy Caulfield, all fronts the fight takes place on are of equal importance.
“For a long time there has been this tolerance of pseudoscience and misinformation,” said Caulfield. “But there are recent studies that show once people believe a little bit of misinformation, it’s easier to believe other misinformation.”
And although many of the inaccuracies may seem like harmless conspiracies for the unreachable fringes like the idea that the pandemic is a hoax Caulfield said such notions can snowball and become a problematic belief that “clusters” with other hard-to-believe bits of misinformation.
