An investigation into the spread of online disinformation and health miscommunication during the pandemic, this webinar session explains how fake health news, political propaganda, and unverified medical claims spread quickly on online platforms, undermining the public’s trust in healthcare officials. Key findings indicate that people’s health choices and how they follow policies were shaped a lot by what they see online and by government media manipulation. The speakers suggest strong media literacy programs, clear and honest communication from health professionals, and accountability measures for social media platforms.
