What role does misinformation play in vaccine-related social instability?
Misinformation is a significant driver of vaccine-related social instability. False information about vaccine safety, efficacy, or necessity can erode public trust and lead to increased vaccine hesitancy. Social media platforms can amplify these misinformation campaigns, sometimes with the backing of malicious actors seeking to sow discord. Combating misinformation requires robust public health communication strategies, transparency, and the involvement of trusted community figures.
