Twitter announces that Covid-19 causes misinformation against vaccine

Twitter said it would dismantle accounts that repeatedly publish incorrect information about Covid-19 vaccines.

The social media platform said they would not hesitate to permanently suspend those who were conspicuously misleading information about the pandemic and the various vaccines created against it, and that they would label tweets to better inform users about it.

Similar to the line they took with former President Donald Trump’s unfounded allegations of electoral fraud after his loss in the 2020 US presidential election.

They will use a combination of automated and human reviewers to identify and name the fake posts about coronavirus vaccines.

Those who initially decide to post questionable information may initially file a seven-day ban, but those who receive five or more ‘strikes’ will be completely removed from the social media platform.

In a media statement, they write: “As health authorities deepen their understanding of COVID-19 and vaccination programs around the world, we will continue to strengthen the latest, most up-to-date and authoritative information.”

This latest move follows their announcement in December last year that incorrect information regarding vaccines would be removed from the platform.

There is a growing upward trend in skepticism about vaccines around the world, with more than 15 percent of Americans declaring that they ‘definitely’ will not get one of the three vaccines used in a recent poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation. offered.

To date, the U.S. has administered nearly 77 doses of the approved Moderna and Pfizer / BioNTech vaccines, and a third single-dose sample from Johnson & Johnson was approved on Saturday.

The president’s chief medical adviser to the president, Dr. Anthony Fauci, said up to 90 percent of the U.S. population needs to be vaccinated to secure herd immunity.

This means that there is still a long way to go, and the number of people planning to refuse a sting is increasing.

This is probably why Twitter decided to step in to remove some of the misleading information that could turn people’s opinions online.

The most comprehensive study conducted in the UK showed that 72 per cent of people are willing to be vaccinated, with 16 per cent still very insecure and 12 per cent hesitating to get the sting.

The University of Oxford asked 5,114 people how they felt about taking an NHS Covid-19 vaccine, and the results were published in the journal Psychological Medicine.
