Abstract

The article highlights the misinformation about coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which has been linked to reduced willingness to get vaccinated against the disease and lower intentions to comply with public health measures. It also discusses that a growing body of research has looked at whether shifting people's attention toward accuracy can have a positive influence on their news sharing decisions.
