SMH: ‘I was afraid I was going to die’:
Misinformation fuels vaccine hesitancy
Margaret Thanos was so overwhelmed by what she had read online about whether it was safe for young people her age to get the AstraZeneca vaccine she found herself sobbing outside the chemist on the day of her injection.
“The fear from what I had heard and online misinformation meant I was afraid I was going to die even though statistically it’s so unlikely,” says Ms Thanos, a 21-year-old artist, who is now fully vaccinated.
COVID-19 is regarded as the first pandemic of the social media age, according to a global report by girls’ equality charity Plan International, which surveyed more than 26,000 girls and young women from 26 countries and found false information was severely impacting their lives.
In Australia, 95 per cent of the 1001 girls and young women surveyed said they were concerned about misinformation or disinformation online, while 83 per cent said they had been exposed to false or misleading information. (While misinformation and disinformation both refer to wrong or false information, only disinformation is deliberately misleading.)
