'Once misinformation has taken hold, it is notoriously hard to correct,' said Jeanine Guidry, who led a piece of research into how vaccine lies were previously spreading on Pinterest.

Misinformation about a vaccine linked to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is"steadily rising" on social media, experts say.

Mainstream social networks have ramped up efforts to stop the spread of vaccine lies, but one researcher involved in the project says this may not be enough. "One of my concerns is that by the time that, hopefully, a safe and effective vaccine will be available, a certain percentage of people will not be willing to get the vaccine because they are convinced it is not safe," the lead researcher continued.

Well done, this means I won’t have to wait to get my shots.

If you’re vaccinated why are you worried about me? If you have a mask on, why are you worried about me. 99%+ chance I’ll survive it... better worry about yourself.

After 22000 lies would you believe Trump?

Good, people are finally opening their eyes. All you need is a normal immune system. And it is very unethically to stigmatize people who dare to think for themselves iso swallowing the rubbish of governments and their slaves in the media.

Smallpox, a virus, was killing 1/3rd of infected for 3,000 yrs UNTIL scientists developed vaccines. Public Health got EVERYONE vaccinated! Smallpox is gone! Polio virus finally got a vaccine! Measles, hepatitis, tetanus all controlled w continued vaccines! COVID? Here to stay!

“Anti-vax posts against future COVID-19 vaccine steadily increasing on social media, researchers warn” Media must differentiate between anti-vaxxers of old and people who are sincerely fearful that a NEW vaccine for Covid_19 will be hastily approved & not proven safe/effective.

This is why COVID19 will never go away for the majority ... dumbass people afraid of a shot.

Make the vaccine a requirement - not an option - to attend school or work. They'll knock that shit off pretty damn quick.

Warning us they're not going to make as much money as they thought. What is actually in those syringes?

No need for a vaccine for a virus with a 99% survival rate you dopes. Lay off the Kool-Aid stop being 🐑 😷 all for politics.

we may have a lack of jobs and a lack of PPE, but America has no shortage of stupidity... Idiocracy 😒 antivaxxers DomesticTerrorists

They're gonna be sorely disappointed when the vaccine isn't ready til 2040, huh?

Correct, i will not be participating

Half of Americans will not take a COVID-19 vaccine once made available, poll showsDr. Peter Hotez says the U.S. needs an “aggressive effort” to fight against the anti-vaccine movement, following the release of an AP poll showing that half of Americans will not take a COVID-19 vaccine once it’s made available. Until a vaccine is fully tested to be safe and effective, why would anyone take one? We aren't going to take trump stooges at their word that it's safe. Life is short enough without putting it in the hands of idiots. THE ONLY WAY WE ARE GOING TO GET AN” AGGRESSIVE EFFORT” TO FIGHT AGAINST THIS COVID-19 VIRUS IS WHEN VP BIDEN IS ELECTED INTO OFFICE, OTHERWISE MORE PEOPLE WILL DYING, SAD TO SAY, BECAUSE TRUMP HAS DONE NOTHING SINCE THE PANDEMIC STARTED!!!! Well then its their choice ?
