1. La Desinformación como Causa Directa de Muerte.
Numerosos testimonios y opiniones señalan que la desinformación deliberada sobre las vacunas, especialmente la del COVID-19, es directamente responsable de muertes prevenibles. Se comparten historias personales de amigos y familiares que, influenciados por narrativas falsas, rechazaron la vacunación y fallecieron a causa de la enfermedad.
- To be clear: the covid vaccine disinformation, specifically, has been killing people since 2021.
- I had a friend who believed all the anti-vax and anti-mask nonsense, and he died of covid because he didn't seek treatment. Disinformation is what really killed him.
- My cousin and his wife didn't get vaccinated because of this sort of disinformation. They both died of covid long after the vaccine was widely available and administered.
- Disinformation kills. Period. And this is even before new heath secretary starts messing up. 10 years without a measles death, now back to zero.
- Disinformation by rw media about the covid vaccine cost hundreds of thousands of lives in red areas, that had lower vax rates. The disinfo continues & takes more lives from those who act upon the false info they are given, for political objectives.
2. El Resurgimiento de Enfermedades Prevenibles.
Existe una creciente preocupación por el resurgimiento de enfermedades que estaban prácticamente erradicadas, como el sarampión y la tuberculosis. Los comentarios atribuyen estos brotes a la caída en las tasas de vacunación, impulsada por campañas de desinformación que han erosionado la confianza en vacunas seguras y efectivas.
- Vaccines save lives and prevent cancer. Disinformation is killing public health and will lead to a recurrence of diseases that we as physicians haven’t seen in a generation.
- This disease was virtually a thing of the past until these damn anti-vaccine crackpots, rfk, jr., & qanon lunatics began selling people (many of them already skeptical) mountains of disinformation.
- The midwest is seeing the spread of tuberculosis. Texas is seeing the rise of measles. We didn’t see the spread of these highly contagious communal diseases because we vaccinated our child. Vaccines save lives. Misinformation and disinformation steals lives.
- When vaccination rates drop, herd immunity weakens, and outbreaks become inevitable. What we’re seeing in texas is a direct result of disinformation overriding decades of public health progress.
- This isn’t just a public health issue—it’s a crisis of disinformation and neglect. Measles was nearly eradicated. Now it’s back because truth is under attack and science is being sidelined.
3. Politización y Amplificación en Medios y Redes Sociales.
Se critica duramente el papel de figuras políticas, medios de comunicación y plataformas de redes sociales en la amplificación de la desinformación. Se argumenta que estos actores han politizado la salud pública, han dado credibilidad a teorías sin fundamento y han creado un ecosistema de información que fomenta la desconfianza en la ciencia.
- The internet disinformation machines have had many adverse effects, one of them is vaccine skepticism.
- Covid-19 is not over. Due to less and less getting vaccinated, we're getting ever more strains - especially due to u.s. Radical right elected officials and r/w media platforms spewing vaccines disinformation.
- Let’s not ignore the role social media plays in amplifying disinformation about disease. After over a million americans died of & more disabled by , many people still reject the covid vaccine. Memes can trump with deadly effect.
- The anti-vax movement is a psyop created by russia and launched in the early 2010's. It was weaponized for the 2016 election. Dead kids are the result.
- Stop using language like "americans trust in vaccines has been declining" and be more truthful: "americans have been subjected to an onslaught of anti-vaccine disinformation".
4. Las Víctimas de la Desinformación y la Erosión de la Confianza.
Los comentarios exploran la complejidad de por qué las personas creen en la desinformación, a menudo viéndolas como víctimas de campañas de propaganda. Se destaca cómo la desinformación no solo afecta a los no vacunados, sino que pone en riesgo a toda la comunidad, especialmente a los más vulnerables, al socavar la inmunidad colectiva y la confianza en las instituciones.
- Disinformation has many victims. A baby with congenital measles is obviously a victim. The unvaccinated mother is another. The grandparents who did not have the mom vaccinated are also victims. I have sympathy for them all, especially as the consequences arrive.
- The disinformation is a virus in its own way. I have developed a lot of compassion for parents who make this dangerous choice (which they believe is the safer choice) because as we can see everywhere.people live in the info bubbles they live in.
- It’s a real testament to the power of disinformation that people are willing to have their children die of preventable diseases. Vaccines are a modern miracle.
- Disinformation on vaccines has created a problem that shouldn’t exist. Vaccines have afforded us the privilege of not having to deal with deadly diseases. People have forgotten the affects of diseases on the body. Re-education is necessary.
- These people are victims of a mass disinformation campaign. Let’s be sure our anger is primarily directed at the people who convinced them that being unvaxxed was good for them.
