When is it News? The Danger of Reporting Misinformation is that it Spreads, So Does the Damage. We Need to Prioritize a Principled Approach
Journal Title: Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications - Year 2023, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
I’m writing to renew and amplify my concerns about misinformation and disinformation initially highlighted in this journal in 2022. We pointed out at the time that from the perspective of public health and bioethics, there are very real dangers in promoting misinformation and disinformation. We provided examples of key aspects of public health where populations suffer including public health messages on prevention, vaccine use, and wellness. The resulting behaviors of populations contribute to incidence of disease, premature death, and growth in the impact of social determinants of health.
