Flawed scientific papers fuelling Covid-19 misinformation Inaccurate information about vaccines is especially dangerous at a time when uptake of the shots has slowed in the United States By Manon Jacob July 30, 2021 04:54 BST Scientific studies with poor methodology and inaccurate findings are exacerbating a Covid-19 misinformation crisis that is discouraging vaccination and putting lives at risk. The intense public interest in the pandemic and divisive debate in the United States over how to address it facilitates the spread of faulty research papers online, including by vaccine opponents.
