As rates of Covid-19 cases are once again on the rise nationwide, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy released an advisory calling the spread of health misinformation an “urgent threat” and asked Americans and social media companies to up their efforts to combat the problem.
“I am urging all Americans to help slow the spread of health misinformation during the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond,” Murthy wrote. “Health misinformation is a serious threat to public health. It can cause confusion, sow mistrust, harm people’s health, and undermine public health efforts.
