As the COVID-19 pandemic has clearly demonstrated, access to information has the potential to save lives. This health crisis highlighted how media and information literacy can cope with sudden increases in misinformation.. Highlighted, in addition, the importance of making reliable information available in multiple languages, including indigenous languages. He also highlighted that immediate action must be taken for those most in need., including people with disabilities.
False information and conspiracy theories about COVID-19 and the response to it are virulent and harmful, and have life-threatening consequences for people and communities around the world. False information about the pandemic, amplified online and via social media, build on these theories and reinforce existing prejudices and ignorance, undermining trust in science and exacerbating hate speech.
