Why the White House needs a plan to combat vaccine misinformation

Published

on

As vaccine hesitancy continues to grow in the US, the White House is working on plans to prevent the spread of lies and misinformation surrounding Covid-19 jabs

This follows some Republican lawmakers publicly vocalising their doubts about the safety of vaccines.

It’s anticipated that US President Joe Biden will start tackling some of the falsehoods himself, as the Delta variant runs rampant throughout the country.

In addition to this, well known US surgeon General Doctor Vivek Murthy will also make an appearance at the White House in the coming days.

It’s expected he will discuss how the level of vaccine misinformation is now in itself a public health issue.

Key officials are aware that if they take steps that anger Republicans and vaccine sceptics, this may alienate these individuals further.

However it’s likely that the administration will move to take a harder stance in the coming days, and start to call out Republican elected officials and social media platforms spreading lies.

Singer and actress Olivia Rodrigo, known for her top charting debut album “Sour” is partnering with President Joe Biden to encourage people, especially teens, to get vaccinated—a move by the White House to increase vaccination rates.

White House officials have cited Rodrigo’s popularity among young people and her influencer status with over 28 million followers on social media as part of the reason for her attendance at the White House.

Only 24.9% of Americans between the ages of 12 and 15, and 37.1% of Americans between the ages of 16 and 17 fully vaccinated.

Last month, President Biden warned people to get vaccinated amid growing numbers of the highly transmissible delta variant saying, it is “particularly dangerous” for young people
