DESCRIPTION
The World Health Organization has described the proliferation of false or misleading
health-related information as an “infodemic,” with potential devastating implications
for public health and social stability. This symposium will bring together experts
in the fields of law, medicine, and public health to explore the rise of health misinformation
and to consider potential solutions. Topics covered include misinformation related
to vaccines, abortion, cancer, and COVID-19; the role of social media and potential
regulatory solutions; and the impact of misinformation on the physician-patient relationship.
