An antivacuna marginal motion took the merit of the COVVI-19 Pandemia to bring conspiracy theories to a much broader audience, promoting the bad data of life of life that still last five years later, warned the mavens.
The skepticism of vaccines was long before Covid, however, the pandemic “served as an accelerator, helping a niche movement in a harder force,” according to an article in 2023 of Lancet Journal. Read also | Five things we know and that we still do not know in Covid, five years after it appeared
Pandemia also marked a replacement in the strategy through Antivacums, which in the past went to the parents because the young people won the maximum blows.
But when new generation vaccines have evolved in record time to help COVID, a mandatory vaccination for adults in many countries has been brought.
Vaccinal skepticism had a much broader audience, bringing other people combined through the sides of the political spectrum.
“During this period, we observe several bubbles with well -defined borders converge in anti -cachamic beliefs,” said Romy Sauvayre, a French sociologist specializing in vaccination.
Pandemia saw conspiracy theorists, lovers of “alternative medicine”, politicians and even some doctors and researchers do or magnify false data about vaccines or with style.
An example of hydroxycloroquine, which the debatable French researcher Didier Raault can cure car, in an initial recently retired study.
Donald Trump, who president at that time and inaugurated on Monday, one of those who later promoted drugs.
“Behind those doctors of the quite radical media, there are broader disorders of confidence in the physical conditioning authorities,” said sociologist Jeremy Ward, who has studied vaccination in France since 2020.
Beyond the concerns of physical aptitude, “this basically structured movement around the defense of individual freedom,” said Jocelyn Raude, a researcher in Psychology at Fitness.

The anti -cacuna movement has discovered a ground, namely, fertile in the end, some followers achieve power.
The Trump selection for the Secretary of Health, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. , has extended to the anti -vaccinas plots, specifically through suggesting that Covid is an ethnically directed virus.
The Couples Digital Hate Center appointed RFK Jr. and his anti -vacuna organization for the defense of childhood aptitude, from which Kennedy has retired, among his “dozen misinformation” of the main anti -vaxxers online.
Callum Hood, the middle manager of the medium, said that “Kennedy’s accounts were among the fastest anti-vacunas expansion, says the pandemic,” achieving a millions audience.
“It is a very strong position to be on the occasion when you start seeing to build a basis for their political ambitions. “
Noel Brewer, professor of public aptitude at the University of North Carolina and one of the authors of the Lancet study, that “social networks had been the backbone of efforts to misinformation of vaccines. “
The consequences of this mass misinformation are difficult to calculate.
“Some researchers who repeated exposure to false data can bring other people not to be vaccinated, while others that the effect is relatively low because it would allow them to justify the pre -existing vaccine vaccine,” Array Raude said.
Meg Schaeffer, an epidemiologist at the SAS Institute, told AFP that “misinformation around Covvid” reduced general vaccination rates in the United States, which adds to long -term measles. Read also | All about two effects of the rare vaccine of COVID-19 detected in a study
“The result is many cases of measles in children, part of which they are hospitalized, this is that we are never used to seeing in the United States,” he said.
With fears of accumulating the prospective risk of avian flu to cause a massive epidemic in humans, it is also feared that vaccination doubt can inhibit the global ability to boost pandemic.
“If, for example, we face a pandemic in the near future, we would have primary disorders with the use of vaccines due to this,” said Dutch Virologist Marion Koopmans to the AFP.
The global global diverts his attention from Covid, some anti-vaxx influencers have rotated other conspiracy theories.
“These same accounts now percentage or skeptical content related to meteorological change,” said Laurent Cordonier, a sociologist at the Descarttes Foundation.
Although those subjects seem connected, “the driving force is a feeling against the system,” he added.
