The AP (3/13, Swenson, Klepper) reported that “journalists, public health officials and tech companies” have sought to counter the “bogus claims about the virus, masks and vaccines [that] have exploded since COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic a year ago,” but “much of the job of correcting misinformation has fallen to the world’s front-line medical workers.” The AP highlights that nurses are playing a key role in the effort, but concedes that “in some cases, it’s nurses and other health care workers themselves spreading misinformation. And many nurses say they encounter falsehoods about the coronavirus vaccine in their own families.”
