Coronavirus (1404) Nature: World commits to a pandemic response pact: what's next (2)

2 December, 2021

Indeed, the efforts continue to produce more vaccines and distribute/sell them, equally or not equally is another subject. The biggest problem has been the misinformation. It has been said many times by many experts that the misinformation has been more dangerous than the virus itself and that sharing the bad news and exchanging rumors have more effect on people than the virus itself. Leaders of this world that are getting together to create another group are failing once again to deal with the real issue. Information information information.
