Researchers from NCRI and Rutgers have developed a qualitative and quantitative overview that details the categories of anti-vaccine disinformation, identifies major online groups amplifying anti-vaccine disinformation, and best practices for countering antivaccination attitudes. Combating the contagion of disinformation thus requires a new paradigm of critical intelligence detailing how information spreads, a set of best practices to interpret and share such intelligence, and a set of tools that can help inform these practices to chart disinformation at a massive scale and in agile fashion.

Much of the anti-vaccine disinformation is intentional, and social media influencers who amplify such disinformation simultaneously profit off of subscribers, books, “detoxes,” and vitamins they inaccurately claim will prevent Covid-19. The public has witnessed anti-vaccine motifs appearing on coordinated protest signs, highway overpasses, and most concerning, across all social media platforms.
