This paper presents the evolution of fake news disseminated about vaccines and the SARS-CoV-2 virus and its adverse impacts on the current Brazilian health crisis. This quantitative, empirical study is based on the notifications received by the Eu Fiscalizo app, through which the Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp platforms were identified as the principal means for disseminating and sharing rumors and misinformation about COVID-19. We observed large-scale circulation of fake news about vaccines directly related to the Brazilian political polarization, which became prevalent four months after the first COVID-19 case was recorded in the country. We can conclude that this phenomenon was crucial in discouraging the adherence of segments of the Brazilian population to social distancing and vaccination campaigns.
本文介绍了关于疫苗和 SARS-CoV-2 病毒的假新闻的演变，以及其对当前巴西卫生危机的不良影响。这项定量、实证研究基于 Eu Fiscalizo 应用程序收到的通知，该应用程序通过该应用程序识别了 Instagram、Facebook、Twitter 和 WhatsApp 平台，这些平台是传播和分享有关 COVID-19 的谣言和错误信息的主要途径。我们观察到与巴西政治两极化直接相关的疫苗假新闻大规模传播，这一现象在该国首例 COVID-19 病例出现四个月后变得普遍。我们可以得出结论，这种现象在阻止巴西部分人群遵守社会隔离和疫苗接种运动方面发挥了关键作用。
