The COVID-19 global pandemic is a harbinger of a future destabilised world driven by climate change, rapid mass migration, food insecurity, state failures and epidemics. A significant feature fuelling this destabilised world is networked misinformation and disinformation (referred to as an infodemic), particularly in the area of health.
To describe the interactive dynamic of climate change; mass population movement; famine; state failure and epidemic disease, analyse developments over the year 2020-2021 and discuss their relationship to an infodemic about disease and public health responses and how this should be addressed in the future.
Using the concept of 'the Five Horsemen' of epochal change and network theory to guide a narrative review.
Concepts of epidemiology are reflected in how misinformation is spread around the world. Health care services and personnel face threats as a result that make it more difficult to manage pan global health risks effectively.
Heath care professionals at an individual and organisational level need to counter infodemic networks. Health care professionals who consistently spread misinformation should have their licence to practice withdrawn.
新冠疫情全球大流行预示着一个未来不稳定的世界，其由气候变化、大规模快速移民、粮食不安全、国家失灵和流行病所驱动。助长这个不稳定世界的一个显著特征是网络错误信息和虚假信息（称为信息疫情），尤其是在健康领域。
描述气候变化、大规模人口流动、饥荒、国家失灵和流行病的互动动态，分析2020年至2021年期间的发展情况，并讨论它们与关于疾病和公共卫生应对措施的信息疫情的关系，以及未来应如何应对。
运用划时代变革的“五骑士”概念和网络理论来指导叙述性综述。
流行病学概念体现在错误信息在全球的传播方式上。医疗服务和人员因此面临威胁，这使得有效管理全球健康风险变得更加困难。
个体层面和组织层面的医疗保健专业人员需要对抗信息疫情网络。持续传播错误信息的医疗保健专业人员应被吊销执业执照。
