France鈥檚 misinformation fight
France is one of the most vaccine sceptical countries on earth. We meet the people behind the disinformation battle raging in the country.
France is one of the most vaccine sceptical countries in the world. A recent poll suggests just 40% of French people intend to take a Covid-19 vaccine, but what's fuelling the doubt?
We meet the superstar doctor whose anti-authoritarian zeal has inspired an army of devotees, and the conspiracy obsessed shaman with a huge following on social media.
Plus, the activists staging a fightback. 鈥淢arie鈥 runs a pro-vaccine Facebook group aimed at countering disinformation but wants to remain anonymous following a string of death threats. And Tristan Mendes France works with the team behind 鈥淐onspiracy Watch鈥, a site that keeps a close eye on the spread of toxic information online.
