(Reuters) – The U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy said on Thursday that COVID-19 misinformation comes mostly from individuals but also a few “bad actors.”
“There is misinformation that is coming from bad actors, but what is also important to point out is that much of the misinformation that is circulating online is often coming from individuals,” Murthy said at a White House news briefing.
