'Fake News' About Covid-19 Vaccine has Become a Second Pandemic, Red Cross Chief Says

News 18  

Covid-19 vaccines are fast approaching, but a second pandemic might impede efforts to recover from the first, according to the president of a global humanitarian aid group. Francesco Rocca, president of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, said in a virtual briefing to the UN Correspondents Association on Monday that governments and institutions needed to implement measures to combat growing mistrust and misinformation. The leader of the world’s largest humanitarian aid network said his organization shares “the sense of relief and optimism” that developments in Covid-19 vaccines bring. “This high level of mistrust has been evident since the very beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic and have clearly facilitated transmission of the virus at all levels,” he said.
