Description

Iwona Młoźniak and co-authors wrote a 2023 study of health denialism and views on COVID-19 vaccines. Denialism means refusing facts that most experts accept, often through plots, cherry-picked claims, or fake experts. The pandemic brought a flood of false claims, from denying the outbreak to doubting vaccine safety.

The team held deep talks with fifty people who held mixed views on vaccines and other safety steps. They traced how denialist habits showed up in what people said and trusted. The goal was to map these views, not to score them. Knowing how such views form can help health staff talk with doubtful patients. It may also guide fair public messaging.
