Vaccine misinformation, which first began spiraling during the Covid-19 pandemic, has grown in the United States in the years since, according to a new survey from the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania.

The comparison to global warming is a bit misleading. Vaccination rates depend wholly on individuals to take action. Climate change, on the other hand, requires corporations to act; individual actions, while helpful, will change nothing as long as corporations continue to operate as they always have.
My comment was in reference to online misinformation in general, as opposed to just vaccination rates. I was actually rhetorically replying directly to the Attorney General, who asked citizens to help stop spreading misinformation in the article.
I actually see quite a few parallels between air pollution and … maybe “information pollution”, perhaps?
Ahh - that is a fair clarification.
