The presentation will examine how misinformation, selective data use, and social media chambers influence public attitude towards vaccines. The hesitancy in vaccine has become a very growing concern in public health. By analyzing such factors, the project will reveal how these tactics deepen vaccine denial and play their part in science denial. Understanding this information will allow there to be improvements and rebuild confidence in not only vaccines but also scientific information.
