Hence, efforts to inoculate the population continue.]]> 2021-08-12 07:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lmbbaintin/iru7fj0htj76mgw9/wish/1676541123 lmbbaintin https://padlet.com/lmbbaintin/iru7fj0htj76mgw9/wish/1676541251 However, with the rise of anti-vaccine propaganda comes an increase of vaccine hesitancy, further delaying the quest to end these lockdowns. These vaccine misinformation is a problem faced not only by the country, but also by the global community. In fact, a common conspiracy among Americans is that the vaccines are part of plan to kill the older adults in the population. A similar instance has also been reported in Davao City, where a religious leader was reprimanded after publicly claiming that vaccines turned people into zombies and that they contained microchips.]]> 2021-08-12 07:20:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lmbbaintin/iru7fj0htj76mgw9/wish/1676541251 lmbbaintin https://padlet.com/lmbbaintin/iru7fj0htj76mgw9/wish/1676541552 It is in times like these when partnerships from the different sectors are needed to give the people one last push towards safety from the enemy: the misinformation campaign against COVID-19 vaccines.]]> 2021-08-12 07:20:50 UTC https://padlet.com/lmbbaintin/iru7fj0htj76mgw9/wish/1676541552 Fear: The Root of All Evil lmbbaintin https://padlet.com/lmbbaintin/iru7fj0htj76mgw9/wish/1676542947 The spreading of misinformation is very rampant now in our society. The arrival of different vaccines in the country plays a major role in decreasing cases of COVID-19. But because of the different misconceptions and the spread of fake information, a lot of citizens are having doubts whether or not they should get vaccinated. The fear spawned by these fake information have caused people to disregard the Department of Education's advice to get vaccinated.

Vaccines work by simulating the virus or bacterium that causes the sickness. This causes the body to produce antibodies in response. Once a person has been infected with the disease-causing virus or bacteria, these antibodies will protect them.

Many people are concerned about the process of manufacturing and creating vaccines. They believe that the vaccines were rushed and, as a result, are ineffective against the virus. However, according to an article published by the Memorial Hospital of Converse Country, the approval process for both of these vaccines was able to be accelerated due to the nature of the vaccine's mRNA technology. Because a version of the SARS-CoV-2 virus does not need to be introduced into the immune system, the approval process may be sped up. In fact, mRNA technology has been in development since the 1960s, so it is not new and is able to pass the approvals process.

Moreover, echo chambers in similar social media platforms have exacerbated the negative effects of these COVID-19 vaccine misinformation posts. The rapidity of the spread of fake news as compared to factual ones contributes to the burden of combating such spurious acts. 

Although the government doesn’t mandate the public to get vaccinated, they encourage the public to get vaccinated and be protected against preventable disease. As citizens, it is our responsibility to cooperate with the government and private sectors in order to protect ourselves and our loved ones against this deadly virus.]]> 2021-08-12 07:34:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lmbbaintin/iru7fj0htj76mgw9/wish/1676553325 Standing firm: A Quest to Combat Vaccine Misinformation lmbbaintin https://padlet.com/lmbbaintin/iru7fj0htj76mgw9/wish/1676555081 This pandemic caught everyone off guard.
