- 3 years ago
US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy raised the alarm on Thursday over a growing wave of misinformation about Covid-19 and related vaccines that threatens efforts to quell the pandemic.
In his first advisory as the nation's top doctor under US President Joe Biden, Murthy called on tech companies to tweak their algorithms to further demote false information and share more data with researchers and the government to help teachers, healthcare workers and the media fight misinformation.
Murthy also urged Americans not to spread questionable information online.
