Disinformation around the COVID-19 pandemic, measures taken to contain it and vaccine roll-out campaigns continues to be significant.
vaccine-related disinformation increased and contributed to spreading fear and mistrust in any type of vaccine.

Russia and China, in particular, continue to intensively promote their own state-produced vaccines around the world.

greater clarity about the origins of this pandemic is necessary and feasible to achieve
We must take hypotheses about both natural and laboratory spillovers seriously until we have sufficient data.
A proper investigation should be transparent, objective, data-driven, inclusive of broad expertise, subject to independent oversight
theories of accidental release remained viable
