Alexandra Petrache explores the topic of misinformation and its implications on public perception and behavior, based on the BadVaxx game, the work of Professor Sander van der Linden, Cambridge professor of social psychology.
She discusses the challenges of distinguishing fact from fiction in a fragmented or partisan media landscape and goes into the BadVaxx, and the associated academic study.
The game aims to enhance resilience against vaccine misinformation by exposing players to manipulated scenarios, allowing them to identify misinformation and misinformation techniques, akin to a form of inoculation against misinformation.
