Recent academic debate has seen the emergence of claim that misinformation is not a significant problem. We believe arguments used to support this minimizing position are flawed, particularly if interpreted (e.g., by policymakers or public) as suggesting can be safely ignored. Here, we rebut two main claims, namely substantive concern (1) due its low incidence and (2) because it no causal influence on notable political behavioral outcomes. Through critical review current literature, demonstrate prevalence non-negligible reasonably inclusive definitions applied impacts important beliefs behaviors.

The unpredictability of the epidemics caused by new, unknown viruses, combined with differing responsibilities among government departments, often leads to a prisoner's dilemma in epidemic information governance. In this context, whistle-blower effect health departments delayed reporting avoid potential retaliation, and cry-wolf administrative results sustained observation ineffective warnings. To address these challenges, we employ game theory analyze dynamics governance focus on two external mechanisms-superior accountability media supervision-that can help resolve during after an outbreak. Our analysis indicates that it is necessary increase strategic coordination whistle-blowers short-term decision-making From long-term evolution perspective, maintaining optimal levels superior supervision essential overcoming dilemma.
