Description

Disinformation, bad science and fake news have spiked to unprecedented levels as the globe has been battered by COVID-19 for over a year. The WHO coined the description: an infodemic. To a nation firmly in the grip of the second infection wave, facing the death of loved ones every day and a scarcity of vaccines as they become available, President Cyril Ramaphosa wrote in his regular open letter that “… (w)hen it comes to fighting a deadly pandemic like this, honesty and trust are just as valuable as any vaccine.” Committed to credible information from expert sources that can help viewers make the best decisions, Carte Blanche investigates how disinformation, a lack of transparency and fear can combine to fuel the pandemic. We take some of the most frequently asked questions to some of the country’s top scientists.
