Resumo

This review of disinformation during the COVID-19 crisis provides a theoretical, conceptual, and exploratory analysis of infodemic and disinfodemic in times of public health crisis. The article attempts to clarify what infodemic and disinfodemic are, within the framework of bioinformationalism, reflects on whether we are too late to tackle them, exposes the dangers for public health, democracies, and historical truth due to the rise of viral conspiracy theories, fake news, and smear campaigns against scientific and health authorities, and analyses the communicative role of scientists and journalists in resolving this health crisis
