Google announces new information panels to stop misleads about Covid-19 vaccine
On Thursday, Google has announced new information panels to counter misleads about Coronavirus disease and COVID-19 Vaccine. The tech giant is launching the information panels into search results to defeat misinformation about COVID-19 and trying to educate the nation to be aware of the information that is available in their locations.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a contagious disease that caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
The first case was recognized in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. It has since spread worldwide, resulting in an ongoing pandemic.
Symptoms of COVID-19 are variable, but it includes fever, cough, fatigue, breathing difficulties, and loss of smell and taste. Symptoms begin one to 14 days after exposure to the virus.
The virus that causes COVID-19 mainly spreads when an infected person is in close contact with another person. Small droplets and aerosols containing the virus that can spread from an infected person's nose and mouth as they breathe, cough, sneeze, sing, or speak. Other persons get infected if the virus gets into the body through their mouth, nose, or eyes.
The virus can also spread via fomites (contaminated surfaces) although this is often not thought to be the best route of transmission.
A COVID‑19 vaccine is any of several different vaccine technologies that intended to supply immunity against coronavirus disease 2019.
In mid-December 2020, 57 vaccine candidates were in clinical research. They are namely, 40 in Phase I–II trials and 17 in Phase II–III trials. No vaccine candidate had fully completed a phase III clinical trial or obtained licensure, as of 13 December.
COVID-19 vaccine conspiracy like a vaccine can cause infertility, kill recipients and implant microchips, etc were banned only in October.
According to the reports, YouTube creators are making millions of videos that provide misinformation about COVID-19. Google said it had already taken down more than 600,000 videos related to Coronavirus which has misleading health information COVID-19. According to Google, it was not completely on them to screen videos about their content and decide the penalty of the creator. However, they're trying to try and do their part by connecting creators with health experts to form accurate content.
In July, Google already banned websites from running ads on dangerous content that goes against scientific consensus regarding Coronavirus.
The tech giant, Google said as the world turns its focus to the deployment of vaccines, the type of information people need will evolve. Communities are going to be vaccinated at an unprecedented pace and scale. This will require sharing information to educate the general public, including addressing vaccine misperceptions and hesitance and helping to surface official guidance.
The information panels will be added with the information on each and individual COVID-19 vaccine and will counter the vaccine misinformation. This will also guide the nations to how, when, and where the vaccine will be available for people to get shots.
According to the tech giant, the COVID-19 information panel only offers authoritative information that was viewed over 400 billion times. The tech giant has been updating its platforms for several months, with features showing Covid-related data from governments and health authorities just like the World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control.
According to the reports, Google News now contributes an additional $1.5 million to create a COVID-19 Vaccine Media Hub and supports new fact-checking research. The hub is going to be a resource for journalists, providing around-the-clock access to scientific expertise and research updates. The hub is going to be led by the Australian Science Media Centre, and with support from technology non-profit Meedan. The initiative also includes science media centers and public health experts from Latin America, Africa, Europe, North America, and therefore the Asia-Pacific region. The content will also be made available in seven languages.
At the first stage, the panels are available for the United Kingdom, where the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine is approved and administered, as The Verge reported.
Google will also introduce the features of COVID-19 in more countries.
