How to deal with fake Covid
information
ABC published a story about argument
arising between Chinese immigrants and their next
generation grown up here because update on Covid
and vaccine etc. fed to the older generation through
their social network of WeChat and online platforms
with fake news and misinformation cause conflict
with the other mainstream sources which their
children hang on to.
I have also heard about parents saying they
would go back Hong Kong for the Sinovac vaccine
rather than risking the Astrazeneca jab here. In the
Chinese social network there has been unfound
claims that mRNA-based vaccine could alter human
DNA. Such apprehension could adversely impact
on vaccine rollout in Australia hence could defer
freeing us from Covid bondage due to development
of vaccine hesitancy.
Obviously there is a generation gap of
viewpoint among the ethnic minorities. China
has been keen in influencing the life of Chinese
communities aboard with the aid of Chinese
social media to the extent of affecting the society
and security of Australia. If Chinese here do not
have faith in vaccine locally available but prefer
Chinese ones, would that be acceptable to the local
mainstream society? Indeed this also happens in
other ethnic communities. There are old Italian
Australians who are loyal listener of radio from Italy
refused to take on Astrazeneca due to knowing the
temporary suspension of the vaccine in Italy.
There are speculations that the purpose of
spreading such misinformation is to heighten the
failure of the Western world in combating the
pandemic, or maybe as a further blow to their
economy comeback by holding up wide-ranging
vaccination.This may not be proved but it is a
situation that Australians need to address.
The Australian government need to
counteract by better informing the ethnic minority
communities. An attempt to do it right back on
WeChat cannot be easy because the platform is
under tight surveillance/control by the Chinese
government with their massive propaganda team.
I think it is more effective for better education
and promotion be done through local community
platforms of the various ethnic minorities. Only
through this avenue the Australian government can
dispense uninterrupted and accurate Covid update
to the multicultural communities.
