COVID-19 and Vaccine Fake News Campaigns in Indonesia Minorities

To prevent vaccine usage, disinformation on vaccines are spread. The content of the fake news usually contains false information on other ethnicities to put blame on them. For example, a campaign used to target ethnic Chinese includes assertions that Sinovac vaccines were a “way to hurt Islamic countries like Indonesia,”. Statements also said the vaccines were laced with “microchips to spy on Indonesians,” and that they contained non-halal ingredients.
