“When threat is high but perceived efficacy is low, defensive reactions are likely, such as denying the severity of, or susceptibility to, the threat (e.g., disparaging government health warnings) (Goldenberg & Arndt, 2008).

These people will engage in seeming self-defeating behaviors such as refusing to get vaccinated, if a vaccine is available. These people will refuse to stay home when they are sick.

Unfounded rumors and fake news will spread rapidly throughout the Internet. Heath authorities will struggle to contain rumors and to debunk conspiracy theories.”
