US President Donald Trump has been the world's biggest driver of COVID-19 misinformation during the pandemic, a study from Cornell University said Thursday.

"We conclude therefore that the president of the United States was likely the largest driver of the COVID-19 misinformation 'infodemic'," the team wrote.

After miracle cures, the second-most prevalent misinformation topic was that the pandemic was created to advance a"new world order." Conspiracy theories linking the pandemic to philanthropist Bill Gates came next, then the hoax that COVID-19 symptoms are caused by 5G phone networks, anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and the notion that the virus is a form of population control.Attacks on US government scientist Dr Fauci, references to the debunked"Plandemic" video, and blaming the virus on Chinese people consuming bat soup rounded off the list.

CCP and WHO has been the world’s biggest driver of coronavirus misinformation

I would like to know how much did Cornell University get from the Chinese Communist Party

In addition to being a fraud and a hack, Fauci is also a historical revisionist. what Fauci said in March on 60 Minutes: People should not be walking around with masks. There is no reason to be walking around with a mask. '

Fake news

Even Cornell University has entered the Deep State....😳

Cornell University research. Good on them.

For real? Not the WHO and Tedros telling us to keep borders open or be racist, thus facilitating the ENTIRE F***ING PROBLEM?!

The Grinning Goose has been the biggest driver of misinformation, full stop.

The hypocrisy of alarmist news agencies like SBS making this claim is staggering.

Who gives a damn. The media is an even bigger driver of fake news about everything. Cornell Uni. is biased!

Trump: fake news ...next

Really? A convenient study a month before voting. A research funded by Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. No mention of China, their gross cover-up and their control over WHO. This article clearly proves who funded the 'research', why and for what. Only fools will fall for it.

Prove it SBS .He was the first to recognise it as a threat . Instead of simply repeating stuff,try reporting the news.

Maybe they should do a study into ’ “so called” coverage of US politics. That would be good for a laugh. 😂😂😂
