COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy: analyzing anti-vaccine rhetoric on Greek Facebook

Abstract

The distinction between beliefs and facts, as well as between science and pseudoscience, appears to be hazy in the post-truth era. This study draws inspiration from public discourse concerning the safety of COVID-19 vaccines during the pandemic, aiming to explore the narratives of COVID-19 vaccine skeptics within the Greek online public sphere.
