One of the most important problems detected during the COVID-19 pandemic is the one originated by the dissemination of disinformation among society, a fact which can severely damage the compliance of the protocols established to fight against this pandemic. As a consequence, this can cause an epidemiological spread of the virus. 

A clear example can be appreciated when on April 2020 the President of the United States, Donald Trump, suggested the injection of disinfectant in order to combat an infection by SARS-CoV-2. Immediately, multiple medical professionals denied that information. Notwithstanding, an important number of people who entered the hospital after ingesting various products was detected.

Uncontrolled disinformation without scientific basis dissemination causes many problems: creating fear among the population or even a huge public health issue if people adopt methods allegedly miraculous for the cure or prevention of the illness (for example, the Miracle Mineral Solution or steam inhalation).
