Fake News on Healthcare

The Internet is a vast repository of useful knowledge, but it has been contaminated by the spread of false information. Relying on misinformation can be disastrous. According to a World Health Organization survey, about 6,000 individuals were hospitalised throughout the world as a result of fake news on COVID-19 in the first three months of 2020. During this time span, at least 800 individuals have died as a result of COVID-19 misrepresentation. Fake news datasets in healthcare, on the other hand, are rare, small, and extremely unbalanced in academia. This paper presents a curated dataset on fake news in the healthcare domain.

互联网是一座浩瀚的知识宝库，然而其亦遭受了虚假信息的侵蚀。依赖错误的信息可能导致灾难性的后果。根据世界卫生组织的一项调查，2020年第一季度，全球约有6,000人因COVID-19虚假新闻而入院治疗。在此期间，至少有800人因COVID-19的错误描述而丧生。相较之下，在学术界，医疗健康领域的虚假新闻数据集既罕见又规模微小，且极度失衡。本研究论文呈现了一个关于医疗健康领域虚假新闻的精选数据集。
