To gather news articles from the web that discuss the Cochrane Review, we used Altmetric Explorer from Altmetric.com and retrieved articles on August 1, 2023. We selected all articles that were written in English, published in the United States, and had a publication date prior to March 10, 2023 (according to the “Mention Date” on Altmetric.com). This date is significant as it is when Cochrane issued a statement about the "misleading interpretation" of the Cochrane Review. The collection of news articles is presented in the Altmetric_data.csv file. The dataset contains the following data that we exported from Altmetric Explorer: - Publication date of the news article - Title of the news article - Source/publication venue of the news article - URL - Country We manually checked and added the following information: - Whether the article still exists - Whether the article is accessible - Whether the article is from the original source We assigned MAXQDA IDs to the news articles. News articles were assigned the same ID when they were (a) identical or (b) in the case of Article 207, closely paraphrased, paragraph by paragraph. Inaccessible items were assigned a MAXQDA ID based on their "Mention Title". For each article from Altmetric.com, we first tried to use the Web Collector for MAXQDA to download the article from the website and imported it into MAXQDA (version 22.7.0). If an article could not be retrieved using the Web Collector, we either downloaded the .html file or in the case of Article 128, retrieved it from the NewsBank database through the University of Illinois Library. We then manually extracted direct quotations from the articles using MAXQDA. We included surrounding words and sentences, and in one case, a news agency’s commentary, around direct quotations for context where needed. The quotations (with context) are the positions in our analysis. We also identified who was quoted. We excluded quotations when we could not identify who or what was being quoted. We annotated quotations with codes representing groups (government agencies, other organizations, and research publications) and individuals (authors of the Cochrane Review, government agency representatives, journalists, and other experts such as epidemiologists). The MAXQDA_data.csv file contains excerpts from the news articles that contain the direct quotations we identified. For each excerpt, we included the following information: - MAXQDA ID of the document from which the excerpt originates; - The collection date and source of the document; - The code with which the excerpt is annotated; - The code category; - The excerpt itself.

To gather news articles from the web that discuss the Cochrane Review (DOI: 10.1002/14651858.CD006207.pub6), we retrieved articles on August 1, 2023 from used Altmetric.com's Altmetric Explorer. We selected all articles that were written in English, published in the United States, and had a publication date on or after March 10, 2023 (according to the "Mention Date" from Altmetric.com). This date is significant as it is when Cochrane issued a statement (https://www.cochrane.org/news/statement-physical-interventions-interrupt-or-reduce-spread-respiratory-viruses-review) about the "misleading interpretation" of the Cochrane Review made by news articles. A previously published dataset for "Arguing about Controversial Science in the News: Does Epistemic Uncertainty Contribute to Information Disorder?" (DOI: 10.13012/B2IDB-4781172_V1) contains annotation of the news articles published before March 10, 2023. Our dataset annotates the news published on or after March 10, 2023. The Altmetric_data.csv describes the selected news articles with both data exported from Altmetric Explorer and data we manually added Data exported from Altmetric Explorer: - Publication date of the news article - Title of the news article - Source/publication venue of the news article - URL - Country Data we manually added: - Whether the article is accessible - The date we checked the article - The corresponding ID of the article in MAXQDA For each article from Altmetric.com, we first tried to use the Web Collector for MAXQDA to download the article from the website and imported it into MAXQDA (version 22.8.0). We manually extracted direct quotations from the articles using MAXQDA. We included surrounding words and sentences around direct quotations for context where needed. We manually added codes and code categories in MAXQDA to identify the individuals (chief editors of the Cochrane Review, government agency representatives, journalists, and other experts such as physicians) or organizations (government agencies, other organizations, and research publications) who were quoted. The MAXQDA_data.csv file contains excerpts from the news articles that contain the direct quotations we annotated. For each excerpt, we included the following information: - MAXQDA ID of the document from which the excerpt originates - The collection date and source of the document - The code we assigned to the excerpt - The code category - The excerpt itself
MM-COVID is a dataset for fake news detection related to COVID-19. This dataset provides the multilingual fake news and the relevant social context. It contains 3,981 pieces of fake news content and 7,192 trustworthy information from English, Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi, French and Italian, 6 different languages.
À ce jour, quatre vaccins jugés efficaces contre la Covid-19 ont été annoncés et un plan de vaccination a débuté dans tout le pays à la fin du mois de décembre 2020. Si les Français se sont d'abord montrés réticents à l'idée de se faire vacciner contre cette maladie, l'opinion publique a fini par s'inverser et en avril 2021, 51 % des sondés déclaraient vouloir se faire vacciner.
Vaccin contre la Covid-19 : la course à l'efficacité
Alors que la Covid-19 a fait plus d'un million de victimes dans le monde et que le nombre d'infections ne cesse de croître chaque jour depuis le début de l'année 2020, plusieurs laboratoires ont activement travaillé à l'élaboration d'un vaccin permettant de combattre l'épidémie. En novembre 2020, plusieurs annonces ont été faites, promettant des vaccins à l'efficacité variable. Ainsi, le vaccin développé par Moderna présente une efficacité de 95 %, de même que celui qui devrait être commercialisé par Pfizer et BioNTech (qui avait d'abord tablé sur une efficacité à 90 %). Plus récemment, le vaccin anglo-suédois ChAdOx1 nCoV-2019 serait efficace à 70,4 %, et particulièrement chez les personnes âgées. Enfin, le vaccin russe Sputnik V affiche un taux d'efficacité de 92 %. La multiplication des vaccins proposés pour lutter contre l'épidémie de coronavirus peut sembler superflue, mais il n'en est rien : elle permet l'utilisation de différents vaccins à travers le monde avec des efficacités plus ou moins importantes selon les tranches d'âge.
Une défiance à l'égard des vaccins
Si les Français affirment à 91 % leur confiance dans la science, un tiers pourtant se méfient des vaccins. Et bien que la France fasse partie des pays les plus affectés par l'épidémie de Sars-Cov-2, les Français figurent parmi les moins enclins au monde à se faire vacciner contre ce nouveau coronavirus. Les raisons de ce rejet sont diverses. D'abord, le temps écoulé entre les débuts de la recherche et la distribution de ces vaccins est inédit et suscite la perplexité chez certains. En effet, alors que la majorité des vaccins nécessitent en moyenne sept à dix ans pour être créés, ceux destinés à lutter contre la Covid-19 seront développés puis mis sur le marché en l'espace d'un à deux ans. Les détracteurs de ces vaccins estiment que ce laps de temps est insuffisant pour s'assurer de l'efficacité de ce vaccin sans effets secondaires graves. D'autre part, l'année 2020 a été le témoin d'une explosion de fake news et de thèses complotistes de tous genres liées au coronavirus. Ainsi, certaines théories pour le moins infondées mais très relayées rendent les GAFAM responsables de cette épidémie dans le but de consolider leur domination économique, sur fond d'incriminations à l'encontre de Bill Gates, accusé d'utiliser les vaccins pour implanter des puces électroniques destinées à surveiller les populations.
