HPLS 43, 51 (2021). https://doi.org/10.1007/s40656-021-00408-40391-9714https://doi.org/10.1007/s40656-021-00408-4https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/97276The paper argues that the large extent of disinformation has increased the number of deaths from coronavirus due to the proliferation of hoaxes spread via digital tools and media. It is noted that this problem could worsen in the post-COVID society and as such should be understood as having significant political import. Moreover, the phenomenon of disinformation has raised ethical questions around how to actively prevent deaths indirectly caused by hoaxes, as well as epistemological questions around maintaining criteria of truthfulness.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/journal article1742-6316https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40656-021-00408-4open access1COVID-19disinformationhoaxesTeoría del conocimientoOntologíaMetafísica72 Filosofía7102.04 Ética Filosófica
