Manipulation of the news, through a fabricated headline

HIBRID

The dubious portal "specialja.com" has published an article titled "Get vaccinated against coronavirus, Pëllumb Pipero: Maybe you won't become a Viking, but after a year the worst will happen to you."

Albanian doctor, Pëllumb Pipero, yesterday (January 11) after receiving the first dose of the vaccine against the Corona virus, gave a statement to the Albanian public about the possible side effects after receiving the vaccine.

He stated that generally, the side effects of this vaccine are minor:

"At least the ones we know about, the short-term side effects. We don't know about the long-term side effects yet, because the vaccine is relatively new. It's about pain, redness, sometimes nausea, vomiting, but I didn't have any of those. Neither have the people who have been vaccinated so far."

After fact-checking analysis by hibrid.info, it turns out that in no case did Pipero say that the worst would happen to them after a year, as claimed in the title of the article published by "specialja.com".

Analyze:

The dubious portal "specialja.com" has taken the statement of the Albanian doctor, to which it has then given a false title. Knowing that this portal has nearly 80 thousand followers on the social network Facebook, then the chances are very high that readers will be misinformed about the side effects after receiving the anti-covid vaccine. After verification carried out by hibrid.info, it turns out that this article is categorized as "misinformation" and "clickbait".


Reasoning:

Disinformation – A “Disinformation” rating is given to media reporting that contains a “mix” of inaccurate sources or even half-truthful content. This rating will also address reports that have incorrect attributions or headlines that do not reflect the text in terms of accuracy of information.

Clickbait – “Clickbait” are those texts whose title has no basis in the content of the following text. Such texts and articles aim to attract the attention of the reader or even the consumer with a sensational title by promising content that does not actually exist and are created mainly out of financial interest, that is, due to increased readability. So, this type of text is only intended to click, which can be converted into a profit for the content producer.
