An infodemic is a rapid and far-reaching spread of both accurate and inaccurate information about certain issues.[1][2] The word is a portmanteau of information and epidemic and is used as a metaphor to describe how misinformation and disinformation can spread like a virus from person to person and affect people like a disease.[3] This term, originally coined in 2003 by David Rothkopf, rose to prominence in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]
