Comparison between relationships between trustworthy and fake news

Figure 2. Intention to get vaccinated.

Intention to get vaccinated increased based on fake news decisions

Figure 3. EC level related to intention to get vaccinated.

Note: Increase in EC level by a lack of environmental health concerns is relevant to the vaccination decision

Figure 4. Intention to get vaccinated compared with health consciousness.

Increase in lack of health consciousness with fake news
