Fake news normally comes from sites that concentrate in bogus and nonsense headline stories. Fake news is yellow journalism. For example, most of anti-vaxxers people didn’t want to take the vaccine because they believe the misinformation and conspiracy theories that were being spread to the society about the Covid-19 vaccine by conspiracy theorist or social media without proof and consulting with Health Expert or Doctor.
