I don't think this is just social media's fault. Lots of misinformation starts with so-called "professional journalists", at least in some countries. Plus, even the sources like CDC and WHO have not been clear in their communication. Does anybody remember how long they resisted the idea of using face masks? and the whole debate between droplets vs aerosol? Sure, science takes time, but their communication was not good, at all, leaving a lot of speculations possible.

One thing is the “confusion” made by CDC or WHO at the beginning of the pandemic, they have released some controversial informations but because the pandemic is a totally new fact and, as also you said, science takes time. Another thing is the true disinformation that some guys/channels are making, big and true fake news like “the vaccine contains 5G microchip” and other crazy theories, that are the point of the article, and some big tech are not doing enough or are doing it late.
