چکیده انگلیسی:
Fear, anxiety and even paranoia can proliferate during a pandemic. Such
conditions, even when subclinical, tend to be a product of personal and predispositional
factors, as well as shared cultural influences, including religious, literary, film, and gaming,
all of which can lead to emotional and less than rational responses. They can render people
vulnerable to engage in implausible conspiracy theories about the causes of illness and
governmental responses to it. They can also lead people to give credence to simplistic and
unscientific misrepresentations about medications and devices which are claimed to prevent,
treat or cure disease. In turn such vulnerability creates predatory opportunities for the
unscrupulous. This article notes the eruption of quackery during the 1889-1892 Russian Flu
and the 1918-1920 Spanish Flu and the emergence during 2020 of spurious claims during the
COVID-19 pandemic. It identifies consumer protection strategies and interventions
formulated during the 2020 pandemic. Using examples from the United States, Japan,
Australia and the United Kingdom, it argues that during a pandemic there is a need for three
responses by government to the risks posed by conspiracy theories and false representations:
calm, scientifically-based messaging from public health authorities; cease and desist
warnings directed toward those making extravagant or inappropriate claims; and the taking of
assertive and well publicised legal action against individuals and entities that make false
representations during a pandemic in order to protect consumers rendered vulnerable by their
emotional responses to the phenomenology of the pandemic.
