Abstract: Considering the current health crisis related to Covid-19, this article reflects on its effects at the level of information use, mainly due to the existence of fake news as well as the problems of scientific communication which it has aggravated. Indeed, like the infodemic mentioned by the WHO itself, herein we consider a scientific infodemic. This leads to a debate regarding whether this has also produced an informational, trust, and security crisis. Greater scientific literacy is proposed given the increased presence of scientific content in the social debate and opinion.
Keywords: fake news
