Abstract
Vaccine hesitancy fueled by ignorance, negativity, and false information on social media affects public health globally. Brazil's decline in vaccination, influenced by denialism and misinformation, increases the risk of polio reintroduction in Latin America. Combatting scientific Fake News is crucial to prevent irreversible consequences to public health.
