"If you think memes are simply online images of cute cats and celebrities with
funny captions, then you might be surprised to learn that they can have a more
sinister function.
Our research shows that memes form part of a highly sophisticated strategy to
spread and monetise health disinformation.
Memes may appear trivial, but they should be taken seriously. Dismissing them
as harmless jokes is to grossly underestimate their influence – and bolsters
their power to spread potentially harmful health messages."
