Summary/Abstract: In the study presented, I continued to express views, opinions, analyses through which scientists, public institutions involved in the fight against COVID-19 make huge efforts to stop this scourge, to protect people in wave 4 and in the perspective of wave 5 of the pandemic. In my experience as a journalist at Digi 24 TV, I was confronted with the phenomenon of misinformation and anti-vaccination tendencies, conspiracy theories that flooded communication networks and platforms, and even the media. All of them constitute deontological challenges for any journalist.
