摘要

摘要新冠肺炎于2020年初抵达美国，被称为“自1918年流感以来最致命的大流行”。缓解措施包括戴口罩和接种疫苗，但许多人抵制并示威反对。未接种疫苗的人继续携带病毒；他们现在构成了医院中最大的新冠肺炎患者群体，使病毒能够继续传播。不同的保守派和极右翼消息来源推动阴谋论和其他虚假信息，助长了对缓解措施的抵制，在某些情况下声称疫情是一场骗局。然而，新冠肺炎隐喻本身就提出了反驳的思路，以及可能改变其含义和后果的方法。

COVID: a pandemic of metaphor

ABSTRACT Arriving in the U.S. in early 2020, COVID-19 is called “the deadliest pandemic since the 1918 flu.” Mitigation measures include masks and vaccinations, but many resist and demonstrate against them. The unvaccinated continue to harbor the virus; they now form the largest group of COVID patients in hospitals, enabling the virus to continue to spread. Diverse conservative and far-right sources push conspiracy theories and other disinformation that fuel resistance to mitigation, claiming in some cases that the pandemic is a hoax. COVID metaphors themselves, however, suggest lines of counter-argument and ways to potentially shift their meanings and consequences.
