I think most people would understand of the difference between cybercriminals and fraudsters, and those giving out opposing views to the 'official' views.
Even so, some are taken in by 'fraudsters' tricking people into a bad 'cure' for a financial gain.

This is a question of people who are actually actively working to spread disinformation, whether it's through troll bot farms, whether [it's] state operators or whether it's really conspiracy theorist cranks who seem to get their kicks out of creating havoc."
Opposition Leader Andrew Scheer criticized the idea of using legislation to curb misinformation.

"COVID-19 has presented cybercriminals and fraudsters with an effective lure to encourage victims to visit fake web sites, open email attachments and click on text message links. These emails typically impersonate health organizations, and can even pretend to be from the government of Canada."

The Owners of the UN member states will ensure that all Commissars of the CoVid safety and security states legislate and enforce the dicta of the UN Agendas through whatever is the political apparatus of the asset/vassal state or emergency powers.
