👉 Assure-infection refers to the psychological and behavioral response of individuals who believe they are immune to a particular infection, despite lacking actual immunity. This misconception can lead to risky behaviors, such as neglecting preventive measures like vaccinations or hygiene practices, increasing their vulnerability to infections. For example, someone who thinks they've recovered from a virus might ignore handwashing or avoid social distancing, thereby facilitating the spread of the infection to others. Assure-infection is a significant public health concern because it undermines efforts to control and prevent disease outbreaks.
