Table of Links Abstract and Introduction Methods Web search and content analysis Results Discussion Conclusion and References Table 1. Example of classification of webpages Table 2. Percentage of vaccine-negative webpages in different SERPs Conclusion Our analysis shows that while it may well be technically possible to design a search engine that manages to balance privacy-preservation with the promotion of high IQ material, this is currently not the case. The current relationship between privacy-preserving design features of search engines and the IQ of the results they return is inverse (although not proportionally). In instances where this can have a negative impact on public health, as in the example we have provided of the promotion of anti-vaccine misinformation, not intervening to alter the design of the algorithm even if this means sacrificing some degree of user privacy - can lead to severe harm for a large population of user and is, therefore, unethical. Designing a search engine that is privacy savvy and avoids issues with filter bubbles that can result from user-tracking may be a good thing, like designing a car with an engine that does not pollute and is inexpensive to run, and designers should seek to balance the different aspects of search engine design highlighted in Figure 3. However, if the brakes in an environmentally-designed car do not work, the car is unsafe and this negates the positive ethical decisions made by the designers. In a car this is a highly unlikely design outcome, as a car has to undergo several rounds of testing by regulatory agencies before being allowed on the market. This is not yet the case for search engines, which are only regulated from the perspective of data protection – which is primarily interpreted as data security rather than data privacy. Our study suggests that this is necessary but insufficient, and instead mechanisms should be developed to test search engines from the perspective of IQ, (particularly for YMYL webpages) before they can be deemed trustworthy providers of public health information.

Vaccinations and Fake News: Curation, Observatory, Literacies
acceptée à Vaccines 2025, un congrès prédateur à Amsterdam
une autre à Oulu à l'AIS, mais je n'ai pas été prévenu de l'acceptation avant la date butoir de registration, dommage
Polycrisis and global health Vaccine hesitancy should be added to landscape
des sujets à approfondir
- Vaccins et argent Making money with vaccines, against vaccines
le sujet le plus chaud, de 3,36 euros par mois à 300 millions de dollars?
- Publications vraies et fausses particulièrement difficile
- Obligations, exemptions, incitations, peut-être plus simple?
Gilbert C FAURE's insight:
The topic addresses Fake news as a global problem, extracting material focusing on vaccinations, vaccination hesitancy and anti-vax attitudes. The subject is evolving constantly with health consequences all over the world.
This topic became a research action project at CREM (Centre de Recherche sur les médiations)
Ir covers not only Fake News still thriving on the internet,
but also efforts of many (supranational bodies, scientific societies, researchers...) to improve health literacies of laypeople, and medical students on this sensitive topic...
Fake News related to Covid and Vaccinations slightly decreased compared to other topics such as ukrainian war, gaza war, and politics in USA even sports related informations... but the involvement of politicians in the topic very much increased !
Unfortunately, as Jonathan Swift so eloquently said: Reasoning will never make a man correct an ill opinion, which by reasoning he never acquired.

What caused the global populist wave? Blame the screens.
Gilbert C FAURE's insight:
Nothing illustrates the central role of the internet more than the spread of the anti-vax movement, and the installation of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services. Kennedy’s various assertions about the dangers of vaccinations are not only untrue; they are actively dangerous, because they convince parents not to give their children life-saving vaccines. It is hard to connect opposition to vaccines to any kind of coherent conservative ideology—indeed, in earlier periods conservatives would have welcomed the innovation and benefits that vaccines conferred. It is the internet that facilitated what grew into a vast network of vaccine skeptics. No number of empirical scientific studies could overcome the desire of many people who wanted to believe that there were evil forces in American society pushing things that were harmful to them, and they saw plentiful confirmation of their views on the internet.
DiResta gives an example of how the internet contributed to this spread directly. There should be no reason why yoga moms should be drawn to QAnon and conspiratorial thinking. There was, however, one prominent yoga guru who urged his followers to look to QAnon for the truth. An algorithm on an internet platform picked up this connection, and in effect decided that if this yoga influencer was into QAnon, other yoga aficionados should also be into conspiracy theories as well, and started recommending conspiratorial content to them. That is what algorithms do: they don’t understand meaning or context, but simply seek to maximize attention by directing people to popular content.
Could NAC be the key to neutralizing spike protein damage ? The answer, based on clinical data is no. Wondering why ? There is no data whatsoever to demonstrate it unless you are a hamster. But as McCullough Foundation sells it, Peter McCulllough is pushing a narrative of pre-clinical data in absence of any clinical one…The reason is simple, he sells it…
Bonjour Pierre Maudet, apparemment le Canton de Genève a un partenariat avec le Geneva Press Club - Club suisse de la presse.
Pouvez-vous nous dire si le canton finance ce club, et si vous approuvez la venue de Didier Raoult, un désinformateur notoire pratiquement sur tous les sujets de médecine et santé, blâmé par l'Ordre des Médecins en France, qui a réalisé le plus grand essai sauvage sur des patients contre toutes les règles éthiques, qui harcèle des chercheurs renommés comme Lonni Besançon et Elisabeth Bik et a encore lancé la fake new le 6 octobre dernier que les vaccins covid "augmentent les cancers chez les vaccinés" ? Fake new démentie par l'oncologue Dr Jérôme Barrière, MD. ✊🇺🇦 ici : https://lnkd.in/dBsWYEMf
Ne pensez-vous pas que cela donne une image catastrophique au Canton de Genève et à la profession de journaliste, métier qui est censé informer la population, donc l'inverse de ce que fait ce professeur depuis au moins 5 ans ?
Qu'en pensez-vous Mesdames et Messieurs les Conseillers d'Etats : Thierry Apothéloz ? Anne Hiltpold ? Antonio Hodgers ? Nathalie Fontanet ? Carole-Anne Kast ? Delphine Bachmann ?
Mme Geraldine Savary, en tant que présidente du Club, vous avez déclaré dans le communiqué du club vouloir "Contribuer à la vitalité du paysage médiatique suisse et à la valorisation du travail des professionnels de l’information" et "Restaurer le lien de confiance entre les médias et le public par le partage d’expériences et l’éducation aux médias" (https://lnkd.in/dCyEkBQG). Or, c'est totalement l'inverse de ce qui se passe avec la venue de cette personne.
Je vais citer ma consoeur Dre Sarah Campiche :
"Le rôle des médias est d’éclairer, pas d’entretenir la confusion entre opinion, controverse scientifique et désinformation.
Quand une figure publique, suspendue par son ordre professionnel et mise en cause pour manquements graves à la rigueur scientifique et à la déontologie, trouve encore une tribune, la question n’est plus celle de la liberté d’expression ni de la pluralité des idées, mais bien celle de la responsabilité journalistique."
Bref, je crois qu'il va falloir sérieusement faire le tri dans la presse suisse. | 12 comments on LinkedIn
📄 A new qualitative study explores how the COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed both opportunities and challenges for integrating health campaigns across immunizations, neglected tropical diseases, insecticide-treated bed nets, and vitamin A supplementation.
💡 Researchers interviewed 26 stakeholders across Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Guyana, Indonesia, and Nigeria, finding that integration efforts varied from loose collaboration and partial sharing of resources to full co-delivery of interventions. While the pandemic’s disruptions stalled many campaigns, they also created urgency to rethink vertical program silos and to seize efficiencies through synergy in planning, logistics, and community engagement.

Another post full of misinformation from McCullough Foundation. Should every baby receive appropriate vaccination at birth ? Data shows that HepB is within elimination, that RSV hospitalizations and deaths are markedly reduced. Vaccination is not a religion: it is simply good medicine. Vaccine denial is a cult and we are seeing here one of their guru…
While vaccinations have saved millions of lives, in extremely rare cases they can cause injury. Americans who believe they have suffered an injury can go to vaccine court.
Health workers (HWs) are considered the most influential promoters of immunization. This notion, however, was challenged during COVID-19 when health workers in several countries asked for more information before supporting mass vaccination. In Pakistan, many health workers registered in the system but were delaying their vaccination during the early days. We conducted this study to assess the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine along with the reasons for delays or refusals among health workers in Pakistan.
Methods
From a pool of 20,000 health workers registered to receive the vaccine, we called 500 randomly selected health workers (doctors, nurses, community health workers, pharmacists) via phone. Overwhelmed by their work during the pandemic, only 234 could complete the survey. The survey was done in the early weeks of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout (February-March 2021) to inform the policy.
Results
About 3/4th of participants although willing, but were yet to vaccinate because 69 (39%) were busy in clinical duties, 28 (16%) were wary of its use in pregnancy or lactation, 23 (14%) had not received the text message with logistic details, 14 (8%) had a long distance from their vaccination center, 12 (7%) were currently having COVID-19 infection, while remaining 15-20% had a co-morbidity, were currently suspecting COVID-19 infection, or had just recovered from it. Chi-square tests did not reveal any significant association between gender and job designation with willingness.
Conclusion
Health workers have a high acceptance of new vaccines, yet policymakers must not expect that health workers will always be uniformly supportive of new vaccines. Health system strategies must include an ongoing process of documenting the information needs, questions, and apprehensions of health workers and addressing them in real time.
I'll be honest - I haven't been this engaged by a webinar in a long time. The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, U. of London held a webinar on misinformation and how we tackle this. Why we're vulnerable to it. Where the resistance comes from.
It was delightfully nuanced and insightful.
There was a lightbulb moment with almost each speaker but if I had to condense my top highlights/thoughts-
➡️ We need to get off our high horses. The researchers presenting today shared their own misinformation missteps - one believed fake Mars rover audio, another fell for supplement hype from friends. These are people who literally study this stuff. The moment we think we're immune is the moment we become vulnerable.
➡️ People aren't stupid - they're human. When someone doesn't vaccinate their child, it's often not because they don't trust science. Maybe they can't afford the bus fare to the clinic. Maybe their GP was too rushed to address their concerns. Maybe they haven't seen a health visitor in years because of funding cuts. We keep assuming ignorance when it's often about access and relationships.
➡️ Stop lecturing, start listening. The most effective interventions don't involve experts talking down to communities. They work with trusted local voices - the respected neighbor, the community leader people actually turn to. During COVID, vaccination rates in some communities only improved when their own doctors and nurses started the conversations, not when government officials gave press conferences.
➡️ The messenger matters more than the message. Trust research shows nurses top the list, politicians near the bottom. Yet we keep expecting people to believe official sources when they've lost faith in institutions. Sometimes the "wrong" messenger with the right relationships does more good than the "right" messenger with perfect credentials.
And then the punchy take home thought - fighting misinformation is less about having better facts and more about having better relationships.

News, Newport Beach, CA: PIC Distributes Landmark Vaccine Book to Trump, Vance and Congress, Shows Childhood Vaccines Not Proven Safer Than Diseases They Target
The nonprofit organization calls on federal leaders to withhold funds from states restricting vaccine exemptions
As part of its national Education Initiative on Vaccine Safety, Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC) has delivered its landmark book, “Vaccines and the Diseases They Target: An Analysis of Vaccine Safety and Epidemiology” (the Silver Booklet), to every member of Congress, as well as President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. The book equips lawmakers with scientific and statistical data showing that, for normal-risk U.S. children, vaccines have not been proven safer than the diseases they intend to prevent.
The education campaign, which aims to elevate children’s health, underscores PIC’s mission to safeguard informed consent in vaccination and end mandatory vaccination laws. In a letter that accompanied the book, PIC states:
“From an ethical standpoint, any medical mandate must, at the very least, be shown to deliver more benefit than harm. As you work to improve children’s health in the face of rising chronic illness, we respectfully urge you to review the evidence we present, which indicates that current vaccine mandates are not scientifically substantiated and may, in fact, pose greater risks than the diseases they target. In the meantime, we ask that federal funding be withheld from states that do not safeguard religious or philosophical exemptions to vaccine mandates for school attendance.”
In August, PIC sent an urgent letter to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., requesting an immediate review of childhood vaccine policies and a reconsideration based on risk-benefit analysis. “We believe federal leaders will be empowered by the information in this book, which includes……Read more here: silverbooklet.org
Je débunke l'article du Berliner Zeitung qui propage de la désinformation via son journaliste qui adhère aux narratifs coronasceptiques/antivax (confirmé par ce qu'il partage sur son compte Twitter et ses autres articles) ici : ➡️https://lnkd.in/dTYuFDXr
N'y a-t-il donc pas de code de déontologie pour les journalistes en Allemagne ?
Cet article se partage dans les sphères conspirationnistes dont FranceSoir (qui ne vérifie rien évidemment).
Le Berliner Zeitung est apparemment le journal le plus lu à Berlin, ce debunk (et le partage gratuit de cet article payant) est donc d'utilité publique.

Vaccinations have saved the lives of an estimated 17 million people between 2021 and 2024 – but global immunisation programmes face several challenges,
The Nocturnists are creating a podcast series that explores how trust in medicine is built, broken, tested, and redefined—by patients, clinicians, communities, and the institutions that shape our care. They’re seeking stories that illuminate these realities, from moments when trust was built or broken to times skepticism helped or harmed. Learn more and submit your story by October 31st. The Physicians Foundation
Exactly 15 years ago, while on paternity leave, I was asked if I’d “write a few articles and interviews about vaccines” for a website that didn’t yet exist – called Vaccines Today. I remember the timeline so well because the project is the same age as my (fully vaccinated) teenager.
As a health journalist with a background in #sciencecommunication, writing about #vaccines was ideal, so I accepted the offer. And, as the project took off and I was appointed Editor, it was a chance to develop deeper expertise in a topic I’d covered only occasionally.
A brief history Vaccines Today was launched after the H1N1 flu pandemic. Social media played a key role in shaping attitudes and actions to vaccines at that time, but most health authorities, healthcare professionals, civil society organisations and companies were slow to engage on the topic online. Anti-vaccine voices filled the vacuum.
It has taken time to establish #trust and grow a following, to build strong networks and a solid search engine ranking, but the project is now a firm fixture of the ‘immunity community’. It is a member of the WHO’s Vaccine Safety Net and is active in several coalitions.
Last week, on behalf of Vaccines Today, I collected the Balmis Institute of Vaccines Distinction in Almería, Spain. (Thank you Francisco Gimenez Sanchez!) The award recognises the contribution of the project over 15 years which have seen rapid developments in how we communicate – especially given the rise of #misinformation.
Communication infrastructure = resilient healthcare systems The longevity of Vaccines Today is one of its key strengths. It has changed greatly over the years, but has become a consistent and ever-present voice in online vaccine conversations. In my lecture at Balmis, I made the case for viewing these kinds of information hubs as health system infrastructure – features of a #resilient health system that should be built and maintained between crises, rather than trying to respond when the next emergency strikes.
I continue to be grateful to the Vaccines Today editorial board who fact-check everything I write to ensure its quality, and to all of the partners and supporters who continue to engage with us through interviews and guest posts. (Watch out this month for features on the Ukrainian immunisation system; research on how health professionals can engage with patients on tricky vaccination-related topics; and an EU innovation project on nasal vaccines…)
Vaccines Today would not have been created and sustained without consistent support from Vaccines Europe, its secretariat and members. I’m very glad that I answered the call 15 years ago!
Vaccines Today (like our first-born) is navigating its adolescence at a time of general upheaval and misinformation. But with vaccination rates slipping and preventable diseases creeping back in Europe, I’ve never been more convinced of the need for a platform like this.
If Vaccines Today didn’t exist, we’d have to invent it. | 13 comments on LinkedIn
