Fake News and Vaccinations Bobcatsss 2020

Point of view of an Immunologist/curator in 2020

Après Bobcatsss 2020, ECIL 2021, ICDF 2022, 

HESIVAXs with the motto UTA "Understand to Acr"

 

Notre proposition « Désinformation Vaccinale: Curation, Observatoire, Littératies » a été retenue pour le séminaire annuel de l’Académie des Controverses et de la Communication Sensible, intitulé « La désinformation : nouvelles formes, nouveaux défis », qui s'est tenu à Paris le mardi 26 novembre 2024.

Voir ci-après posts du 27 novembre, avec lien vers la présentation sur Slideshare.

 

Présentation le 20 mars 2025 à InfoxsurSeine deux jours pour décrypter la désinformation et échanger autour des solutions.
Quels outils concrets face aux manipulations de l’information et à l’essor de l’IA générative ?

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.

🌍💉 La vaccination à l’échelle One Health : un enjeu majeur du XXIᵉ siècle
La santé humaine, animale et environnementale sont intimement liées. Pourtant, l’approche One Health, de plus en plus reconnue pour faire face aux maladies émergentes, reste encore trop peu appliquée à la vaccination.
➡️ Vacciner les animaux, c’est protéger aussi les humains :
Éradiquer la peste bovine a renforcé la sécurité alimentaire mondiale.
La vaccination des renards a permis d’éliminer la rage en Europe.
La lutte contre la grippe aviaire illustre les défis et le potentiel des stratégies coordonnées.
Au-delà des zoonoses, la vaccination contribue aussi à :
✔️ Réduire l’antibiorésistance
✔️ Préserver les écosystèmes
✔️ Inspirer l’innovation en santé humaine
🔑 Pour réussir : coopération entre secteurs, innovation vaccinale et prise en compte des équilibres écologiques.
👉 La vaccination One Health n’est pas un idéal, c’est une nécessité pour répondre aux défis sanitaires complexes de notre siècle.

A few weeks ago, I received an unexpected but deeply meaningful email from Dr. Duncan Maru, Assistant Commissioner at the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. He’d read my recent New York Times essay and reached out to say that storytelling and historical narrative are things public health often struggles to do well — and that his team would love to learn more about my work and “how I do it.” (Pinching myself...)

Tomorrow, I’ll be joining their all-hands meeting with about 100 colleagues from across NYC’s public health ecosystem — social workers, analysts, clinicians, community health workers, and administrators.

It’s a full-circle moment for me. I interned at the NYC DOHMH (HRTP Interns stand up!) while earning my DrPH at The City University of New York Graduate Center and later consulted there. Returning now to talk about the role of storytelling in public health feels both humbling and hopeful. | 11 comments on LinkedIn

Association of 2024–2025 Covid-19 Vaccine with Covid-19 Outcomes in U.S. Veterans

Gilbert C FAURE's insight:

observational study that used the electronic health records of the Department of Veterans Affairs to evaluate the effectiveness of the 2024–2025 Covid-19 vaccine among veterans who received the Covid-19 and influenza vaccines on the same day (164,132 participants) and in an active-comparator group of veterans who received the influenza vaccine only (131,839 participants), between September 3 and December 31, 2024.

 

In this national cohort of U.S. veterans, the receipt of the 2024–2025 Covid-19 vaccine was associated with decreased risks of severe clinical outcomes. (Funded by the Department of Veterans Affairs.)

It’s the Internet, Stupid - by Francis Fukuyama

It’s the Internet, Stupid - by Francis Fukuyama | Hésitations Vaccinales: Observatoire HESIVAXs | Scoop.it
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.

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.

Navigating information space: the role of health-care providers in the health-information journey of patients | Maike Winters | Hésitations Vaccinales: Observatoire HESIVAXs | Scoop.it
𝐍𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞

Thrilled to share this Viewpoint article in The Lancet Primary Care, in which we explore the health information journey of patients and reflect on the role of healthcare providers in information space.

Googling symptoms, Doing Your Own Research or chatting with an AI chatbot - health information goes well beyond consultation rooms. In this article, we take a broader look at the influences on both patients and HCPs in relation to information space (we really go into space!) and show how health information from providers often gets outshone by others in information space. It’s hard, if not impossible, as a provider to affect the structures of info space, where eyeballs are valued over accuracy. But there are still things that can be done. Like building trust through continuity of care and integrating questions about a patient’s information space to get a better understanding of ideas, concerns and expectations.

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
