Présentation
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.

le 1 avril 2025, retour de shitstorm?
Bonjour Pr Faure, avez vous informé vos patients de la balance bénéfice -risque actuelle des produits à ARNmodifié avant de les injecter ? L'information claire loyale et appropriée et un impératif déontologique et légal. Il faut travailler Pr Faure. Pas diffamer. Travailler.…
A recent study explores the impact of needle-free delivery of fractional dose inactivated polio vaccine on Nigeria’s routine immunization program. The research assesses the feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and impact of using a WHO-prequalified, intradermal needle-free device, Tropis®, for vaccine administration.
The study found that needle-free delivery showed improved coverage and the potential for cost savings, particularly in hard-to-reach areas. The devices were also well-received by healthcare workers and caregivers, citing reduced pain and increased efficiency.

History of Vaccines is an educational resource by the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, one of the oldest professional medical organizations in the US.
The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), together with the increased availability of social media and news for epidemiological surveillance, is marking a pivotal moment in epidemiology and public health research.
I was giving a vaccine advocacy talk in St. Paul when my phone started blowing up with this image. I was covering how to call Congress (202) 224-3121, to ask for your rep and ask for the resignation of RFKJ. Why? The list of lies was already so long about “MMR has killed people, measles is no big deal, no vaccine has been safety tested, kids and pregnant people don’t need COVID vaccine” and on and on. And then the news broke about RFKJ’s lies about the ACIP and that the ACIP voting members had been removed.
I was a voting member of ACIP from 2004-2008—first nurse in the US to sit in that seat with 14 esteemed colleagues. I represented NAPNAP as a liaison member (input but no vote) for another 16 years. I was on 11 different working groups (the in-between meetings where the interdisciplinary expert work happens) in my 20 years as a volunteer vaccinologist. No one gets paid on ACIP-not from pharma, not from CDC, it’s a volunteer honor to share expertise on one of the most respected public health committees in the world. I can say from extended, first-hand experience that RFKJ is lying about ACIP.
The meetings are a model of transparency. The media was IN the room quoting you the minute you speak, anyone is allowed to attend or connect on line (60,000 people usually did) and public comment was part of the agenda. A full transcript and all slides from the meeting were posted on the website.
I have been closely following RFKJ’s 20 year deceit journey for profit and know he has just fulfilled his own dream based on conspiracy. He caused the distrust of public health and vaccines and now is using it again for his own gain. This is a dystopian, dangerous place for our country to be in.
RFKJ is who needs to be removed. Please call. | 39 comments on LinkedIn
“Trust in science” is often framed as a problem of fact-checking or reliability of evidence. But that framing misses the point.
People don’t build trust in science through exposure to more data. They build it through relationships, relevance, and lived experience. Yet in discourse over trust in science, the conversation often veers into defending the top of the evidence pyramid, as if stronger methods alone can repair trust.
This overreliance on method hierarchies oversimplifies misinformation, marginalizes alternative ways of knowing, and misunderstands how trust is built. We need epistemological pluralism, not just better trials.
As an editor, I’ve seen how our narrow definitions of “rigor” actually fuel alienation and misunderstanding.
If we want to defend science, we need to expand what we mean by it. And that begins with recognizing that truth is not a single peak. It's a terrain and we need to get better at navigating it.
🔥“Dr. Peter McCullough is the most published physician in his field in human history… and he was right all along.” — Joe Rogan with Dr. Mary Talley Bowden
Les discours antivaccins ont plus d'impact sur les populations les moins éduquées et les plus défavorisées, creusant ainsi les inégalités face à la maladie. La lutte contre la désinformation passe par l'éducation, l'accès à des informations validées et des sanctions contre ceux qui jouent avec la santé des plus fragiles.
A new study analyzed leukemia patients who developed cancer shortly after C-19 shots—their bone marrow showed distinct cancer-associated metabolic alterations.
💉 All 7 inoculated patients developed leukemia within 63 days
📈 Unique metabolic shifts not seen in classic leukemia: ↑ Tetrahydrofolic acid ↑ Phosphorylcholine ↑ N-Formyl-L-glutamic acid / N-Acetyl-L-aspartic acid ↑ Delta 8.14-Sterol

As a transfusion medicine physician, Jeremy W. Jacobs has increasingly faced requests for “unvaccinated donor blood.” So he and colleagues looked closer at what the data say.
Vous savez quoi ? Je suis devenu une des muses de mon Jean-Marcounet chéri... Déjà qu'il voulait me présenter sa soeur, si ça continue il va nous sortir un remake du tube d' "Il était une fois".
Mais non mon Jean-Marcounet joli, il ne peut rien se passer entre nous, et puis, en devenant le Padawan de Dark Didou, tu es passé du côté obscur de la force et moi, j'aime pas le côté obscur ! Et puis il y aurait de quoi être jaloux parce que je suis pas ta seule muse... il te faut aussi Thomas C. Durand, Alexander Samuel, Steve Claude, Fernando Leal-Calderon (qui a hélas quitté ce réseau autrefois professionnel) ou Cadiou Hervé et carrément toute la rédaction de Marianne !
Alors avec autant de sources d'inspiration, l'adepte qui voulait se faire aussi mytho que le gourou est forcément devenu prolixe ! Certaines mauvaises langues du côté de l'Aix-Marseille Université l'auraient même entendu s'écrier "la muse m'habite !". Et comme il a jamais été bon en poésie à l'école, Jean-Marc nous réserve pour les vacances non pas un, mais deux bouquins ! Idéal pour caler les roues du camping-car !
Dans ses deux torchons écrit à 4 pieds avec Marcel Gay, ancien journaliste à L'Est Républicain reconverti dans le blog complotiste Infodujour d'extrême-droite poutinolâtre, Jean-Marc déclame son seum nous démontrant une fois de plus à quel point il est doué pour faire son "ouin ouin". La question que tout le monde se pose (alors le monde des complotistes va de Nicole Delépine à Christian Perronne en passant par Louis Fouché et Xavier Azalbert, rassurez-vous) est la suivante : "Pourquoi des scientifiques de renom ont-ils été exclus du débat ?" Ben ouais pourquoi ? Mon Jean-Marcounet était pas un scientifique de renom, il était en mal d'existence médiatique voulant profiter des quelques miettes laissées par son divin gourou, mais ça lui a pas suffi ! C'est là qu'il s'est dit qu'il pouvait se lancer dans le bloc de papier toilette imprimé et la tisane qui rafraîchit l'haleine mais ne fait toujours pas revenir l'être aimé !
Et les titres de ses deux torchons tombent un peu à plat, il fait pas dans le Thiéfaine le Jean-Marc ! Hubert-Félix, lui, il avait su faire un grand coup avec "la philosophie du chaos" et "le chaos de la philosophie". Jean-Marc, lui nous balance tout de go que d'abord il va faire son Caliméro dans "Covid 19 : la censure scientifique" avant de nous ressortir un énième remake Titanic de avec "le naufrage de la science".
Mais quand même, il en fait des choses pour vider les poches des têtes pleines d'eau, pardon pour sauver l'humanité mon Jean-Marcounet. Il nous sort 6 blocs de papier toilette à l'année, il nous fait des jolies vidéos Youtube au zinc du Balto, il nous concocte sa tisane miracle qui fait disparaître l'oxyde de graphène des vaccins à ARNm, et, accessoirement, il fait de la recherche au CNRS que c'est même pour ça qu'il est payé.
Dites Antoine Petit, ça commence à se voir que votre employé se paie votre fiole aux frais du contribuable.
Lately, I’ve been hearing this question more often: “What’s the issue with vaccines?” And although it may sound contradictory, the answer is this: the problem is that they’ve worked so well… we’ve forgotten how important they are.
Vaccines have been one of the most powerful tools in modern medicine. Thanks to them, we no longer see children paralyzed by polio, or hospital wards filled with patients suffering from measles, meningitis, or whooping cough. But that doesn’t mean those diseases have disappeared. They’re still out there, waiting for us to let our guard down.
According to the World Health Organization, vaccines save between 3.5 and 5 million lives each year. Since the Expanded Programme on Immunization began in 1974, more than 154 million lives have been saved—most of them children under the age of five.
In the United States alone, childhood vaccines administered between 1994 and 2023 prevented over 500 million cases of disease, 32 million hospitalizations, and more than 1 million deaths. They also generated savings billions of dollars in social and healthcare costs.
But because we no longer witness these tragedies, we’ve become complacent. And with that false sense of security, doubts, rumors, and baseless theories begin to spread. Fear spreads quickly when it’s shared irresponsibly.
It’s completely valid to have questions. As parents, caregivers, and members of a community, we all want to protect the people we love. But it’s essential to seek answers from trustworthy sources: doctors, pediatricians, public health institutions—not from WhatsApp chains or unsupported posts.
Getting vaccinated is not just a personal decision. It’s a collective responsibility. It protects those who can’t yet be vaccinated: babies, people with chronic illnesses, or those with weakened immune systems.
The most ironic—and worrying—thing is that the success of vaccines has made us forget what they’ve helped us avoid. Let’s not allow that forgetfulness to lead us into repeating the mistakes of the past.
Let’s vaccinate ourselves against fear with a dose of truth.
Aluminum is the third most abundant element in Earth's crust and naturally occurs everywhere—in our food, water, and even breast milk. We consume 7-9 milligrams daily through normal diet, far more than what's found in vaccines.
Aluminum is used as an adjuvant in vaccines because it acts like a microphone for the immune system, amplifying the vaccine's signal so your body mounts a stronger, longer-lasting defense against disease. Without adjuvants, many vaccines simply wouldn't work effectively. Some people have questions and concerns about aluminum in vaccines, particularly the claim that injected aluminum is fundamentally different and more dangerous than aluminum we consume through food and drink. They worry it bypasses natural defenses and accumulates dangerously in the body.
Here's why the science doesn't support these concerns: Once aluminum enters your bloodstream—whether from vaccines, food, or antacids—your body processes it identically. Vaccine aluminum is formulated as insoluble salts that dissolve slowly at the injection site, releasing only small amounts into circulation over time. Your kidneys efficiently eliminate about half within 24 hours, with the remainder cleared in subsequent days. Extensive research using sophisticated tracking methods confirms that aluminum from vaccines doesn't accumulate to harmful levels and is safely eliminated through normal bodily processes.
In our latest newsletter, we discuss the nearly 100 years of safety data on aluminum adjuvants, examine the specific research addressing injection versus ingestion concerns, and put vaccine aluminum exposure in perspective, showing that a baby receives far more aluminum from feeding than from the entire childhood vaccine schedule.
Large language models (LLMs) are used to seek health information. Guidelines for evidence-based health communication require the presentation of the best available evidence to support informed decision-making.
"Fake News" about COVID: What Information Literacy Needs to Know about Health Communication" - Chana Kraus-Friedberg (Michigan State University)
Librarians and educators are accustomed to treating information and media literacy as broadly subject agnostic. It is therefore not surprising that we have positioned ourselves on the front lines against the spread of mis/disinformation about COVID-19. As with other kinds of sources, we show students how to identify markers of unreliability and reliability, and how to read laterally in order to fact check. Once students can do this, we hope they will not believe or spread health mis/disinformation about COVID. Research in science and health communication, however, indicates that evaluating health journalism comes with its own particular issues. In this presentation, I will discuss three of these issues: the media framing of how science in general works, how science/health journalists get information about research, and the particular tells of unreliable health journalism. In each case, I will suggest some approaches/tools that will help address these issues in information literacy instruction around COVID.
Secretary Kennedy, trying to defend his dismissal of an advisory committee using a pay-walled op-ed (without notifying the members in advance), doubled down on attacking the committee members and repeating a list of untrue anti-vaccine tropes on X, a private platform that not everyone has access to.
He said he will be announcing a list of new members to the committee on that platform, too. Apparently, without the usual process of vetting.
Radical transparency, indeed.
Reminder: Kennedy promised that - A. He will maintain the committee (to Senator Cassidy). B. That he will not take away anyone's vaccines.
It seems like one can`t go anywhere on the Internet without seeing these terms in one form or another; regardless of the context or topic.
Fake news, propaganda, false information call it what you will - it's everywhere on the Internet.
According to the website of the World Health Organization, “four studies reviewed in a paper looked at the proportion of health misinformation on social media, and found that it reached up to 51% in posts associated with vaccines, up to 28.8% in posts associated with COVID-19, and up to 60% in posts related to pandemics.
Among YouTube videos about emerging infectious diseases, 20–30% were found to contain inaccurate or misleading information.”
