US Surgeon General Nominee Criticized for Lack of Scientific Expertise | Andrea C. Love, Ph.D. posted on the topic

The Surgeon General’s job is simple but serious:

To translate robust, well-supported, and credible scientific evidence into clear, population-level guidance that protects millions of people all at once–that’s public health.

Casey Means’ nomination is incredibly alarming. The issue here isn’t just that she’s unqualified.

It’s that the US government is willing to replace scientific expertise with influencer credibility when it comes to national health leadership.

Casey Means’ sole public health contribution has been to tell healthy people to obsess over blood glucose and reject scientific innovations that objectively improve quality of life.

We haven’t just lost the plot: our Federal government has failed us.

Casey Means is a Wellness Influencer, not a Public Health Leader.

Public health aims to minimize harm across all populations using infrastructure and systems that benefit the whole. Wellness businesses monetize perceived optimization gaps of an individual person by convincing you health is solely your responsibility.

Public health aims to reduce unnecessary medicalization. Wellness influencers do the opposite–they fabricate medical issues, convince you to medicalize essential bodily processes, and monetize it. The Surgeon General should be reducing health anxiety, not normalizing it, and certainly not profiting off of it.

Fake News and Vaccinations Bobcatsss 2020

Point of view of an Immunologist/curator in 2020

AprÚs Bobcatsss 2020, ECIL 2021, ICDF 2022, 

HESIVAXs with the motto UTA "Understand to Act"

 

Notre proposition « DĂ©sinformation Vaccinale: Curation, Observatoire, LittĂ©raties » a Ă©tĂ© retenue pour le sĂ©minaire annuel de l’AcadĂ©mie des Controverses et de la Communication Sensible, intitulĂ© « La dĂ©sinformation : nouvelles formes, nouveaux dĂ©fis », qui s'est tenu Ă  Paris le mardi 26 novembre 2024.

Voir ci-aprÚs 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 Ă  l’essor de l’IA gĂ©nĂ©rative ?

 

Avez vous acheté le numéro Juillet/septembre 2025 de la RECHERCHE sur LE FAUX?

 

des sujets Ă  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 particuliÚrement difficile 

- Obligations, exemptions, incitations, peut-ĂȘtre 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.

From Health Messaging to Sense-making: My notes on tools to discuss Critical Health Literacy for digital spaces | Tina D Purnat

From Health Messaging to Sense-making: My notes on tools to discuss Critical Health Literacy for digital spaces | Tina D Purnat | Hésitations Vaccinales: Observatoire HESIVAXs | Scoop.it
I’ve spent some time collecting examples and notes to discuss with young people how our health decisions and discussions are often more about making sense of health information than simply evaluating facts.

Our health decisions are rarely just about the data; they are deeply personal and subjective. We often make choices based on how information feels and who is sharing it, rather than just the medical facts. Because our life circumstances and the digital environments we inhabit are always shifting, we might look at the same health choice differently today than we did a year ago. To navigate this, we need to understand how our digital relationships and the emotional "vibe" of our online spaces quietly shape how we make sense of our well-being.

For example, a person might ignore a formal medical article about stress but then decide to try a specific supplement after hearing a cousin describe their own relief in a private WhatsApp voice note. The clinical facts about the supplement didn't change, but the feeling of trust and the intimacy of that digital connection is what actually moved the needle on their decision.

I have organized these cases into five thematic "digital ecologies" to help navigate these complex environments and I link to these in a separate article.

To deepen these discussions, I suggest practicing five critical inquiry skills for critical health literacy in digital contexts:
1/ contrast commercial vs. caring by looking for revenue models behind health advice
2/ use the empathy filter to understand why information feels right, rather than just what is wrong
3/ apply the relatability test to see how platform "vibes" and aesthetics affect our skepticism
4/ identify the incentive trap to see if an algorithm is rewarding accuracy or just shocking content
5/ recognize the authority shift and why "real people" on screens often feel more trustworthy than institutional experts

On a related note, there is currently a call for papers out in Health Promotion International (HPI) for anyone working on critical health literacy. You can find the details here: https://lnkd.in/egcz-2fA

These are just notes, not a formal toolkit, although they could certainly be turned into something more useful for an educator.

■QUELQUES RÉFLEXIONS■(13)
☆☆☆
â–ȘJe viens de lire sur Internet que le vaccin Ă  ARNm est un bon vaccin, permettant de sauver beaucoup de vies humaines pendant la pandĂ©mie covidique, et que les effets secondaires sont rares et bĂ©nins, rarement dĂ©lĂ©tĂšres.
Quel mensonge éhonté !
Je résume ici ce que représente le vaccin à ARNm dont j'ai fait état dans mes nombreuses Publications sur LinkedIn :
- Être vaccinĂ© avec le vaccin Ă  ARNm n'empĂȘche pas de CONTRACTER le virus et de le TRANSMETTRE Ă  d'autres personnes.
- Vacciner en pleine Ă©pidĂ©mie ne sert Ă  rien car il faut savoir qu'un vaccin est un TRAITEMENT PRÉVENTIF non curatif.
- Le vaccin à ARNm provoque des EFFETS SECONDAIRES DÉLÉTÈRES, parfois mortels.
- Ces effets secondaires sont psychosomatiques, c'est Ă  dire provoquent des problĂšmes PSYCHIQUES ( troubles du comportement...) et SOMATIQUES ( myocardites...).
- Le vaccin Ă  ARNm est responsable Ă  ce jour d'environ VINGT MILLIONS DE MORTS dans le monde, et ce n'est pas fini.
- Le vaccin à ARNm n'a aucune TOLÉRANCE et aucune EFFICACITÉ.
- Il a Ă©tĂ© commercialisĂ© et utilisĂ© avant mĂȘme que les ESSAIS CLINIQUES soient terminĂ©s, Ă  cause de l'"urgence absolue" Ă  vacciner, selon les dĂ©clarations des "autoritĂ©s sanitaires" assassines et cupides.
- Katherin Jansen, qui est une ancienne responsable du secteur Recherche et DĂ©veloppement ( R&D) du laboratoire Pfizer, a comparĂ© ce vaccin Ă  un avion qu'on a fait voler alors qu'il n'a pas encore fini d'ĂȘtre construit ( "we flew the aĂ©roplane while we were still building it").

Can Everything that Counts be Counted?

We've gotten very good at counting things in global health. Doses delivered. People reached. Percentage coverage. These numbers matter — but they're not the same as understanding.

Most M&E frameworks I encounter are fundamentally counting frameworks. They tell us whether something happened. Rarely do they tell us why.

This matters more than we tend to acknowledge. When a vaccination campaign succeeds, we celebrate the coverage numbers. But without understanding the mechanism — what shifted in people's motivation, their confidence, their sense that vaccination was easy and socially approved — we can't reliably replicate that success. We got lucky, or we got good, and we can't tell the difference.

The Fogg Behavior Model offers one useful lens here: behavior happens when motivation, ability, and a prompt align. If your M&E isn't measuring those intermediate steps, you're testing whether a key opened a lock — without learning anything about how the key works.

In my own work evaluating HPV vaccination campaigns in Nigeria and Bangladesh, the most important finding wasn't the vaccination rate. It was why the rate changed — through shifts in caregiver motivation and perceived ability, not through increases in factual knowledge. That distinction has direct implications for how you design the next campaign.

Global health has a replication problem. Part of the reason is that we invest in doing, and in counting what we've done — but not in understanding. Until we treat behavioral mechanisms as core M&E outputs, not optional research add-ons, we'll keep rebuilding the wheel.

What counts isn't always what can be counted. And what can be counted isn't always what counts.

The World Economic Forum and the United Nations both ranked false and misleading information as top-tier global risks. The combination of rapid dissemination of poor quality information through social and digital media, amplified by the power of generative AI and the erosion of trust in public health agencies are reshaping the global health landscape.

In a new opinion piece, Scott C. Ratzan MD, Carolina Batista MD and Lawrence Gostin, chairs of the Nature Medicine Commission on Quality of Health Information for All, argue that quality health information is a fundamental determinant of health.

They define quality health information as “scientifically sound, accessible, clear, understandable and essential for appropriate decision-making that improves health.”

Quality health information shapes health and well-being in profound ways: in clinical settings, health behaviors, scientific innovation and broader socio-economic, commercial and political contexts.  It is vital to understand the power of information and the urgency of developing effective tools to improve the health information environment.

Measles Plagues Return as Vaccination Rates Drop | ProPublica posted on the topic | Hésitations Vaccinales: Observatoire HESIVAXs | Scoop.it
Before vaccines, death and disability stalked children.

Then shots turned once-common infections into something doctors only read about in textbooks.

But when immunization rates drop, plagues from the past can come roaring back, as measles has in American communities where parents decided not to vaccinate their children.

Imagine what would happen if even the people who wanted shots couldn’t get them.

Stanford epidemiologists Mathew Kiang and Nathan Lo modeled that scenario. We used their findings to illustrate what a future without vaccines could look like.

13 % de mortalité en moins.

Et si ce n’était que le dĂ©but ?

On parle souvent du vaccin antipaludique comme d’une innovation.

Mais une innovation ne vaut que par son impact.

Quatre ans aprÚs son introduction dans les pays pilotes (Ghana, Kenya, Malawi), les données montrent :

✔ 13 % de rĂ©duction de la mortalitĂ©

✔ 22 % de rĂ©duction des hospitalisations pour paludisme grave
(Source : évaluation phase pilote du vaccin antipaludique)

🔆 13 %.
 
Ce chiffre peut sembler modeste.
 
Mais en santé publique, 13 % signifie :
 
– des milliers d’enfants qui rentrent à la maison
– des hospitalisations Ă©vitĂ©es
– des systĂšmes de santĂ© moins saturĂ©s

Comme on le dit souvent :
“Une petite brùche peut sauver un village entier.”

La vraie question n’est pas :
Le vaccin fonctionne-t-il ?
Les données répondent déjà.

La vraie question est :
 
Sommes-nous capables d’atteindre une couverture suffisante pour amplifier cet impact ?
 
Parce qu’un vaccin introduit ne sauve pas des vies.

Un vaccin complété, oui.

Et c’est lĂ  que commence le vrai dĂ©fi.

The Indian healthcare system rolling out free HPV vaccination for adolescent girls is a big step in the right direction.

As a gynecologist, this is something we’ve been hoping to see at scale for years.

Cervical cancer is one of the few cancers we can actually prevent and yet, so many women in India still get diagnosed late, often when options are limited. That’s the real problem this initiative is trying to solve.

The HPV vaccine, like Gardasil, works best when given early, before exposure to the virus. Which is why targeting adolescent girls through government programs makes so much sense. It shifts the focus from reaction to prevention.

For new mothers, this is especially important. A lot of parents today are far more aware and proactive about their child’s health. But when it comes to HPV, there’s still hesitation, mostly because it hasn’t been part of routine conversations for long.

This initiative changes that. It normalises prevention at the right age, through the right channels and the impact can be massive.

Fewer cases of cervical cancer. 
Fewer late diagnoses. 
Fewer families going through something that is largely preventable.

This is what strong public health looks like, not just treating disease, but reducing the chances of it happening in the first place.

If you’re a parent, this is worth understanding and discussing with your doctor. Because sometimes, the most powerful healthcare decisions are the ones taken early. | 21 comments on LinkedIn

"Demetre Daskalakis joined the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2020. Along the way, he helped lead a response to the mpox outbreak and, more recently, ran an agency division focused on containing infectious diseases like influenza and COVID-19.

From that vantage point, Daskalakis saw, firsthand, an unsettling shift in the way the CDC operated once Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took control of the Department of Health and Human Services and the web of agencies under its purview. Daskalakis says he had an open mind when Kennedy, a known vaccine skeptic, came aboard. He was prepared to aid Kennedy’s desire to better public health and show him the ins and outs of the CDC. But what he saw instead was a raft of policies he believes prioritize ideology over established science. "

Zero-dose children, those who have never received a single routine vaccine, are disproportionately found in the places our data systems struggle most: remote communities, conflict zones, urban slums, and nomadic populations.

We spent months reviewing how #geospatial tools are being used to map these children. We looked at 102 studies, 68 countries, and a rapidly growing field of #spatial science applied to immunisation, led by Ann Njogu.

👉The science is advancing fast: 70% of studies published in just the last four years
👉 Sophisticated methods exist to generate high-resolution estimates of vaccine coverage

But:
â–șEvidence is concentrated in a handful of countries, esp. Nigeria, Ethiopia and India
â–ș The most marginalised populations are consistently left out of models
â–ș We're still not speaking the same language; ZD definitions vary widely across studies
â–șOver-reliance on household surveys (DHS)
â–ș Routine data (DHIS2) that could power real-time monitoring sits largely untapped
â–ș Advanced geospatial modelling is dominated by a handful of well-resourced academic groups

The result? The countries that need geospatial evidence the most are the least equipped to produce or act on it.

✼ Reaching ZD children requires not just better tools but also investment in local capacity, open and reproducible methods, and stronger partnerships between academic groups and national programmes.

Because you can't reach children you can't find

No more paper: Fiji launches first-ever digital immunization records for every child | Sean Blaschke

No more paper: Fiji launches first-ever digital immunization records for every child | Sean Blaschke | Hésitations Vaccinales: Observatoire HESIVAXs | Scoop.it
🌏 Big news from the Pacific — and a reminder of why investing in digital foundations matters.

Fiji just launched its first-ever nationwide digital immunization record system — replacing paper-based records that were routinely lost, duplicated, or inaccessible when families moved between islands.

The system covers 220 immunization sites and supports approximately 500 healthcare workers, ensuring every child has a secure vaccination record accessible from anywhere in the country - including in areas with limited connectivity. No small feat in a maritime archipelago.

But this is not just a digital upgrade. It's digital infrastructure.

By replacing paper with a secure nationwide digital system, Fiji is building a more resilient and efficient healthcare system - one that can withstand disease outbreaks and climate-related emergencies alike.

This investment is being built as underlying Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) for Health. When you build foundational systems that are interoperable, scalable, and country-owned, the returns compound. The same infrastructure powering immunization records today can anchor a multi-country telehealth programme across the Pacific tomorrow — connecting patients in remote atolls to clinical expertise and cutting costs across the system.

This is what UNICEF's advocates for globally: stop funding isolated pilots. Invest in systems that make every intervention stronger, cheaper, and more resilient.

Congratulations to Fiji's Ministry of Health, #UNICEF Pacific, and the Government of Japan. đŸ‡«đŸ‡Ż

From Innovation to Immunity: Why Getting Vaccinated Still Matters | The Task Force for Global Health, Inc. | Hésitations Vaccinales: Observatoire HESIVAXs | Scoop.it
As vaccine-preventable diseases continue to rise in the United States, we are presented with an opportunity to increase transparency and build trust among those who are hesitant to get vaccinated. Research has shown that when presented with credible information and visible evidence, confidence in vaccines grows.

This is why strong systems and trusted partnerships are so important. The Partnership for International Vaccine Initiatives (PIVI), a program of The Task Force for Global Health, Inc., works alongside health leaders around the world to strengthen vaccination programs and ensure that life-saving innovations reach people safely and efficiently.

When we lead with evidence and come together, we create a healthier world for all. Read more of what PIVI's Dr. Joe Bresee has to say in this recently published op-ed: https://bit.ly/4sGx4hH

I recently participated in the "Sustaining the Gains in Childhood Vaccination" meeting with state and local immunization managers hosted by the International Vaccine Access Center at Johns Hopkins BSPH.

There, we discussed the many challenges local immunization managers are currently facing and proposed practical, actionable solutions.

While at the meeting, I also had the opportunity to highlight the work of Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP)'s Vaccine Integrity Project, whose staff are conducting independent evidence reviews of several key vaccines.

Thank you to the staff at IVAC for hosting this important discussion and giving me the opportunity to showcase the Project's work.

Kenya is projected to save about Ksh4 billion (USD 30milliom) in healthcare costs through continued rotavirus vaccination, according to findings reported by the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) and the One Health Trust.

The analysis shows that the rotavirus vaccine is not only protecting children from severe diarrhoeal disease but also significantly reducing hospital admissions and the overall financial burden on the health system.

Experts explain that by preventing thousands of cases that would otherwise require treatment, the country is easing pressure on hospitals while freeing up resources for other critical health needs.

The findings also suggest that sustained immunisation efforts could continue to deliver long-term economic and public health benefits, especially for young children who are most vulnerable to rotavirus infections.

Journée internationale du fact-checking : face aux infox, les faits comptent.


â„č Les manipulations de l’information se diffusent aujourd’hui Ă  grande vitesse. Elles fragilisent les sociĂ©tĂ©s, alimentent les tensions et s’inscrivent dans une vĂ©ritable guerre informationnelle, oĂč la bataille se joue aussi dans le champ des perceptions.


Face à cette réalité, la France agit.


À travers son opĂ©rateur CFI, agence française de dĂ©veloppement mĂ©dias par exemple, le ministĂšre de l’Europe et des Affaires Ă©trangĂšres soutient celles et ceux qui, partout dans le monde, vĂ©rifient les faits et dĂ©construisent les infox.


🌐 En 2025, l’accompagnement de 25 000 personnes dans le cadre de projets de CFI a permis de soutenir des rĂ©seaux de vĂ©rification qui rassemblent aujourd’hui plus de 300 fact-checkers dans 14 pays.


Cette action s’inscrit dans la durĂ©e : former, relier, structurer des Ă©cosystĂšmes capables de faire face aux manipulations de l’information.


💡 Elle s’appuie aussi sur le dĂ©veloppement d’outils innovants.


🔎 Parmi eux, askVera, une solution française gratuite d’intelligence artificielle, permet de vĂ©rifier plus facilement la fiabilitĂ© d’une information. DĂ©ployĂ©e notamment en Afrique francophone, elle est dĂ©jĂ  utilisĂ©e pour rĂ©pondre aux enjeux de vĂ©rification au quotidien.


Soutenir le fact-checking, c’est renforcer la capacitĂ© de chacun Ă  s’informer librement et de maniĂšre Ă©clairĂ©e.
