Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#3-DE Die Desinformations-Epidemie
Q: Wie können EU- und nationale Akteure Vertrauen besser aufbauen?
Indem man faire, transparente Entscheidungsprozesse sichtbar macht, die Bedürfnisse der lokalen Gemeinschaften ernst nimmt und Räume für Mitgestaltung schafft, anstatt ausschließlich top-down zu kommunizieren.
#3-DE Die Desinformations-Epidemie
Q: Welche Trends bei Fehl- und Desinformation beobachten Sie heute im Vergleich zur Frühphase der Pandemie?
Es gibt mehr Politisierung, breitere Themenfelder jenseits der reinen Impfstoffthemen, und eine starke Rolle von Online-Kanälen; der Fokus verschiebt sich von rein medizinischen Details zu gesellschaftlicher Polarisierung.
#3-EN The Misinformation Epidemic
Q: What does research say about the trend from the pre-COVID era to today regarding health misinformation, especially around vaccines?
She notes that misinformation has always circulated, but crises amplify it; the COVID era highlighted how polarization and distrust—rather than plain anti-vaccination sentiment alone—drive public hesitancy, and stressed the need for listening-led engagement and transparency to rebuild trust.
#3-EN The Misinformation Epidemic
Q: What is the impact of mis- and disinformation on uptake of medical countermeasures, and how can we tackle its spread?
Larson explains that misinformation can undermine vaccine acceptance and trust in health systems, especially during outbreaks, and that responses must combine accurate information with strategies that address underlying fears, values, and social dynamics, including partnerships with social scientists and trusted community figures to counter misinformation.
#3-FR L’épidémie de la désinformation
Q: Heidi Larson, quel est l'impact concret de la mésinformation et de la désinformation sur l'adoption des vaccins et des traitements, en particulier en situation de crise sanitaire ?
L'impact se voit dans une augmentation de la polarisation et une baisse de l'adhésion future; les campagnes d'information doivent être complétées par des efforts pour toucher les communautés et expliquer les raisonnements derrière les décisions, afin de restaurer la confiance.
