half an Airedale and half a Retriever, and the worst half of both
В Нью-Йоркере статья по vaccine hesitancy, в частности про тётеньку которая профессионально это дело изучает много лет (есть оказывается такая профессия, vaccine anthropologist). Цитатко:
In 2016, Larson helped develop a tabletop pandemic communications exercise sponsored by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. The exercise was based around the idea of a fictional coronavirus pandemic in the year 2025. The notional virus originated in Southeast Asia, but was first diagnosed in Minnesota among returning missionaries; it became known as spars, or St. Paul Acute Respiratory Syndrome. Holiday travel accelerated its spread, launching a global pandemic.
In the exercise, the response to the fictional pandemic was tripped up by government agencies offering conflicting information, national and local leaders sending mixed messages, and scientists struggling to explain shifting data. Citizens, many of whom already distrusted government and Big Pharma, were disoriented by the fragmented media landscape, social-media provocateurs, and malevolent actors for whom confusion offered political or financial gain. “I predict that the next major outbreak . . . will not be due to a lack of preventive technologies,” Larson wrote, in Nature, the following year. “Instead, emotional contagion, digitally enabled, could erode trust in vaccines so much as to render them moot.”
