Abstract
A successful public health response to a crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic requires broad dissemination and widespread acceptance of accurate information. Yet nowhere has the politicization of scientific fact and the subsequent loss of trust in expert advice been made more clear than in the nation’s fractured handling of the virus. This has led some to declare COVID-19 to be “the first post-truth pandemic.” Forging a path forward will require addressing the roots of our systemic departure from shared scientific realities. On this week’s COVID Law Briefing, experts seek a return to truth.
Description
The COVID-19 Law and Policy Briefings, hosted in two series from March 2020 through July 2021, feature US and international public health law experts discussing the biggest legal issues arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. The briefings are produced by the George Consortium, co-sponsored by the Center for Health Policy and Law at Northeastern University School of Law, the Center for Public Health Law Research at Temple University Beasley School of Law, and the APHA Law Section. Visit Public Health Law Watch (http://bit.ly/COVIDLawBriefing) to watch episodes. All past briefings are also archived by The Week in Health Law podcast.
