Pharma PR & Communications 2021

The global pandemic has spawned another variant: the COVID-19 infodemic — described as “a mix of evolving and conflicting findings, factual errors, rumors, and conspiracy theories, spread lightning-fast through all forms of media, often to promote political agendas rather than public health.” 

Communicating around complex science and data in an era of politicization and distrust can be a challenge in any disease state. In this session, we’ll explore the changing environment, and the people and platforms that can help make a message trustworthy and transparent.
