Few place significant trust in any form of news media or official institution to accurately convey information about health topics.
Around 3 in 10 Americans still believe ivermectin is an effective treatment for covid, according to a new KFF poll.
The confusion about what’s true — and who’s telling the truth — is of critical importance to public health, experts in political science said. “Misinformation leads to lives being lost and health problems not being resolved,” Bob Blendon, a professor emeritus of public health at Harvard, said in an interview. Blendon was not associated with the survey.KFF poll
More than a third of respondents also thought using birth control, such as intrauterine devices, made it harder for most women to get pregnant once they stopped. Respondents did not have “a lot” of trust in the information relayed by any news media institution, and just over a quarter had this high level of trust for local TV news stations. And that was the highest mark of the institutions tested, which ran the ideological and stylistic gamut from MSNBC toto Fox News and Newsmax. More people had “a little” trust in each of these institutions.
The public conversation tends to focus on the often extreme declarations and wild claims featured on social media, and both corporate and government attempts to regulate the medium, Blendon noted. Sixty-nine percent of respondents said social media companies were not doing enough to limit the spread of false or inaccurate information.
The picture is similarly bleak for official institutions. Around a quarter of respondents had “a great deal” of trust in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendations. That response rate dropped to a fifth when it came to the Food and Drug Administration. The Biden administration, Donald Trump, and state and local public health officials lagged behind.
