Surgeon General Vivek Murthy’s Advisory on Confronting Health Misinformation (2021)
In 2021, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy issued this advisory on confronting health misinformation. As Dr. Murthy says at the beginning of the advisory, “Health misinformation is a serious threat to public health. It can cause confusion, sow mistrust, harm people’s health, and undermine public health efforts. Limiting the spread of health misinformation is a moral and civic imperative that will require a whole-of-society effort.”
Part of what we do as a Coalition is provide the most accurate, up to date information that we have, using plain language so that it’s as accessible as possible.
