This not only endangers individuals but also increases the risk of outbreaks of preventable diseases on a global scale. A global initiate would ensure that accurate information reaches people everywhere. It would also help build public trust by promoting transparency and making information accessible. Read Less

I think this because a single global initiative will overlook countries’ unique differences, making it less effective overall. Countries vary in their beliefs, culture, health systems, and communication strategies, so trying to apply one unitary approach won’t be effective. Also, vaccines and vaccine standards differ across regions, as not every country faces the same health challenges. Therefore, before even discussing a global initiative on misinformation, there needs to be an effort to first standardize vaccines and public health practices worldwide–another initiative that should be debated. Read Less

While global organizations such as the WHO already provide reliable information about vaccines, the persistence of misinformation shows that a global initiative alone is insufficient. The WHO’s role is primarily informational rather than corrective, and global communications cannot easily account for local political, cultural, and linguistic contexts that shape how people perceive vaccines. Therefore, combating misinformation must occur at the domestic level. Trusted local experts, medical professionals, and community leaders should take the lead in communicating accurate information, ensuring that public understanding is shaped by science rather than by political narratives or online misinformation. Read Less
