在这篇评论中，我们回顾了民粹主义政治的发展，与利用所谓的假新闻有关。我们探讨了某些词语在历史上如何在类似的背景下使用，特别是“人民的敌人”一词，尤其是在公共卫生方面。然后，我们为面临这些情况的公共卫生专业人员制定了 6 条原则。首先，利用他们的流行病学技能，他们可以深入了解民粹主义政治增长的背后原因。其次，利用他们在建模和健康影响评估方面的专业知识，他们可以预测民粹主义政策的后果并发出警告。第三，它们可以支持有效公共卫生所必需的机构。第四，他们可以重塑叙事，拒绝仇恨和分裂，促进社会团结。第五，它们可以支持事实核查和证据的使用。最后，他们应该永远记住历史的教训，特别是公共卫生有时与极权主义和种族灭绝政权合作的方式。
In this commentary, we review the growth of populist politics, associated with exploitation of what has been termed fake news. We explore how certain words have been used in similar contexts historically, in particular the term "enemy of the people," especially with regard to public health. We then set out 6 principles for public health professionals faced with these situations. First, using their epidemiological skills, they can provide insights into the reasons underlying the growth of populist politics. Second using their expertise in modelling and health impact assessment, they can anticipate and warn about the consequences of populist policies. Third, they can support the institutions that are necessary for effective public health. Fourth they can reclaim the narrative, rejecting hatred and division, to promote social solidarity. Fifth, they can support fact checking and the use of evidence. Finally, they should always remember the lessons of history, and in particular, the way that public health has, on occasions, collaborated with totalitarian and genocidal regimes.
