当初步证据表明它们不是一个重要因素时（5）。为了打击这种新的错误信息，科学家必须明确沟通，并对不准确的、出于政治动机的叙述提出异议。黑人、原住民和拉丁美洲人承担了美国不科学的COVID-19管理不善的最大负担（6）。反对警察暴行的抗议被认为是不紧急或不必要的，尽管有证据表明系统性的种族不公正不成比例地杀害了美国黑人。科学证据本应是公共讨论和健康与公民权利政策的前沿，但却被政治争论淹没了。科学家们谨慎地解释不确定性，而政客和出于政治动机的媒体则强调指责和盗用科学证据。科学家们不能允许宣传者散布谎言，破坏对COVID-19的合理反应，或迫切需要在美国黑人的健康公平和社会正义方面取得进展。知情的科学家必须在复杂的问题上采取强有力的公众立场，强调证据，以便向公众而不仅仅是其他科学家清楚地传达科学结果。各机构必须认识到，目前的晋升和任期制度贬低了这种交流的价值，造成了巨大的社会代价。不负责任的、不科学的声音已经杀死了太多人，因为它们的影响力和效力。必须更新学术激励措施，以有意义地奖励外联工作，科学培训应使科学家能够讨论他们的发现
when preliminary evidence suggests they were not a substantial factor (5). To combat this new misinformation, scientists must communicate clearly and dispute inaccurate, politically motivated narratives. Black, Native, and Latinx Americans have shouldered the greatest burden of the unscientific COVID-19 mismanagement in the United States (6). Protests against police brutality have been dismissed as nonurgent or unnecessary, despite evidence that systemic racial injustice disproportionately kills Black Americans (7). Scientific evidence, which should be at the forefront of public discussions and policy on health and civil rights, has been drowned out by political arguments.Scientists cautiously explain uncertainties while politicians and politically motivated media outlets emphatically cast blame and misappropriate scientific evidence. Scientists cannot allow propagandists to spread lies that dismantle a reasoned response to COVID-19 or urgently needed progress toward health equity and social justice for Black Americans. Informed scientists must take a strong public stance on complex issues, emphasizing evidence to clearly communicate and contextualize scientific results to the public, not just to other scientists. Institutions must recognize that the current system of promotion and tenure devalues such communication, at a huge societal cost. Irresponsible, unscientific voices have killed too many because of their reach and efficacy. Academic incentives must be updated to meaningfully reward outreach efforts, and scientific training should prepare scientists to discuss their findings
