What counts as “health misinformation” and who gets to decide?
‘Misinformation’, we are often told, is everywhere. In recent years, there has been significant policy attention to the regulation of unproven, disproven or misleading health - claims, and their potentially harmful effects.
Helen Wright, Senior Impact Manager at Kings College London interviews Professor Emilie Cloatre from The Dickson Poon School of Law and Professor Martyn Pickersgill from the University of Edinburgh, to discuss ‘Between Deception and Dissent'. This global research project critically explores how unproven and contested health claims are recognised, problematised and regulated across Europe, West Africa, and North America.
