À notre connaissance, aucune étude n’a examiné le harcèlement en ligne des médecins et des scientifiques pendant la pandémie. Nous avons interrogé des médecins, des scientifiques biomédicaux et des stagiaires qui ont été victimes de harcèlement en ligne pendant la pandémie, en particulier en ce qui concerne la diffusion des informations de santé publique COVID-19.
Advocacy on social media is not without risks. In a survey conducted before the COVID-19 pandemic, 23.3% of physicians reported personal attacks on social media, primarily for public health advocacy on topics including firearms, vaccinations, and abortion access. While the Surgeon General encourages physicians and scientists to use social media to address misinformation, concerns for harassment remain. To our knowledge, no study has examined online harassment of physicians and scientists during the pandemic. We surveyed physicians, biomedical scientists, and trainees who experienced online harassment during the pandemic, particularly relating to dissemination of COVID-19 public health information.
