“…Supporters concluded that the more virulent Delta variant posed a risk to the “pandemic of the unvaccinated” before the eventual attainment of herd immunity ( 24 ), particularly in-person schools ( 25 ), and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) ( 26 ). Dr. Hooper strongly urged that healthcare workers (HCWs) should get their jabs in her editorial ( 27 ), as well as Kelly and Jackson ( 28 ). Dr. Akova, Editor-in-Chief of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology , applauded the statement in his editorial for its appropriateness, despite the fact that fully vaccinated populations could also become infected with high viral loads and there is not a one-size-fits-all evidence-based vaccination strategy ( 29 ).…”

COVID-19 pandemic is fueling digital health transformation—accelerating innovations of digital health services, surveillance, and interventions, whereas hastening social contagion of deliberate infodemic. The USA and many other countries are experiencing a resurgent wave of the COVID-19 pandemic with vaccination rate slowdown, making policymaking fraught with challenges. Political leaders and scientists have publicly warned of a “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” reinforcing their calls for citizens to get jabs. However, some scientists accused elites of stigmatizing the unvaccinated people and undermining the moral pillars of public health. Following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines, we first reviewed the nuances of stakeholders involved in the ongoing debates and revealed the potential consequences of divisive pronouncements to provide perspectives to reframe extensible discussions. Then, we employed the convergent cross mapping (CCM) model to reveal the uncharted knock-on effects of the contentious tsunami in a stakeholders-oriented policymaking framework, coupled with rich metadata from the GDELT project and Google Trends. Our experimental findings suggest that current news coverage may shape the mindsets of the vaccines against the unvaccinated, thereby exacerbating the risk of dualistic antagonism in algorithmically infused societies. Finally, we briefly summarized how open debates are conducive to increasing vaccination rates and bolstering the outcomes of impending policies for pandemic preparedness.

“…Furthermore, if some nurses have lived the vaccination campaign for COVID-19 as a moral obligation and a gesture of social responsibility, others have experienced this vaccine as an imposition, promoting a bioethical debate on its mandatory nature within health organizations. 69 , 70 Thus, in uncertain and pandemic times characterized by misinformation, 71 governments, public health organizations and professional associations are called upon to promote tailored communication campaigns on vaccine efficacy using different channels (e.g. social media) for informing hesitant and opposed nurses making the ‘right choice’ by acting as part of the solution, not the problem.…”

Objective To examine the experience of Italian nurses posted on social media and discover changes, if any, over the waves. Methods A mixed methods study reported according to the Good Reporting of a Mixed Methods Study criteria. All narratives (texts, letters and interviews) posted by Italian nurses from February 2020 to May 2020 (first wave) and from October 2020 to May 2021 (second/third wave) on the five most famous Italian professional social media platforms. The data were analysed qualitatively (first wave) and then quantitatively (second/third wave). Results A total of 380 narratives (202,626 words, 2510 quotes) were posted in the first wave, and 161 (68,388 words, 835 quotes) in the second/third wave. In the first wave, the following five themes emerged: (a) ‘sharing what is happening within myself’ (891; 35.5%); (b) ‘experiencing unprecedented working conditions’ (749; 29.8%); (c) ‘failing to rehabilitate the image of nurses in society’ (376; 15%); (d) ‘experiencing a deep change’ (253; 10.1%) and (e) ‘do not abandon us’ (241; 9.6%). The same themes and subthemes also emerged in the second/third wave with some significant differences, indicating changes in the lived experience of nurses. Moreover, in the second/third wave, a new theme emerged: ‘experiencing the mixed emotions towards jabs’. Conclusions By analysing their posts, Italian nurses continue to face challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, with changes in their lived experiences across the waves. Governments, nursing associations and health care organizations should consider these changes to design policies to prevent the further loss of nurses.
