“…How political leaders have publicly addressed COVID-19-related topics can influence both levels of trust and the type of citizens' response [7]. Indeed, as [9] highlighted, people's attitudes and behaviours can be influenced by how the COVID-19 crisis has been framed in scientific discussions, media and social media communication, and political speeches. Also, trust in key actors is fundamental to enhancing citizens' adherence to restrictive and protective measures embracement [10,11] and increasing the willingness to be vaccinated [12,13].…”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, science has been prominently featured in institutional communication and political agendas as never before. Governments substantially relied on scientific experts to analyze pandemic trends, develop anti-COVID-19 vaccines and adopt containment strategies. In this paper, we analyze speeches by three political leaders–Boris Johnson (Prime Minister, UK), Sergio Mattarella (President of the Republic, Italy), and Ursula von der Leyen (President, European Commission)–between February 20, 2020, and February 20, 2022, to identify how science was addressed and framed. The results of the quantitative and qualitative exploration of the speeches highlight three main ways in which political leaders view science: a national pride narrative–i.e., science as an instrument and indicator of national pride and international standing of the country; an ethical narrative–i.e., science as an agent of social growth; an integration narrative–i.e., science as a driving force of both European integration and stronger collaboration between knowledge production and industry. The predominant narrative varies in relation to the political leaders’ different institutional contexts and roles.

“…En este sentido, destacamos algunas publicaciones que han analizado las representaciones sociales en los medios de comunicación sobre distintos temas relacionados a la salud: aborto (Souza & Brandão, 2012), autismo (Rios et al, 2015), vejez (Stacheski & Massi, 2011), ritalina (Ortega et al, 2015), ciencia (Delicado & Rowland, 2021) y HIV (Jaspal & Nerlich, 2022). Específicamente, las representaciones sociales de la pandemia del covid-19 en los medios de comunicación también han sido estudiadas (Ittefaq et al, 2022;Vasilachis de Gialdino, 2022;Martikainen & Sakki, 2021;De Rosa et al, 2021;De Rosa & Mannarini, 2020;Idoiaga et al, 2020). No obstante, hasta nuestro conocimiento, no existen trabajos que investiguen las representaciones de las vacunas en los medios de comunicación durante la pandemia, foco de nuestro trabajo.…”

Se analiza la cobertura de las vacunas en la prensa española El País y El Mundo, comparando los periodos prepandémico (2012-2019) y pandémico (2020-2021) a través de la metodología de análisis de contenido. Durante la etapa prepandemia, la cobertura sobre vacunas tuvo un enfoque eminentemente científico cuyas piezas periodísticas presentaban el desarrollo de nuevas vacunas e investigaciones biomédicas. Sin embargo, durante el periodo pandémico, en la cobertura de las vacunas contra la covid-19 destacó fundamentalmente la prevención, así como las campañas de vacunación. Durante la pandemia, las piezas periodísticas muestran una mayor extensión y profundidad informativa. Además, en ambos periodos predomina el tono positivo hacia la vacunación, y un encuadre de interés humano. Durante la pandemia de covid-19, el periodismo se ha convertido en una estrategia prioritaria y esencial para mantener a la población bien informada sobre la situación sanitaria y las medidas preventivas.

“…Rozendo,A; Giacomozzi, AI; Bousfield, ABS; Leandro, M; Fiorott, JG; Silveira, A -E em relação à Covid-19, houve em vários países do mundo uma polarização dos discursos oficiais (de Rosa et al, 2021), influenciando as RS dos grupos sobre a doença. No Brasil, a posição negacionista do presidente da República, Jair Bolsonaro (Moretti-Pires & Sturari, 2021), acabou por provocar uma polarização informacional (Justo, Bousfield, Giacomozzi, & Camargo, 2020) entre ele e o então ministro da Saúde, o que gerou uma disputa de narrativas em torno do fenômeno, típica das RS polêmicas (Moscovici, 1988).…”

Estudos apontam que os homens idosos são o grupo de maior risco de agravo e morte pela COVID-19, em decorrência de fatores biopsicossociais. As Representações Sociais (RS) possuem um papel importante nas práticas sociais pois orientam as ações de grupos. Nesse sentido, o presente estudo propôs-se a investigar as RS de homens idosos brasileiros sobre a COVID-19 de acordo com seu pertencimento grupal e sentimentos gerados pela pandemia. Para tanto, realizou-se um estudo de caráter exploratório-descritivo e comparativo lastreado pela TRS, com a participação de 102 homens. Os resultados apontaram para um possível núcleo central composto pelos elementos cuidados, medo e vírus. Ao comparar as RS de acordo com pertencimento grupal politico, observa-se RS polêmicas, pois o grupo de direita ainda que compreenda a necessidade de cuidados e tenha medo, possui incertezas sobre a doença, enquanto que os demais grupos trouxeram elementos mais ligados a prevenção. Por fim, os sentimentos de mal-estar, saudades, preocupações, resiliência e esperança foram os mais gerados nos idosos por conta da pandemia.
