“…For the past year, the rapidly increasing number of cases and deaths caused by SARS-nCoV-2 and the race against time to develop a vaccine for the new virus have caused many eyes to turn to healthcare providers, researchers and science, and affected attitudes toward them. The evidence from the previous studies is ambiguous, showing that trust in physicians and science increased in some countries during the pandemic but decreased in others [ 17 , 18 ]. Attitudes toward vaccination (also toward the new vaccines for COVID-19) are similarly diverse.…”

Background: The research focused on the relationships between attitudes towards vaccination and the trust placed in different sources of information (science, experts and the information available on the Internet) before and during COVID-19. Method: A longitudinal design was applied with the first measurement in February 2018 (N = 1039). The second measurement (N = 400) was carried out in December 2020 to test if the pandemic influenced the trust in different sources of information. Results: The final analyses carried out on final sample of 400 participants showed that there has been no change in trust in the Internet as a source of knowledge about health during the pandemic. However, the trust in science, physicians, subjective health knowledge, as well as the attitude towards the vaccination has declined. Regression analysis also showed that changes in the level of trust in physicians and science were associated with analogous (in the same direction) changes in attitudes toward vaccination. The study was also focused on the trust in different sources of health knowledge as possible predictors of willingness to be vaccinated against SARS-nCoV-2. However, it appeared that the selected predictors explained a small part of the variance. This suggests that attitudes toward the new COVID vaccines may have different sources than attitudes toward vaccines that have been known to the public for a long time.

“…Hospitals and clinicians need to move away from asking why certain populations do not trust them and toward striving to be trustworthy. 17 mAbs may pose difficulty to children's hospitals with regard to balancing competing priorities and children's best interests.…”

SARS-CoV-2 Monoclonal Antibodies in Children: Ethical Considerations

Clinical Therapeutics

The use of monoclonal antibodies in children with certain conditions and at high risk for severe COVID-19 has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration under the Emergency Use Authorization mechanism of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. No data on the tolerability or efficacy of these therapies in persons < 18 years of age are available; there is risk. Whether they will work is unknown, but they could. A disproportionate number of these children who meet the criteria for treatment with mAbs are from communities of black, Native American, and other race. How should health systems, hospitals, and clinicians balance the tensions between being seen as experimenting with an untested drug as opposed to withholding a potentially lifesaving treatment? This article identifies, analyzes, and makes recommendations on the methods by which health systems, hospitals, and individual clinicians can ethically balance these tensions.

“…Theirs is one of few theoretically based studies of trust in relationships and encounters. A recent issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association devoted several articles [6][7][8][9] and an editorial 10 to trust among patients and clinicians. These articles establish trust as a contemporary metric of concern.…”
