In his account of the 1918 pandemic, The Great Influenza, John Barry writes, “If there is a single dominant lesson from 1918, it’s that governments need to tell the truth in a crisis. ‘Risk communication’ implies managing the truth. You don’t manage the truth. You tell the truth.” During the pandemic, our public health establishment has been in the spotlight like never before, and this has exposed its penchant for “risk communication” (bending the truth), which has damaged its reputation at a time when we urgently need to be able to trust our public health experts and institutions.
