Public-private cooperation for pandemic preparedness and response: a call to action
Governments and the private sector should assign a greater priority to developing methods to combat mis- and disinformation prior to the next pandemic response. Governments will need to partner with traditional and social media companies to research and develop nimble approaches to countering misinformation. This will require developing the ability to flood media with fast, accurate, and consistent information. … For their part, media companies should commit to ensuring that authoritative messages are prioritized and that false messages are suppressed including though the use of technology.
Seven joint recommendations: plan the use of corporate capabilities in a pandemic; expand international countermeasure stockpiles with CEPI, Gavi and the WHO; maintain travel and trade, criticizing past 'unjustified border measures' and 'the closure of customer-facing businesses'; fund surge manufacturing of vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics; enlist business advocacy; expand pandemic finance; and combat mis- and disinformation.
