DISPELLING VACCINE MIS & DISINFORMATION NARRATIVES
May 19, 2022
Earlier today, the San Francisco Interfaith Council (SFIC) hosted the 79th in a series of online briefings for faith leaders. Today's briefing featured a presentation by the California Department of Public Health's (CDHP) Vaccinate ALL 58 (VA58) Trust & Safety Team principals Maddie Klaff and Tom Revelli, who provided an overview of the Team's work, several recent English and Spanish misinformation narratives about COVID-19 vaccines identified in recent reporting, and ways faith-based trusted partners can assist to slow the spread of misinformation. Their presentation was preceded by a moving and informative "Reflective Moment," offered by SFIC Board Member, Third Baptist Church Associate Pastor/Education Minister, UCSF Department of Family & Community Medicine Assistant Professional Researcher, and San Francisco African American Faith-Based Coalition Executive Director Rev. Dr. Jonathan Butler.
Also participating were Zoom Briefing Moderator/SFIC Executive Director Michael Pappas and SFIC Board Chair Nancy Nielsen. Special appreciation is extended to SFIC Program/Administrative Associate Cynthia Zamboukos and Enceladus Event Production and Consulting principal Tre Russell Allen.
Please join us on Thursday, May 26, 2022, at 8:30 am, when San Francisco Department of Public Health, Health Officer Dr. Susan Philip, will brief faith leaders on the status of COVID-19 in San Francisco, including case and hospitalization counts and what they mean, the City's strategy for mitigating the virus' impact on vulnerable communities, and what we can do to protect ourselves and slow the spread.
