《骗局的atomy:美国的阴谋论、不信任与公共卫生》

English | September 3rd, 2024 | ISBN: 0197678122 | 256 pages | True EPUB | 1.32 MB

Veteran health writer Sara Gorman compellingly argues that the backbone of medical conspiracy theories is not misinformation but lack of trust--in our hospitals and in our democracy writ large.

In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, trust in the healthcare system seems to be at an all-time low. Conspiracy theories are now mainstream, and distrust of government health agencies is common among private citizens. Yet many of those same individuals still profess trust in their doctors. What, then, is driving the general mistrust in medicine, and how can the public's faith be restored?

The Anatomy of Deception investigates the cause behind this seeming uptick in distrust by tracing the unexpected connection between medical mistrust and the move toward far right ideology in the United States. Drawing on personal qualitative research and interviews, health writer and expert Sara Gorman challenges traditional concepts of medical mistrust and argues that the loss of institutional trust in American health care signals a larger breakdown in democracy as a whole. In six short chapters, Gorman advances the idea of medical mistrust not as a byproduct of personal or historical abuses but as a direct result of bias, miscommunication, and lack of access that has slowly eroded trust in the public health system over time. She argues that we can build back trust in medicine through investments in health equity as a first step towards healing the schisms present in modern American society.

Wide-ranging yet incisive, The Anatomy of Deception uncovers the root of medical mistrust in America and how we can regain trust in the systems and values central to our democracy.


资深健康记者萨拉·戈尔曼 compelling 地论述说,医疗阴谋论的支柱不是虚假信息,而是缺乏信任——在医院和广泛意义上的民主面前。 自新冠疫情过后,人们对卫生系统的信任似乎处于历史低点。如今,阴谋论已成为主流,并且许多普通公民对政府卫生机构的信任度很低。然而,很多同样是这些人士仍然信任他们的医生。那么,一般公众对医疗的不信任是由什么驱动的?我们又如何恢复公众对医学的信任呢? 《谎言的解剖学》通过追溯美国右翼意识形态转向与医疗不信任之间的意外联系,来探究这种似乎上升了的信任缺失背后的原因。萨拉·戈尔曼运用个人质性研究和采访的结果,挑战传统的医疗不信任概念,并且认为对美国卫生保健体系的信任丧失意味着整体民主的崩溃。 在六章简短的章节中,《谎言的解剖学》提出医疗不信任并非是由于个人或历史上的虐待行为而产生的副产品,而是因为偏见、沟通不当以及长期缺乏访问机会导致信任缓慢地从公共卫生系统中消失。戈尔曼认为,我们可以通过投资健康平等来恢复对医学的信任,这是走向修复现代美国社会裂痕的第一步。 《谎言的解剖学》内容广泛且深刻,揭示了美国人医疗不信任的根源,并告诉我们如何通过体系和价值观重新获得民主的信任。
