Zusammenfassung:In May 2021, Stanford University School of Medicine convened over 40 global researchers, physicians, and health advocates and 500 health attendees across 12 time zones to share lessons learned from their country’s respective public health efforts during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The ongoing conflict within the US two-party political system with polarized views regarding the power of the state over individual rights extends into public health, with some right-wing members rejecting mandatory masks and calls for vaccination as a subversive plot [5]. Some of the highest rates of vaccination within the USA are seen in areas where there is political alignment and community support of health authorities [7], and this approach should be heavily considered in the goal for herd immunity. Knowledge sharing on a global scale will allow national leaders to combine local and international perspectives and build the most informed perspective prior to building and implementing their public health agendas and recommendations [9].
