How has mismanaged government communication during health crises affected public trust in vaccines and future pandemic preparedness?

Shane Smith argues that poor government communication and polarizing propaganda during health emergencies have dramatically eroded public trust in vaccines. He illustrates this by pointing out that anti-vaccine sentiment has grown from approximately 5% to potentially 50% of the population. This breakdown in trust means that if a serious health threat like Ebola emerges, half the population may refuse vaccination due to skepticism created by previous mismanagement. The consequence is a dangerous cycle where government credibility issues during one crisis create vulnerabilities for handling future public health emergencies.
