Trust in medicine is shifting. The COVID-19 pandemic marked a turning point, accelerating a broader cultural transformation in how people relate to systems of science and expertise. Evolving guidelines, inconsistent communication, and longstanding inequities left many patients and clinicians feeling disoriented or even betrayed. At the same time, new forms of authority — social media voices, algorithm-driven platforms, and AI-generated content — have begun shaping public understanding of health as much, or more, than traditional medical voices.
