Mark R. Miller, Brian C. Castrucci
Abstract
Nearly a year into a once-in-a-century pandemic, US leaders continue to struggle to communicate salient coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) information that resonates with the public and builds trust in science. Contributing to this challenge is the nation's highly politicized response to the pandemic and growing ideological tensions.
