Summary

The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) is considering leaving Elon Musk’s X due to its role in spreading misinformation, ECDC Director Pamela Rendi-Wagner said at POLITICO’s Health Care Summit.

“Twitter, or X, is now in every newspaper. Everybody is leaving X, and maybe for good reasons. We are discussing this as well at ECDC at the moment,” she stated.

Rendi-Wagner stressed the need for clearer, engaging communication to rebuild trust, while acknowledging social media’s potential for positive community engagement.
