"I argue that the central challenge is not to combat misinformation, but to accelerate progress towards universal access to reliable healthcare information."
I suggest that this a contrast between the old and the young. In days of old, information was much more scarce. I think we easily for get how much easier it is to get free information today as compared to say 30 ago. As there is progress on free information, its reliability becomes more of a problem.
"global health leaders wrote in The Lancet: "The challenge is to ensure that everyone in the world can have access to clean, clear, knowledge — a basic human right,"
IMHO these global health leaders are wrong. "knowledge" is what is in people's head. The proper term should be "information".
