Susan Wojcicki, the former CEO of YouTube, has passed away at the age of 56 after a two-year battle with cancer.
In a 2021 interview, Wojcicki discussed her approach to combating vaccine misinformation. She detailed how YouTube implemented ten specific policies related to COVID-19, including the removal of content that violated these guidelines. Under her leadership, YouTube removed over a million videos associated with COVID “misinformation.”
Wojcicki worked collaboratively with the Biden administration and health experts, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, to address vaccine hesitancy. This initiative included leveraging creators to disseminate trusted information and sharing personal stories from individuals about their decision to get vaccinated.
Coincidentally, this week, the world also says goodbye to Jane Hansen, a well-known Australian television reporter. In her 50s, Hansen was a prominent figure at The Sunday Telegraph and previously worked as a war correspondent and for "A Current Affair." Admired for her fearless journalism and commitment to revealing the truth, she passed away on August 6, 2024, after an 18-month battle with glioblastoma, a fast-growing and aggressive form of brain cancer.
In 2021, Hansen made a significant impact with her documentary titled "Big Shots: Anti-vaxxers Exposed," which aimed to combat vaccine hesitancy during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We bid farewell to these two fearless women who made significant contributions to combating misinformation, particularly in the fight against anti-vaxxers. Their unwavering dedication to truth will inspire and leave a lasting legacy.
