English version below<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

De senaste dagarna har det \u00e5ter flammat upp en debatt om debatten; en diskussion om de personliga p\u00e5hopp, h\u00e5nfulla kommentarer, hot och trakasserier som tyv\u00e4rr verkar bli allt vanligare p\u00e5 den publika arenan. Inte minst har KI-forskare f\u00e5tt erfara detta i allt h\u00f6gre grad under det senaste dryga \u00e5ret under pandemin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Den g\u00e5ngna helgen fick jag ett antal nya exempel p\u00e5 det h\u00e4r. Svenska Dagbladet publicerade i s\u00f6ndags<\/a> ett l\u00e5ngt och mycket genomarbetat reportage om det som KI-professorn Jonas F Ludvigsson utsatts f\u00f6r sedan han i januari i \u00e5r publicerade en studie i ansedda New England Journal of Medicine<\/a>. Ludvigsson och hans medforskare har g\u00e5tt igenom i vilken utstr\u00e4ckning barn blev sv\u00e5rt sjuka, det vill s\u00e4ga sjukhusv\u00e5rd, p\u00e5 grund av covid-19 under den f\u00f6rsta fasen av smittspridningen, fr\u00e5n mars till juni 2020. Det h\u00e4r kan ses som extra intressant d\u00e5 Sverige h\u00f6ll f\u00f6rskolor och grundskolor \u00f6ppna, i motsats till m\u00e5nga andra j\u00e4mf\u00f6rbara l\u00e4nder. Resultatet visade bland annat att ett mycket litet antal barn beh\u00f6vde sjukhusv\u00e5rd med covid-19 som orsak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hat- och h\u00e5nfulla kommentarer<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Efter publiceringen fick Jonas F Ludvigsson ta emot m\u00e4ngder av hat- och h\u00e5nfulla kommentarer, n\u00e5gra fall av rena trakasserier och ocks\u00e5 ett antal meddelanden som kan tolkas som uttalade hot. Ni k\u00e4nner s\u00e4kert till vad som sedan skedde. Han best\u00e4mde sig f\u00f6r att avveckla sin covid-relaterade forskning och slutade delta i den offentliga diskussionen om detta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En synnerligen beklaglig konsekvens som ledde till m\u00e5nga sympatiyttringar till och st\u00f6d f\u00f6r Jonas F Ludvigsson, men ocks\u00e5 till en v\u00e4lbeh\u00f6vlig och efterfr\u00e5gad debatt om vad som faktiskt \u00e4r rimligt att beh\u00f6va utst\u00e5 n\u00e4r man fullg\u00f6r den \u201ctredje uppgiften\u201d och som forskare deltar aktivt i samh\u00e4llsdebatten. Alla sunt t\u00e4nkande m\u00e4nniskor inser naturligtvis att vi m\u00e5ste kunna diskutera, kritiskt granska och ifr\u00e5gas\u00e4tta forskningsresultat och slutsatser utan att f\u00f6rfalla till respektl\u00f6sa och omd\u00f6mesl\u00f6sa personliga p\u00e5hopp, sprida oseri\u00f6sa konspirationer eller skriva hatfulla kommentarer under pseudonym p\u00e5 sociala medier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barnvaccination<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Helgens publicering av reportaget i Svenska Dagbladet r\u00e5kade sammanfalla med en hastigt uppblossande diskussion om covid-vaccination av barn, fr\u00e4mst i \u00e5ldrarna 12-17 \u00e5r. Flera KI-forskare uttalade sig i massmedier i egenskap av experter och n\u00e4stan omedelbart d\u00f6k det \u00e5ter upp ett antal h\u00e5n- och hatfulla inl\u00e4gg p\u00e5 sociala medier och via andra kanaler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Det \u00e4r alldeles tydligt att det finns m\u00e4nniskor som inte kan skilja p\u00e5 en kritisk och respektfull diskussion fr\u00e5n rena p\u00e5hopp. Alla som deltar i en akademisk, vetenskaplig diskussion m\u00e5ste f\u00f6rst\u00e5 att hypoteser, slutsatser och resultat kan och b\u00f6r ifr\u00e5gas\u00e4ttas av andra forskare. Det \u00e4r bland annat genom en aktiv och kritisk diskussion med kollegor som vi driver fram kvalitetsbaserad kunskap. Inl\u00e4gg i debatten ska dock inte kr\u00e4nka andra \u2013 lika lite som att en forskare som blir kritiserad p\u00e5 faktabaserade grunder ska k\u00e4nna sig kr\u00e4nkt. En vetenskaplig dialog k\u00e4nnetecknas av \u00f6msesidig respekt. Det \u00e4r samtidigt viktigt att f\u00f6rst\u00e5 att vetenskaplig kompetens inom ett omr\u00e5de inte per automatik ger legitimitet att tillskriva sig kompetens eller auktoritet inom ett annat omr\u00e5de<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glasklar inst\u00e4llning<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Jag har tidigare skrivit och blivit intervjuad om detta ett flertal g\u00e5nger, senast i s\u00f6ndagens SvD-reportage och tidigare i Dagens Nyheter<\/a> och British Medical Journa<\/a>l. Min inst\u00e4llning \u00e4r glasklar: Forskare ska uppmuntras att delta i samh\u00e4llsdebatten. Deras kunskap, kompetens och engagemang beh\u00f6vs och \u00e4r efterfr\u00e5gade. Ett samh\u00e4lle d\u00e4r forskare tystnar p\u00e5 grund av att de f\u00f6rf\u00f6ljs, trakasseras eller hotas \u00e4r inte ett samh\u00e4lle som kommer att utvecklas positivt. En \u00f6ppen debatt d\u00e4r det \u00e4r h\u00f6gt i tak \u00e4r en f\u00f6ruts\u00e4ttning f\u00f6r en levande demokrati.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

S\u00e5 l\u00e4nge forskare uttalar sig faktabaserat, utifr\u00e5n sina kunskaper och inte \u00e4gnar sig \u00e5t personliga p\u00e5hopp, kommer jag som rektor f\u00f6r KI alltid att st\u00f6dja och f\u00f6rsvara dem. Det g\u00e4ller oavsett vilken st\u00e4llning man intar i en vetenskaplig diskussion \u2013 oavsett om man t ex st\u00e5r bakom eller \u00e4r kritisk till \u201cden svenska strategin\u201d. I den h\u00e4r kontexten s\u00e4ger jag: Forskare har en skyldighet<\/strong> att g\u00f6ra forskningsresultat k\u00e4nda, \u00e4ven om det strider mot antagen politik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tolererar inte<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Det \u00e4r viktigt att alla vid KI f\u00f6rst\u00e5r och ta till sig det h\u00e4r. Vi tolererar inte att v\u00e5ra medarbetare, forskare eller studenter uts\u00e4tts f\u00f6r trakasserier, hot eller andra kr\u00e4nkningar mot en enskild person eller grupper av personer. Vi tolererar inte heller att medarbetare, forskare eller studenter vid KI uts\u00e4tter andra f\u00f6r detta. Det exempel som vi sett den senaste tiden har lett till att vi alla uppenbarligen m\u00e5ste vara mer uppm\u00e4rksamma och medvetna om det h\u00e4r och att vi tillsammans enas om att vi inte accepterar beteenden som g\u00e5r \u00f6ver gr\u00e4nsen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

KI:s s\u00e4kerhetsenhet \u00e4r beredd att bist\u00e5 med st\u00f6d och r\u00e5dgivning n\u00e4r det g\u00e4ller fr\u00e5gor som r\u00f6r hot eller trakasserier. Som arbetsgivare har vi ocks\u00e5 m\u00f6jlighet att erbjuda annan form av st\u00f6d, t ex via f\u00f6retagsh\u00e4lsov\u00e5rden. F\u00f6r studenter finns Studenth\u00e4lsan<\/a>, men det g\u00e5r naturligtvis ocks\u00e5 bra att ta kontakt med l\u00e4rare eller andra utbildningsansvariga. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Har ett ansvar<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Som universitet, arbetsgivare och utbildningsanordnare har vi ett ansvar f\u00f6r den arbets- och studiemilj\u00f6 v\u00e5ra medarbetare och studenter befinner sig i. Det h\u00e4r ansvaret tar vi p\u00e5 st\u00f6rsta allvar. Jag vill med sk\u00e4rpa uppmana alla p\u00e5 KI som uts\u00e4tts f\u00f6r obehagliga, hotfulla, rasistiska h\u00e4ndelser \u2013 eller annat som strider mot v\u00e5ra v\u00e4rderingar och mot allt sunt f\u00f6rnuft om en respektfull relation till medm\u00e4nniskor \u2013 att omedelbart rapportera det. Tveka aldrig att ta kontakt med sin n\u00e4rmaste chef eller anm\u00e4la det via KI:s incidentrapporteringssystem<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vi kan och ska aldrig acceptera aktiviteter som syftar till att tysta ner, skr\u00e4mma eller hota forskare fr\u00e5n att delta i samh\u00e4llsdebatten. Ytterst \u00e4r det h\u00e4r en fr\u00e5ga om att skapa f\u00f6ruts\u00e4ttningar f\u00f6r att utveckla v\u00e5rt samh\u00e4lle och v\u00e5r demokrati.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personal attacks have no place in an academic debate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the past few days, a \u201cdebate on the debate\u201d has flared up once again as personal attacks, snide comments, threats and harassment have become an all too common feature of the public discourse.  KI researchers, not least, have experienced this to an increasing extent over the past year or so, coupled to their views on the pandemic. I am deeply concerned about this development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New instances were brought to my attention this past weekend. Last Sunday, Svenska Dagbladet<\/a> published a long and thorough report on what KI professor Jonas F Ludvigsson was exposed to after publishing a study in the renowned New England Journal of Medicine<\/em><\/a> in January. Ludvigsson and his team had analyzed the extent to which children became seriously ill, requiring hospital attention, with COVID-19 during the pandemic\u2019s first wave (March to June 2020). This analysis is of particular interest as Sweden, unlike many other countries, kept its primary and secondary schools open. The analysis showed that few children required hospital care due to COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hateful and derisive comments<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

After the paper was published, Jonas F Ludvigsson had to put up with a barrage of hateful and derisive comments, some instances of sheer harassment and a number of messages that can be interpreted as explicit threats. I\u2019m sure you know what happened next. He decided to discontinue his Covid-related research and withdrew from the public debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This led to an outpouring of sympathy and support for Professor Ludvigsson as well as to a much-needed debate on what scientists should have to endure when engaging in the public debate. I take it as a given that people realise that we must be able to discuss, critically review and challenge research findings and conclusions without resorting to personal attacks, half-witted conspiracy theories, or  hateful comments under pseudonyms on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Child vaccination<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The publication of the report in Svenska Dagbladet coincided with a discussion that had suddenly flared up on the vaccination of children and young people, primarily between the ages of 12 and 17. Some researchers at KI expressed their views, as experts, in the media, and were almost immediately met with derisive and hateful posts on social media or in other channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is all too clear that there are people among us that cannot or will not distinguish between critical, respectful discussion and blatant attacks. Anyone who participates in academic, scientific debate must understand that hypotheses, conclusions and results can and should be questioned and criticized by other researchers. It is through active and critical discussion with colleagues that we help gain new knowledge for the benefit of society.  Scientific dialogue is  about mutual respect. It is also about responsibility and transparency. To state the obvious: scientific competence in one field does not automatically entitle a scholar to claim competence or authority in another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No place for harassment or threats<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I have written and been interviewed about debate culture on many occasions, e.g., in the British Medical Journal<\/a>, Dagens Nyheter<\/a> and most recently in Svenska Dagbladet\u2019s Sunday feature. My opinion is clear: researchers must be encouraged to engage in the public debate, where their knowledge, competence and engagement are in demand. Silencing scientists through persecution, harassment or threats is equivalent of pulling the rug from under societal development. \u00a0An open and tolerant debate is the essence of a vibrant democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As long as scientists argue from facts and knowledge and refrain from engaging in personal attacks, I as the president of KI will always support and defend them, no matter what line they take in a scientific debate on, say, the \u201cSwedish strategy\u201d.  I will take this one step further: the competence of our researchers should be seen as a public good, implying that they should see it as a duty to publicise their results and expose their views, even if they run counter to current policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No tolerance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We will not tolerate our colleagues, researchers or students being personally or collectively harassed or threatened, and we will not tolerate our colleagues, researchers or students behaving in such ways to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KI\u2019s security unit is ready to provide support and advice on issues relating to threats or harassment. As an employer, we are also able to provide other forms of support, such as via the occupational and student health services<\/a>; students are also welcome to contact a teacher or other member of the educational staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our responsibility<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As a university we have responsibility for the work and study environments in which our staff and students operate. We take this responsibility very seriously and I strongly urge everyone at KI who has been subjected to unpleasant, intimidating, racist behaviour \u2013 or anything else that runs counter to our core values\u2013 to report it immediately. Do not hesitate to contact your principal or manager or report it on our\u00a0incident reporting system<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We must never turn a blind eye to activities intended to silence, intimidate or threaten researchers that participate in the public debate. Ultimately, this is a question of buttressing the foundations upon which we develop our society and our democracy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
