Political opportunism of the far-right threatens the efficacy of public health policies and political stability in general. In this commentary, we outline some of the ways that the European far-right has misused public health concerns as propaganda tools. This is a significant threat to the goals of making health and science more inclusive, and we recommend some policies for mitigating the racist effect of the far-right. Notably, we recommend (a) transparency in health policies and robust implementation of the rule of law, (b) the use of operative public values and human rights in health policy making, and (c) investment in decolonizing mindsets which may be corrosive of health policies.
极右翼的政治机会主义威胁着公共卫生政策的效力以及总体政治稳定。在本评论中，我们概述了欧洲极右翼将公共卫生问题用作宣传工具的一些方式。这对使健康和科学更具包容性的目标构成了重大威胁，我们建议采取一些政策来减轻极右翼的种族主义影响。值得注意的是，我们建议：（a）卫生政策透明化并大力实施法治；（b）在卫生政策制定中运用有效的公共价值观和人权；（c）投资于消除可能侵蚀卫生政策的思维定式。
