Abstract In the era of the pandemic, political populism continued to be alive. From farming to today it has changed many forms. However, populism in the era of the pandemic was wrapped in the garb of scientific discourse to appeal to the cautious and fearful while it was adopted by the anti-vaccination movement worldwide at a time when collective trust seems to be in crisis. Trust in the institutions and by extension also in the Health Systems from the first reports of deaths from the new corona virus seemed to have been shaken in various countries. The expression of populism during the pandemic was expressed through social media and was adopted by both politicians and scientists, taking the form of scientific or medical populism (medical populism). In this paper, the method of systematic review was followed by searching for the research terms already described in the title of the paper in databases of the medical community such as Pubmed but also in bases of Political Science (ISI, SAGE) in order to correlate populism with the anti-vaccination movement and the levels of collective trust. In particular, the following quality criteria were taken into account: 1) Methodology and description, 2) impact assessment and 3) dissemination of information. The bibliographic citations of the eligible articles were tracked, while for the sake of avoiding bias the restrictive framework of the publications was avoided, articles without full text and others that were not in the English or Greek language were excluded. From the research, 406 articles were identified in the PubMed database, of which 30 were deemed eligible based on compatibility and relevance criteria, while the final selection of the articles that was selected and shown in the relevant diagram in the Appendix (table 2) was made in terms of recognition, during which 60 articles were removed , then during the screening, 220 were removed due to language, titles and abstract, followed by the exclusion of another 126 articles in terms of content, while finally 30 studies were included, of which 24 were from PubMed and 6 from bibliographic references. From the search of scientific articles, no original research on the correlation of the above was found, but the synthesis of results from research in the fields of Medicine and Political Science document the relationship of the effect of populism on the anti-vaccination movement in combination with the trust that each population showed in the institutions. At the same time, it appears that the pseudo-scientific discourse and the populist discourse expressed by political figures worldwide found fertile ground and spread through social networking platforms. An important finding from two studies used in this systematic review is that people who were more receptive to populist discourse and refusal to comply with government social distancing measures and vaccination had at least one childhood trauma of abuse as a psychological background. Those who supported more conspiracy theories and opposed vaccinations had strange socio-religious beliefs but their attitudes were also related to political ideological characteristics such as Republicans versus Democrats who were more disciplined in the US. Other factors such as gender, race, and psychological symptoms of stress, depression, and anxiety were found to be associated with population groups during the pandemic with the degree of safety they felt either through vaccination or simply believing in a conspiracy theory about the new coronavirus. In conclusion, one would say that the relationship between populism and the anti-vaccination movement is outlined and documented by the present, but it would be useful to research it in the future, while at the same time the relationship of the above with collective trust seems to be inseparable since those more receptive to the populist discourse appear to be "deniers" with a low degree of trust in information from official state institutions to deal with the pandemic.
