NEJM is as politicized as it can get. Takes positions on things like abortion and gun control.

Just awful.

It calls into question the very basis of what that journal is supposed to stand for, namely the unbiased investigation of medical diseases, protocols and therapies with the goal of improving healthcare for everyone regardless of race, creed, etc.

I don’t ask patients who they vote for before treating them. The NEJM has no business taking official stances on individual parties or candidates. Medical research can’t be allowed to mired in widespread allegations of political bias, because the research published in their journal is one of the major sources used in medical guideline development.

I think they have an eye toward history and want to make sure that they're not among the Scott Atlases when this is remembered.

I guess the medical professionals who influenced them and dictated response measures aren’t responsible for any of this

Fauci, March 8: “There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask. When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And, often, there are unintended consequences — people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.“

Jeffrey Drazen is the Group editor.
He’s a Democrat and has only ever donated money to Democrats.

Can you imagine the response from the left if Trump shut down all International travel on 1/31?

They would have called him a racist xenophobe. Same as they did when he shut down travel from China

One of the editors. I’ve no doubt most of these people have some oddities.

So we know who they don't want elected, but what are they advocating for re: the flu? What were they advocating for six months ago? Serious question - anybody know?

Here is their "Contact Us" page.

Let them know you're unhappy that they've delved into politics. Hopefully, it'll make them re-evaluate their future choices.

It's a stunningly poor decision that further diminishes their idea of spreading knowledge since people are becoming inherently distrustful of opposing political organizations (which they'll be perceived as), and could lead to less people believing in what they publish.

Even worse, medical research is now being mired in allegations of racial bias.

You wouldn't believe the kind of studies that are being selected to receive federal grant money...simply because of the skin color of the researchers conducting the study.

It's all about "diversity" after all. It doesn't matter how relevant or well constructed your study design may be - if you don't have the right skin color, you're going to get passed over.

I promise you it's happening.

No. Not, it is NOT. REAL Americans who are educated and like fundamental American Values laugh at this as yet another DESPERATE attempt by Prog Filth Leftists to shite in their hands and fling every piece of shite they can generate because despite all of the fake news, they KNOW they are losing this election.

It might be "fairly significant" in the Coastal bastions of leftist cockroach infestation and the bubbles of leftists who sniff each others farts for self affirmation and reassurance of their fake narrative. It isn't even a fart in a tornado amongst most rational Americans.

That’s so disingenuous. If Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, or even Black Jesus himself were president right now there may be a little less deaths, there may be a little more, or it would be about the same.

Nobody realistically knows or could know. This is purely arm chair, Monday morning quarterbacking.

The ONLY thing that would be different is the media would be praising them for it not being 2.2 million deaths.

Not only not trusted, but distrusted.

Time to take a hard look at the sources of their funding.
