U.S. Government Attacks on Medical Journals

The Scary Implications of U.S. Government Attacks on Medical Journals

A Trump-aligned prosecutor's attack on medical journals is a threat to
your health care--and the medical establishment should not comply

In April, I decided to make public a leaked letter from the acting
U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia to the editor-in-chief of
CHEST, a leading pulmonology and critical care journal. I did so
because the letter represents an authoritarian threat to science, and
I knew it wasn't an isolated, bizarre incident. It is a warning sign,
another move in a broader campaign to exert control over research,
medicine and media.

Since this was published yesterday, NPR reports JAMA joins NEJM on the
list of journals that confirms they've been sent threatening letters
by Trump's DOJ, ominously referencing their tax-exempt status in a bid
to compel regime-friendly editorial choices.
