So much for that party of free speech and transparency. Why do we have such a group of fucktards in charge? Thanks to the bible belt of uneducated, cousin loving, back-country rednect, inbred assholes for all this shit.

What an experiment. Place some of the stupidest people in the US in charge of running the country, having been elected by some of the stupidest people in the world I wonder what would happen !!

So RFK now wants to control government scientists from publishing anything that disagrees with his crazy non-science based beliefs. We will all die with a worm in our brain and long term covid in our bodies.

It seems there are no limits to his stupidity and corruption. His unearned power is intoxicating. Shouldn’t he be focused on more important things, like US health, rather than petty retaliation for journals that didn’t bow to his threats over what words to use and what topics to cover.

Yep, they don’t wanna keep track of the numbers because then they can’t be accused of not reporting them… they don’t want to keep track of actual information because then they can claim ignorance

This publication would then only post reports conforming to Kennedy's preconceived biases and conspiracy theories. IOW it will be published on the backs of cocktail napkins.

If I was a Scientist and wanted to share I would look outside the US - England, Canada, Switzerland...anywhere. The US is not the only place. I have or a while not listened to US news, and other programs. I look to outside sources. The US spreads lies.

One must ask the question: did US Trump voters know that Trump is in process of making the defender of democrcy into a banana republic? They partly probably did and partly not. It looks pretty sad from outside and if Putin is Trupmp's friend, we know what follows.

A threat that has not considered its consequences. Be aware by driving out the scientists this GOP administration is destroying another industry with taxable income. They spend our tax dollars and create a breeding ground for misinformation and Shorter lifespans. Have more babies.

Not that I am going to have one, but I would be very hard pressed to feel right bringing a child into this burning cinder of a planet, and especially this seething Nazi dump of a country. Until we absolutely annihilate the Nazis, I am not counting on much fertility improvement here

RFK Jr. said in a senate hearing that we should not take any medical advice from him. Yet, we are forced to take medical adivce from him. The NIH in the USA can no longer be trusted to provide the most accurate information. We will have to look to the rest of the world to seek advice.

Yes, RFK Jr should start his own in-house publication instead of posting information in respected, worldwide medical journals. Opportunity to spout things like Vaccines are bad. Swimming in sewage contaminated water with your family is good. (he even posted his own pictures about it!)

Ummm, I knew this man was a bit on the crazy side, but that is an understatement. He takes science and twists it into something unrecognizable. And doesn’t see anything wrong with that! He’s the perfect fit for trump, if they loved in outer space!

Honestly I’d recommend everyone start getting their info from Canada or EU equivalents to the CDC and FDA until we can fumigate the agencies for Nazis.

Freedom of speech allows for private citizens, of any field, to publish where and what they want. There isn't a mechanism available for him to STOP private scientist from publishing. Unfortunately, much research is funded with federal funds. He could put strings on the $.

Every given day with this maniacal regime, it’s just one big “O. M. G. Are You F-ing Kidding Me!” They could not be more dangerous! And every last one in his destructive regime is helping him…

Yes. Project 2025 was 900 pages long, spoke about dominion over every facet of American society, both private and governmental, and was written by dozens of assholes. Its lead author, Russ Vought, currently runs the OMB…because he wrote the plan. Same guys that said this is a revolution.

Their words were “this is the second American revolution. It will be bloodless as long as the left allows it to be.” AKA “obey or die” These people are full on Christian supremacists. The enemies are inside the house.

They don't stand up because my cousin Jack Resnick isn't the president of this organization. He was the one leading the charge when Roe was overturned and you saw how differently the AMA responded then. I was so proud of the way he made sure the AMA was actively against all the pre-fascism moves.

So... the output of these journals will be the product of what Trump's politically appointees "deem" to be good science, and, oh, loyalty to the president's policy agendas is at the top of the new job evaluation. Doing your job is at the bottom. Then that pile of crap becomes the basis of new law.

Please understand that millions of Americans did not vote for tRump, not enough of us unfortunately. You are correct, there are currently 'mericans now still supporting him who are BF SO stupid.🤬

No credible journal would even consider publishing his conspiracies and bullshit science. We’re not only a laughing stock to the outside world, we’re fucking evil.

Irresponsible government intervention. Keep the findings to yourself and forget that the foundations of science were brought to you by generations of scientists worldwide.

“On his plans for the agency to create its own journals, Kennedy said they are “going to become the preeminent journals, because it is anointing you as a good, legitimate scientist.” No. It’s identifying you as a wackjob with zero credibility.

He literally thinks that he can just start a propaganda rag and everyone will beg to be in it because being in it will be some kind of status symbol? New England Journal of Medicine is laughing directly at him

Spend more money while really doing not one thing for the American public??? rfk would probably censor any real information those "government scientists" had. He would pollute it with his made up versions of health care. He is not a scientist. He is not a doctor. Only knows the Drug Heroin
