NEJM is a high-end non-political Scientific Journal devoted to the topic of Medicine and Medical Research. They are not a partisan organization. Well... Maybe... From The National Pulse:
REVEALED: Anti-Trump New England Journal Of Medicine Is Partnered With A Chinese Communist Publishing House
The medical journal had never involved itself in U.S. presidential elections before, but recently published an op-ed entitled, “Dying in a Leadership Vacuum,” which implored American voters to remove President Trump office.
The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), therefore, shares the same election preference as the Chinese Communist Party: a victory for Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden.
NEJM and the Chinese government, however, have considerably more in common.
CCP RUNNING DOGS
NEJM launched a Chinese publication, app, and website in late 2016.
NEJM also partnered with Shanghai Science and Technology Publishing House, a subsidiary of government-approved Shanghai Century Publishing Co.
Shanghai Science and Technology Publishing House boasts on its mission page how it belongs to “the first batch of “National Excellent Publishing Houses named” by the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Propaganda Department and has received a host of awards from the government.
Furthermore, the group describes itself as “under the guidance of the party and the government’s publishing policies.”
Much more at the site. Science = 0%, Politics = 100% Not surprised.
Sad though. I remember when Scientific American was a relaly good publication - read it regularly growing up. I used to work with Greenpeace (Seattle office) back when they were a science-based organization. They moved to politics and I quit. Politics and Science do not mix. Just because you are brilliant in your field does not mean that you have good judgement in other arenas. Paging Messers Dunning and Kruger. Dr. David Dunning and Dr. Justin Kruger please come to the white courtesy telephone please.
