A federal prosecutor has sent letters to at least three medical journals asking questions about their “partisan” positions in scientific debates. No mention of our very own New England Journal of Medicine. But a Massachusetts doctor is ripping mad, saying the inquiry amounts to “blatant political intimidation of our medical journals,” as MedPage Today and the NYT report. … Did we mention the interim U.S. Attorney is a Republican activist whose office has been accused of targeting Trump critics and who has hired the former spokesman for the first Trump administration’s Covid response team before he took a “medical leave after accusing federal scientists of ‘sedition’”?
