Health advocates criticized Kennedy’s move demanding answers from journal that removed ‘flawed’ vaccine study
Robert F Kennedy Jr, the US health secretary, is demanding answers from a medical journal that recently removed a paper suggesting a link between vaccines and infant death, saying their decision was “of great interest to me”.
Public health advocates immediately criticized the move, and said Kennedy appeared to be trying to intimidate and influence the journal’s editorial process. The journal Toxicology Reports had removed the paper this spring after editors determined it was so seriously flawed it could harm patients and pose a risk to public health.
The letter, which Kennedy on Monday posted on X, asked the journal editor to answer several questions about how it arrived at its decision about the paper, which suggested a link between vaccines and sudden infant death syndrome, or Sids, by 25 June. Among his questions, Kennedy asked the journal to identify the experts who conducted the investigation into the paper.
Worm.
Sids rates were dropping as vaccination rates increased so I guess they had to get really froggy to make their study work.
It’s always “under fire” and never “on fire.” 😤
Is it just me or does his face look kirkier by the day?
Let’s hope the trend meets its conclusion
Wikileaks: neck edition
Journal of Toxicology Reports has an impact factor of 1.9, which is terrible. That’s how it got published in the first place.
Nature Medicine impact factor is 52.
The only appropriate answer from the journal is “Go fuck yourself.”
