The Trump administration has initiated inquiries into the practices of medical journals, such as CHEST Journal, regarding their representation of competing viewpoints and financial influences. A letter from interim U.S. attorney Edward Martin Jr. demanded clarifications on how journals handle differing perspectives and manage potential conflicts of interest. The correspondence raises concerns about journal independence and integrity, drawing reactions from medical professionals who feel it poses a threat to scientific freedom and objectivity.
It has been brought to my attention that more and more journals and publications like CHEST Journal are conceding that they are partisans in various scientific debates.
Martin's letter should send a chill down the spine of scientists and physicians, as it exemplifies the Trump administration's effort to control the narrative.
