Another medical and science publication is going far left. The New England Journal of Medicine on Thursday endorsed Joe Biden, calling for the incumbent to be voted out of office because he and his administration have "failed at every step” when responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.According to an article posted by Lydia O’Connor, a reporter for the liberal HuffPost website, the “rare political statement from a scientific journal” was the first such recommendation in the publication’s 208-year history.Quoting information from the journal’s editorial, O’Connor declared: “November’s election will have life-or-death consequences

Well, there goes a long history of quality medical journalism down the trash chute.
We all put up with the 8 year reign of Emperor Obama the First. It's your turn now.

Agree that the election Nov 3 will have serious consequences, namely the destruction of America as founded if Harris-Biden are elected.

Another "Get woke, go broke" moment. This is the end of the New England Journal of Medicine as a legitimate scientific/medical journal. Buh-bye!

I'm not sure they're being prudent using Scientific American and the National Geographic as role models.

As to the NEJM's claim of not being a "political journal," what about all the "absolute junk science" articles they published on guns and gun control? Hmm. DO you want to talk about those, NEJM? I thought not.

And what are their qualifications for making this judgement? I have witnessed six months of daily briefings from Scientific Advisors Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx, among others. How does this display incompetence?
Where is the evidence that Trump ignored science? NEJM once had a job: serve a a source for the best research reports in medicine. Apparently that is no longer their job; their job is to run the Country.
When were they elected? What is their campaign platform? How do they fit into the Constitutional Republic in which we reside?
And what are the scientific credentials of Biden and Harris? What scientific degrees do they have, from what institutions?

Aren't these the same people who approve of gender-reassignment surgery?

I am almost wordless by this article it is so outrageous. I could not find a direct endorsement of Biden on The New England Journal of Medicine website. I did find an editorial that says the U.S. LEADERSHIP failed and should be voted out. Further the editorial did attack the administration for failure and politicization of federal agencies. The editorial goes on to elevate chinas response over ours based on apparently chinas data and there totalitarian response and the liberty afforded the US in our constitution. So The New England Journal of Medicine is ideological and political now if not. They fail to recognize that regardless of the chinese deaths in china from this virus all the deaths globally r there fault and r in the millions and china has killed many in other ways by their ideology.
The New England Journal of Medicine crossed the line here. If the The New England Journal of Medicine receives any taxpayer funds the should stop immediately and true scientists and doctors should blast them publicly for abandoning science for politics and no longer submit papers and studies especially publicly funded studies.

They are politicians, not physicians. Same as the AMA

I am so disgusted with the medical community that I will refuse all of their recommendations hence forth!
We are on our own folks. If your doctor cannot think his way out of a paper bag without asking permission from the CDC, you need to take the reins. I found a way to get HCQ from an out of state source, since I live under the rule of a democrat governor during covid.

Hmmm. He followed the left and the scientists fair haired boy and lady to the letter. They set the plans, we followed.
And yet....NOW, some docs on the left say Trump got it all wrong. Some on the right say it was good, but time to set everyone free.
Just politics, no science on the left at all.

Not interested in virtue signaling knobs with superiority complexes in white coats lecturing me on how to think.
I nearly DIED from an under treated cold that turned into pneumonia last year. Never good in an asthmatic. Too busy rushing around pretending to be starring in a medical drama and lecturing one and all about needing useless medications and useless test to rack up $$$ for the medical industry.
I lost a ton of respect for doctors last year. Stick to your profession and shut your mouths.

NEJM lost me when they were “all in” for the Affordable Care Act. Editorials every single week. Pure political advocacy.
Pediatrics is even worse. By my last observation, that journal is 1/4 science, 1/4 politics, and 1/2 politics disguised as science (ex: studies designed to result in a preferred outcome).
I’ve completely lost confidence in the medical literature. Fortunately most textbooks are still valid.

I guess they are so inept that they can’t diagnose dementia and Alzheimer’s in Biden. I have a question for them - what has Biden done about CV19 other than hide for 6 months?

My wife got H1N1 (swine flu) under Obama/Biden. She was deathly ill for eight months as it developed into pneumonia and pleurisy and left scar tissue on her lungs that just recently, years later, flared up and put her in the emergency room. But she wasn't even correctly diagnosed for months because even though she caught it during the SECOND wave, they still weren't routinely testing patients for it.
So when I hear Biden or any of his idiot suck-ups tell me how much better a job he would do than Trump in dealing with a pandemic, I want to find out how well they would deal with my fist crashing into their teeth.

# 20 my heartfelt sympathy to your wife. I was sick for 7 long months last year.
A complete disgrace that it should happen to someone who is intelligent and takes care of themselves, has a good health care plan and a specialist. I have 0 respect for the medical profession at this point.
But wow they will pump you full of cholesterol medicine and a bunch of butt checks in THE BLINK OF AN EYE!
They need to reassess themselves as a profession and STAY OUT if politics.

I actually published in the NEJM back in the good old days.
Back then, they would feature a Grand Rounds clinical presentation of a complex medical case, with commentary about the case by medical students! Those students were legendary (never wrong).
Several years ago, the articles became less about the science of medicine, and more about the structure of medical health care, coincident with the push for universal health care provisions from the Government.
The NEJM ain't what she used to be....

The first clue this that is a leftist publication are the words New England. If this COVID-19 pandemic has proved one thing it is that our so-called medical experts don't really know what the hell they're talking about. A prime example is Dr. Fauci who at first said nothing to worry about, and masks really don't work. I rest my case.
