RFK Jr. is tremendous mad he cannot make different nations sabotage science

Like all richie-rich sorts who had been born on third base however suppose they hit a triple, Well being and Human Providers Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is satisfied not solely that he obtained his present gig on advantage but additionally that he’s a real medical skilled, regardless of no coaching in any respect. Solely somebody with that stage of hubris might demand {that a} main medical journal retract a examine as a result of he doesn’t like the end result. 

Earlier this month, Kennedy known as on the Annals of Inner Medication to retract its publication of a large-scale Danish vaccine examine. Kennedy is sad that the examine discovered no hyperlink between aluminum in vaccines and elevated well being dangers in youngsters. In fact Kennedy is sad. That conspiracy concept is on the coronary heart of his long-running anti-vaccine campaign. 


The Division of Well being and Human Providers pulled $500 million in funding for growth of mRNA vaccines like these created to struggle COVID-19 by Pfizer and Moderna.

By no means thoughts that the Danish examine examined 20 years’ price of information on 1.2 million youngsters to conclude there isn’t a proof that aluminum in vaccines causes autoimmune, allergic, or neurodevelopmental problems in youngsters. However Kennedy’s vibes say that’s flawed, so he penned a screed at TrialSite about how very flawed the examine was. Kennedy performed the hits, alleging that the “pharma-funded mainstream media” credulously reported the examine conclusions and that the examine itself was “a propaganda stunt by the pharmaceutical industry.” He claims the examine can be dangerous as a result of the Danish authorities owns a vaccine firm and since there was no management group of unvaccinated youngsters. 

The response from the medical journal was a well mannered, however particular “lol, nope.” The editor-in-chief of the Annals stated she noticed no cause to retract the examine. The examine’s lead writer wrote a put up at TrialSite addressing Kennedy’s critiques and declaring issues which can be painfully apparent to precise scientists. For instance, there was no management group as a result of solely 2% of Danish youngsters are unvaccinated, which is simply too small to behave as a management group. 

The conventional plan of action when difficult a examine design is to begin by writing a letter to the editor of the publication the place the examine appeared. These letters embody scientific proof and citations. However Kennedy didn’t go that route, as an alternative operating to the security of TrialSite. As a result of whereas TrialSite tries to seem like an precise science publication, it’s nothing greater than a pseudoscience haven pushing vaccine conspiracies and routinely showering reward on Kennedy for his anti-science efforts, resembling terminating mRNA vaccine analysis. If Kennedy wasn’t the top of HHS, this might be nothing greater than an “old man yells at clouds” kind of factor, however since he’s, everybody has to fake to take him severely.

Kennedy’s outdated anti-vax buddies at Youngsters’s Well being Protection are additionally mad in regards to the examine. These persons are additionally simply cranks yelling at clouds, however one among their very own is now head of the HHS. Kennedy additionally put in former CHD colleagues on the Facilities for Illness Management and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices as an alternative of precise scientists.

In contrast to in the US public well being sector, Kennedy has no actual leverage right here. The Danish authorities funded the examine, and the lead writer is a Danish epidemiologist. Kennedy can’t threaten their funding as a result of we didn’t fund it. He can’t threaten the institute the place the writer is employed, as a result of it’s in Denmark. All the standard strategies the administration makes use of to assault science simply aren’t out there on this scenario. 

Cartoon by Clay Bennett

The administration merely can not stand that it may well’t exert authority over scientific journals, regardless of their finest and stupidest efforts. Again when Donald Trump crony Ed Martin was the Interim U.S. Legal professional for Washington, D.C., he wrote a threatening letter to a chest illness journal in Illinois, alleging that one way or the other they had been committing fraud by being paid off by their advertisers to advertise scientific positions. 

Martin additionally despatched combative letters to the New England Journal of Medication, JAMA, and Obstetrics & Gynecology. In fact, the U.S. Legal professional for D.C. has no authority over medical journals revealed in different states, however an absence of authority by no means stopped this administration. 

There may be one factor the Trump administration can do to assault scientific journals, however it’s a fairly paltry one. It could possibly terminate all authorities subscriptions, which is exactly what it did final month with Springer Nature. Now, federal workers can not simply entry Nature, the flagship British publication that’s the most-cited scientific analysis journal on the earth, to not point out the opposite 3,000 journals in Springer’s portfolio. Effectively, that’s a method to verify federal workers haven’t any entry to precise science.  

This administration is doing its finest to destroy public well being and undermine science, however sure issues stay untouchable—like research funded by different nations that seem in journals not managed by the U.S. authorities. Maybe Trump will attempt to resolve this by slapping a 1,000% tariff on Denmark. That’ll train ‘em.
