RFK Jr.’s health department calls Nature “junk science,” cancels subscriptions
-
but I know that there is at least one where the odds of a letter to Nature being accurate a few years later is about 50%.
...
you know, there is a difference between "getting published in Nature" and "submitting your work to Nature". It's subtle, perhaps: one involves being published in the journal. For the world to see and scrutinize.
I bet they get lots of letters that they do, indeed, find aren't well substantiated enough to publish.
Also, one field. Lmao.
Also, please tell me why you made your first comment, I'm genuinely curious. Did you read about this somewhere? Where, if you recall?
I think we found RFKs lemmy account

its called pseudoscience=alternative science, naturopathy, homeopathy. he regularly consumes methylene blue.
There is legitimate research on the effects of ingesting methylene blue. Don’t confuse that with pseudoscience. There’s probably plenty of pseudoscience around it, but it’s not (at its core) naturopathy/homeopathy/voodoo.

Well at least we know which publication refused to capitulate to morons.
I wonder which ones they kept.

Did they just hear the term junk science and went "no u"?
That's EXACTLY what they did, yeah. Just like when they appropriated "fake news" which was originally a term describing their own disinformation.
That's not new though, Stalin and Hitler both played the fake news game.

yes there is, but rfk jr consumes it in his drinks, he thinks that is valid enough.

This administration is so fucking frustrating, but it seems they want to remove any meaning of that word, the same way they always do.

I'm not as concerned with this as I am with the fascism, because this will at least kill us indiscriminately

It's pretty much the definition of the "grand conspiracy theory". It requires the combined effort of thousands of people across hundreds of countries. It's insanity.
Very much like a Protocols of the Elders of Zion theme, but with educated scientists rather than jews
