Verschillende gerenommeerde wetenschappelijke publicaties hebben editorials geplaatst over hoe Trump het verneukt, loopt te liegen, en andere onwetenschappelijke onzin kraamt. Zeer ongekend, want die bladen posten nooit politieke editorials.
The Lancet - Reviving the US CDC
https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0140673620311405The Trump administration's further erosion of the CDC will harm global cooperation in science and public health, as it is trying to do by defunding WHO. A strong CDC is needed to respond to public health threats, both domestic and international, and to help prevent the next inevitable pandemic. Americans must put a president in the White House come January, 2021, who will understand that public health should not be guided by partisan politics.
The Lancet - Trump versus Biden: a fight for the health of a nation
https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0140673620317864If logic and justice prevail in the next presidential administration, universal health coverage, a fairer society, stronger health institutions, more energetic global engagement, and a robust research agenda will be the foundations for America's renewal.
Science - Trump lied about science
https://science.sciencemag.org/content/369/6510/1409Trump was not clueless, and he was not ignoring the briefings. Listen to his own words. Trump lied, plain and simple.
Science - Not throwing away our shot
https://science.sciencemag.org/content/370/6514/266Over the past few weeks, prominent scientific publications have condemned President Donald Trump's record on science. This is unprecedented. Readers who don't think Science and its publishing peers should write about politics often tell us to “stick to science.” We are sticking to science, but more importantly, we're sticking up for science.
Scientific American - Scientific American Endorses Joe Biden
https://www.scientificame(...)endorses-joe-biden1/Scientific American has never endorsed a presidential candidate in its 175-year history. This year we are compelled to do so. We do not do this lightly. It's time to move Trump out and elect Biden, who has a record of following the data and being guided by science.
New England Journal of Medicine - Dying in a Leadership Vacuum
https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMe2029812Anyone else who recklessly squandered lives and money in this way would be suffering legal consequences. Our leaders have largely claimed immunity for their actions. But this election gives us the power to render judgment. Reasonable people will certainly disagree about the many political positions taken by candidates. But truth is neither liberal nor conservative. When it comes to the response to the largest public health crisis of our time, our current political leaders have demonstrated that they are dangerously incompetent. We should not abet them and enable the deaths of thousands more Americans by allowing them to keep their jobs.
Nature - Why Nature supports Joe Biden for US president
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02852-xNo US president in recent history has so relentlessly attacked and undermined so many valuable institutions, from science agencies to the media, the courts, the Department of Justice — and even the electoral system. Despite having vast scientific and monetary resources at his disposal, Trump failed catastrophically when it mattered most. This undermining of research advice has been accompanied by the systematic dismantling of scientific capacity in regulatory science agencies. We cannot stand by and let science be undermined. Joe Biden’s
trust in truth, evidence, science and democracy make him the only choice in the US election.
En de kranten die er over berichten:
https://www.washingtonpos(...)oronavirus-response/https://www.washingtonpos(...)l-endorsement-trump/https://www.nytimes.com/2(...)d-journal-trump.htmlhttps://www.nbcnews.com/s(...)inistration-n1243552En nu maar hopen dat dit een hoop 'undecided' over de blauwe streep gaat trekken. Ik heb iig geen enkele hoop dat enige Trump-aanhangers dit serieus gaan nemen en hierdoor hun mening bijstellen. Die zullen gewoon de al decennia lang meest gerenommeerde wetenschappelijke publicaties ter wereld, fake media gaan noemen.
