Throughout its 208-year history, The New England Journal of Medicine has remained staunchly nonpartisan. The world’s most prestigious medical journal has never supported or condemned a political candidate.
Until now.
In an editorial signed by 34 editors who are U.S. citizens (one editor is not) and published Wednesday, the journal said the Trump administration had responded so poorly to the coronavirus pandemic that it “have taken a crisis and turned it into a tragedy.”
The journal did not explicitly endorse Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee, but that was the only possible inference, other scientists noted.
The editor-in-chief, Dr. Eric Rubin, said the scathing editorial was one of only four in the journal’s history that were signed by all of the editors. The NEJM’s editors join those of another influential journal, Scientific American, who last month endorsed Biden, the former vice president.
The political leadership has failed Americans in many ways that contrast vividly with responses from leaders in other countries, the NEJM said.
In the United States, the journal said, there was too little testing for the virus, especially early on. There was too little protective equipment, and a lack of national leadership on important measures like mask wearing, social distancing, quarantine and isolation.
There were attempts to politicize and undermine the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the journal noted.
As a result, the United States has had tens of thousands of “excess” deaths — those caused both directly and indirectly by the pandemic — as well as immense economic pain and an increase in social inequality as the virus hit disadvantaged communities hardest.

Big shocker.
so its the NWO New England Journal of Medicine
How communist editors Venezuela-ed a science mag into a rag.
What a load of crap. Another publication full of what Reagan called “point-headed intellectuals” who think they are superior to everyone else. And from liberal self-absorbed Boston, no less.
With Twatter and social media everybody is becoming nonpartisan these days. Even mcdonalds and disney. Its nothing unique or special because of Trump, they’d eventually whine about some conservative.
So sayeth the clowns who put healthy people with the sniffles on ventilators and destroyed their lungs for the $52,000 bonus.
I hate to tell you but, the same people have not been on the Editorial Board for 208 years. The board is now comprised of Political Partisan Hacks.
"Ensuring Uptake of Vaccines against SARS-CoV-2":
https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2020926
quotes from NEJM:
Concerningly, a recent poll found that only 49% of Americans planned to get vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2.1
One option for increasing vaccine uptake is to require it. Mandatory vaccination has proven effective in ensuring high childhood immunization rates in many high-income countries.
We offer a framework that states can apply now to help ensure uptake of the vaccine when it becomes available — including consideration of when a mandate might become appropriate.
Because the constitutional power to protect public health rests primarily with states, each state will need to adopt its own legislation. Proposed legislation should be supported by attestations from the state health officer, the ACIP, or another expert committee [in other words, fake state-approved medical "experts"] that all trigger criteria have been met.
Although state vaccination mandates are usually tied to school and day care entry, that approach is not appropriate for SARS-CoV-2 because children won’t be a high-priority group.
noncompliance should incur a penalty. Nevertheless, because of the infectiousness and dangerousness of the virus, relatively substantive penalties could be justified, including employment suspension [illegal to work] or stay-at-home [house arrest] orders for persons in designated high-priority groups who refuse vaccination.
Tragedy?
The numbers don’t back that up.
Even with ny governor cuomo murdering people.
Your omitted “/s,” understood. No surprise there. NYT writes pure, unadulterated BS.
NEJof Medicine feeding the times its own crap.
RE: Tragedy? The numbers don’t back that up.
OK, over 200,000 dead isn’t a tragedy? What is it then?
Well, they went woked.
Guess what comes next...
Fauci, what say you?
They are hoax participants. At this point, the best outcome from this thing is a split. I certainly don’t want to be in a country with these people.
We don’t know the real numbers due to “car accident? Covid!”
How solid is that 200k?
They played around, fudge factored a LOT.
Crisis, yeah.
Bunch of horse manure from medical academic losers.
Waiting on the joint statement on DUI and the lack of steps to stop this nonsense.
Hmmm, first Lancet sacrificed it’s reputation, and now the NJM.
The short version of this story is medicine and these (bureaucratic) doctors have been weaponized by Marxism.
Sad but not unexpected. Marxism is an insidious disease affecting millions of people today. Far worse than any virus currently in existence.
A mental disease with no known cure other than of course; a lobotomy.
