For over 4 years now I’ve wondered why the science and medical journals are simply chock full of covid contrarian, risk minimizing, anti-mask, and bullshit learning loss propaganda. Also stuff pushing dubious treatments and anti-vax assertions that are often retracted. This while there are many legitimate pro-vax pro-mask and pro-mitigation of disease with lots of scientific and public health expertise who are not getting published, or who don’t even try.
If someone can explain that to me I’d be interested. I have some of theories, but what do I know?
