The New England Journal of Medicine, one of the world’s most prestigious peer-reviewed medical journals with roots stretching back to 1811, broke a 209-year tradition of staying out of politics, is calling “for Americans to vote out leaders who have not done enough to address the pandemic,” NBC News reported on Wednesday, October 7, 2020 (read story here).
Thirty-five of the publication’s editors signed an editorial that said,
“The response of our nation’s leaders has been consistently inadequate. The federal government has largely abandoned disease control to the states … 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.”

Last month, Scientific American endorsed a presidential candidate for the first time in its 175-year history.
They mean trump and all science/climate change denying republicans?
Yes.
America and the world deserves a change from this fiasco of a presidency.
