Censorship in Medical Journals Is Harmful, Also for Patients

With all the controversy surrounding Covid-19 and the flip-flopping on numerous issues, this article written by an actual MD is eye-opening as to why trusting Dr. Fauci, the CDC, and other high-level agencies in the battle against Covid-19 should be questioned. I've noticed many arguments in recent days on various threads that want to argue that we should trust Fauci, CDC, et. al., but if there is problems going on in actual published journals to suppress factual studies, etc., then I believe that the argument should be made moot if there is large amounts of censorship occurring and has been occurring since before the Covid-19 pandemic.

Censorship in Medical Journals Is Harmful, Also for Patients

"It has become increasingly difficult to publish articles in medical journals that are critical of drugs or the drug industry, or that expose fraud and other wrongdoing committed by doctors. It is also difficult to publish articles documenting that the status quo in a medical specialty is harmful for the patients even though such articles should be warmly welcomed. Particularly in psychiatry, it has been amply documented that guild interests are far more important than the patients’ survival and well-being.1,2

For top general medical journals, e.g. Lancet and New England Journal of Medicine, the conflicts of interest are obvious, as the revenue from drugs ads and selling reprints of trial reports constitutes a substantial proportion of their income.

Scientific freedom is under pressure. What we see now is that, more and more, medical scientists are moving away from major for-profit publishing houses and publish their research elsewhere, e.g. for free on open access websites or in journals they establish themselves. This is a good and necessary development."

It's a long and tedious article, but a good read to understand what's been going on within the medical community for quite some time preexisting Covid-19.
