To be clear, this shields any research coming out of the NIH from independent peer review, which gives him total control to spread propaganda and makes any NIH study completely untrustworthy.
After he got caught using hundreds of fake AI studies to back up his bullshit report, RFK says he’s gonna ban NIH scientists from publishing their work in scientific journals.

RFK Jr. says he may bar scientists from publishing in top medical journals
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took aim at reputed journals such as the Lancet and said his agency will create “in-house” publications instead.

Interpretation for the non-scientists: When faculty get NIH grants, the University gets some extra cash to make sure the research is supported. NIH just cut that $$ by a LOT. That means Unis are less likely to support research. Most research in the US is done at Unis, so... it's bad 🧪
