Calling medical journals "corrupt," Kennedy says gov't scientists may be barred from publishing in Lancet, NEJM, etc going forward. #NIH may establish its own journals, he said.
Meanwhile #CDC 's Emerging Infectious Diseases journal is on the budget chopping block. www.statnews.com/2025/05/27/r...

‘Corrupt’ medical journals have to change, RFK Jr. says, or the NIH will publish in-house
The criticism of The Lancet, NEJM and JAMA is not new, but the health secretary may use his position to influence research that journals publish.
