This isn't a journal, it's a bastard offspring of a blog and a publish-review-curate preprint server. Let me explain.

*There is no open submission.* It is a private system with guaranteed publication access, and a small group of 21 people who are 'members'. No member, no submission.

That's a blog!
There's "being wrong in early in a pandemic" wrong and then there's "doubling down over and over again until you find yourself in bed with RFK Jr. and founding a whole-ass journal to discredit all of academic publishing along with all of medicine" wrong.

You have to wonder at the character of any scientist who would publish in this bizarre grievance politics blog masquerading as a journal.
A right-wing dark money group backed by some big names has launched a new public health “academy” complete with its own medical “journal.”

The editorial board of this new publication is stacked with COVID contrarians and misinformation spreaders.

Starting off this BlueSky adventure by sharing photos that make me happy because I feel that I successfully captured what I saw.
