There is also one more important harm: reputational and trust harms to science.
Research ethics controversies hurt research overall. They decrease trust in ethics review. And in this case decrease redditors' trusts of researchers, likely influencing willingness to participate in consented research.

New — I spoke to the school principal of Sackets Harbor, NY, where ICE handcuffed and disappeared a mother and 3 kids (including a 3rd grader). It’s also the town Trump Border Czar Tom Homan calls home.
Cook tells me about how the small town is taking on enormous power to bring the students home:

And by the way, the more people speak *the harder it is to single one person out*
People think being small will keep them safe.
It won't.
The reason we know who Mahmoud Kahlil is is because he was loud. Do you think he's the only person the administration has tried to disappear? He's just one of the first we've noticed

This kind of bias makes these no-longer-scientific journals until corrected.
"It appears that journals published by the federal government are subject to direct political interference at this time, compromising the principles of peer review and the integrity of all research published therein."

We were asked to change language and delete data from a paper that already been through peer review successfully - "in order to comply with the Executive Order."

"But, let’s be clear. These are not editorial requests aimed at improving our science or clarifying our main arguments. Instead, they seek to obscure from view entire populations of people, such as sexual minorities, who experience tremendous inequities in health." 👏👏👏

The current administration is straight up censoring the scientific record by requiring authors to alter an already-accepted research paper because it uses banned words such as "gender" and "equitable" and presents data broken down by sexual orientation.
