The Journal Cartel Is Crumbling — RFK Jr. Just Declared War On Corrupt Medical Science

On the Ultimate Human Podcast, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said: “We’re probably going to stop publishing in the Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, and those other journals because they’re all corrupt.”

His claim isn’t baseless.

Former editors of these journals have said the same.

Dr. Marcia Angell, who served as Editor-in-Chief of the New England Journal of Medicine for over 20 years, wrote:

“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published… We are a vessel for pharmaceutical propaganda.”

Dr. Richard Horton, editor-in-chief of The Lancet, said:

“Much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue… Science has taken a turn towards darkness.”

RFK Jr. laid out a clear response:

• NIH scientists will stop publishing in these journals unless reforms are made.
  
  
• 20% of NIH funding will go to replication studies to verify published findings.
  
  
• Peer review will be made transparent and publicly accessible.
  
  
• New independent journals will be created inside NIH institutes.
  
  

This isn’t theory—it’s a direct reaction to patterns of suppression and bias in major publications.

One example: the McCullough Foundation’s study, “A Systematic Review Of Autopsy Findings In Deaths After COVID-19 Vaccination”, was peer-reviewed and accepted by Elsevier before being pulled without explanation. It had just become the #1 trending paper globally across all research disciplines.

Censorship like this isn’t isolated.

Now the U.S. Department of Justice has opened a formal investigation into top medical journals, one which aims to uncover evidence of bias, data suppression, and manipulation tied to pharmaceutical interests during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The problem is systemic: financial conflicts of interest, selective publishing, and suppression of dissenting research have compromised the integrity of medical science, of ALL science.

Kennedy: unless the system changes, the government should no longer support or legitimize compromised journals.
