Leading medical journals care more about DEI than they do about you.
We began by conducting a keyword search of every article published in the JAMA Network — a group of 13 medical journals affiliated with the American Medical Association — between April 1 and May 31. The phrase “diversity, equity, and inclusion” appeared 56 times, more often than atherosclerosis (45) and osteoporosis (16). Another progressive-coded term, “inequity,” showed up 99 times — more than asthma (75) or opioid use disorder (65).
But…but…but…
Our neighbourhood rodent assures us that if it’s a peer-reviewed article, it’s above reproach. Deus ex machina!
You beat me.
Peer review is only a positive if the peers doing the reviewing are honest and competent. That depends on who gets chosen to be a reviewer.
Guess who does the choosing? Yeah, the journal. So they choose guys who go along to get along. If you’re not excited about DEI, then you do not get a seat. If you’re not on the gravy train already, they don’t ask you.
Corruption oozes from JAMA and has for many, many years.
“Peer review” is a fraud….it should be called “Pal review”.
Well Kate that title may be YOUR shame … but try ‘white, male, who still has his original man bits’
White, with original genitals? Yes, that’s my order of toast!
