    “We were concerned because there were questions that suggested that we may be biased in the research we report,” Rubin says. “We aren’t. We have a very rigorous review process. We use outside experts. We have internal editors who are experts in their fields as well. And we spend a lot of time choosing the right articles to publish and trying to get the message right. We think we’re an antidote for misinformation.”

    Rubin says the letter mentioned that the journal has tax-exempt status.

    “It does feel like there’s a threatening tone to the letter and it is trying to intimidate us,” Rubin says.

    “Awful nice Tax-Excempt Status there, be such a shame if something were to happen to it. Maybe you post a few articles about how trans are bad and this whole thing disappears.”

    So transparent

      We’re already there, have been since at least WW2. The boomer generation had literally everything handed to them on a silver platter, they took it and pulled the ladder up with them.

    It sounds like the Justice Department wants a visit from some deadly illnesses that they can’t control because they are silencing science.
