With Endorsement Of Kamala Harris, Scientific American Magazine Injects Politics & Bias Into Science w/ Dr. Marty Makary & Dr. Brian Hooker – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 404

Ask Dr. Drew

“We must protect science from politics!” science journalists shouted from 2017 to 2021. Then yesterday, the editors of Scientific American – the oldest ‘continuously published magazine’ in the USA, with contributors including Albert Einstein and Nikola Tesla – endorsed their second presidential candidate in the publication’s 179-year history: Kamala Harris.

Their first endorsement? Joe Biden in 2020.

The publication had only a few positive words about the previous administration and “Operation Warp Speed, which developed effective COVID vaccines extremely quickly.” Should science publications stay out of politics – and how can scientists rebuild their credibility as nonpartisan, unbiased truth seekers?
