Kennedy, who has long promoted misinformation about vaccines and is pushing to overhaul federal public health policy, launched his latest broadside against the scientific community in a podcast Tuesday, singling out a number of prestigious medical research journals.
“So unless these journals change dramatically, we are going to stop NIH scientists from publishing there, and we're going to create our own journals,“ Kennedy said, referring to the National Institutes of Health, a huge federal research agency.
Dating back to the 19th century, The Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine and JAMA play a key role in medical and biomedical research.
But Kennedy argued that these publications are not reliable because, he said, they are controlled by big pharmaceutical companies.
Kennedy highlighted in particular allegations by Marcia Angell, a former senior figure at the New England Journal of Medicine.
Kennedy has also accused several health agencies under his watch of being at the service of pharmaceutical companies.
He has undertaken a major overhaul of his department to fight what he calls rampant bureaucracy and restore public trust in health care authorities.
