Scientific American has never endorsed a presidential candidate in its 175-year history. This year we are compelled to do so. We do not do this lightly.
The evidence and the science show that Donald Trump has badly damaged the U.S. and its people—because he rejects evidence and science. The most devastating example is his dishonest and inept response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which cost more than 190,000 Americans their lives by the middle of September. He has also attacked environmental protections, medical care, and the researchers and public science agencies that help this country prepare for its greatest challenges. That is why we urge you to vote for Joe Biden, who is offering fact-based plans to protect our health, our economy and the environment. These and other proposals he has put forth can set the country back on course for a safer, more prosperous and more equitable future.
It's said that they don't realize how dangerous this move is
ReplyDelete1) It is crucial that scientists be seen publicly to be non-partisan. This is necessary to ensure they are trusted. Everyone knows that most scientists are liberal but to take an official position puts them into a biased position and biased is poison to science.
2) If Trump wins, he will take revenge and the damage will be horrendous. This is a horrible gamble.
You mean if reelected he might not trust scientists and science?!!
ReplyDeleteNo, if re-elected he might slash the NIH budget, defund all government science projects, wage funding wars on science departments in university, and divert necessary government money to for-profit private drug companies.
