|| Science and US presidential Elections ||
As the US hurtles towards a presidential election amid the coronavirus crisis, a slew of editorials by top scientific journals and magazines have taken a stand against Donald Trump, faulting his response to the pandemic and asking voters to end attacks on science.
Members of the scientific community have repeatedly asserted that science is political. It is also not uncommon for journals or scientific magazines to endorse a candidate in the US presidential elections. However, this is perhaps the first time in history that such a large number of journals and magazines have taken a similar stance against the incumbent.
The editorials all say, with different words, that Trump ignored evidence and science in his response to the COVID-19 crisis, that he attacked and undermined many valuable institutions, including science agencies and described his administration as isolationist and anti-scientific.
Earlier this month, The Lancet Oncology journal endorsed Biden. In an editorial entitled Will cancer care be a winner in the US election?, it said Trump has repeatedly politicised, undermined, and slashed funding to US federal scientific and health agencies. The journal then contrasted this with Bidens record: the Democratic candidate has pledged to protect the Affordable Care Act (a.k.a. Obamacare), expand Medicaid coverage, lower the age of Medicare enrolment to 60 years and reduce prescription drug prices.
In this major election battle, The Lancet Oncology supports Biden and his manifesto. He is the only candidate to see the importance of health care as a human right that enhances society, rather than another business opportunity to enrich a small minority. If Biden is elected President, we call on him to redouble his dedication to cancer research and care by fulfilling the Biden Cancer Initiative promises.
In September, the editor of Science, Holden Thorpe, slammed the US president for lying about science and endangering American lives. His op-ed noted that even as Trump was playing down the virus to the American people, he was not confused or inadequately briefed.
