As A "Reliable Information Vacuum" Has Been Created By RFK Jr., At HHS... Both The NEJM, And CIDRAP Are Moving To Fill The Void, On A Privately-Sourced Basis.

With the ongoing lunacy (about vaccines and other matters), out of "official" US governmental agency sources continuing unabated (until at least 2028), the real scientists in the US are collaborating, on their own -- to keep the public informed -- with science backed by peer reviewed evidence, from sensible outlets. Today that effort will be led by the New England Journal of Medicine, in cooperation with the University of Minnesota's CIDRAP.

It is surreal that it has come to this in the richest, most over-privileged nation on Earth -- but here we are. And here is the latest, from CIDRAP [while the concluding part of the pull quote below is from the NEJM]:

. . .The new collaboration between NEJM Evidence and CIDRAP fills a gap in reliable data, offering expert-reviewed reports that translate frontline observations into actionable public health evidence. An NEJM Evidence editorial today explains the initiative further.

“Access to emerging public health data saves lives,” said infectious disease doctor Eric J. Rubin, MD, Editor-in-Chief of the New England Journal of Medicine and NEJM Group, publisher of NEJM Evidence, in a news release. “By providing this new, rigorous pathway for public health information, NEJM Group is delivering on its commitment to equip physicians with reliable information to support evidence-based care.”

“Rapid, credible communication has always been essential to an effective public health response,” added CIDRAP Director Michael Osterholm, PhD, MPH. “With this new collaboration, we hope to restore and strengthen that early-warning function, providing timely, evidence-based alerts that can help local and state health leaders act quickly to protect the health of people in their communities. . . .”

[And from the NEJM-affiliate:]. . .Published in collaboration with the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) at the University of Minnesota, Public Health Alerts are brief reports that inform public health officials, clinicians, policymakers, and the public of important and emerging health issues. Freely available, these reports are published on a rapid review track in support of efforts to make timely decisions for the medical community and public health. . . .

Now you know -- with a fun evening ahead with grand-nieces -- then jets, tomorrow. Grin.
