Incline Village, Nev. (EOC)-- Touting its long history of staying out of politics, the magazine has now decided to endorse the challenger in the November, 2020 election. Its reasons are many, its motivation questionable. Certainly, anyone can find fault with a politician, any politician, for ignoring the advice of scientists, it's nothing new. But reading between the lines, another story emerges about a magazine with the title Scientific American. First of all, its direct owner, Springer Nature, is German; second, Springer's executive team boasts 13 professionals and all but one have no scientific background. It is composed of administrators with degrees in business, corporate law, consulting and EuroDisney marketing. Springer is owned by Holtzbrinck Publishing Group of Stuttgart, what might be considered foreign meddling in the US election.
The actual article at the magazine website lists "About the Author(s)" as "The Editors." The first eight paragraphs reject the president's role in controlling the pandemic and his take on other issues of science. The next paragraphs, only five total, offer the challenger's view on the same issues of scientific concern. Why is it that the editors use more space to argue against the president instead of for their endorsement?
The article uses 900 words in its rejection of the current administration's alleged disregard for the scientific community and issues facing it, including the pandemic. That same article offers a stingy 473 words to endorse the challenger. The article cites the names of at least three professionals, including one former administration FDA chief, as part of the group that the challenger is "getting advice on these health issues." It cites some of the president's current team as "physicians who believe in aliens."
In July, 2020, Scientific American published an article titled " ‘Unidentified Aerial Phenomena,’ Better Known as UFOs, Deserve Scientific Investigation," in its Policy and Ethics section under the heading of Opinion, written by Ravi Kopparapu and Jacob Haqq-Misra;
"Why should astronomers, meteorologists, or planetary scientists care about these events? Shouldn’t we just let image analysts, or radar observation experts, handle the problem? All good questions, and rightly so. Why should we care? Because we are scientists."
Those same scientists endorse a candidate who has no track record of what he claims will bring the nation out of the pandemic; whereas the current plan, with all of the meandering around, test kit failures, national stockpile shortages, consumer goods hoarding, ICU bed shortages and a myriad of other conflicting requirements and mandates, has at least some traction. Nowhere is any credit at all given by the alien German magazine with an otherworld executive team that has but one qualified scientist on its staff.
No credit given to the thousands of first line responders toiling in hospitals and labs, following the strict mandates and protocols laid out by HHS and the FDA; no credit to Congress for its emergency economic plans, CARES and HEROES. Nothing.
"Sep 15, 2020 Press Release WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) released a statement today on the four-month anniversary of House passage of the Heroes Act, which contains $755 million owed to the District of Columbia and other measures vital to D.C. The Heroes Act, Democrats' sweeping fifth coronavirus response bill, was passed by the House on May 15, 2020."Norton Pushes for Senate Passage of the Heroes Act, which Provides Equal Funding for D.C.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) released a statement today on the four-month anniversary of House passage of the Heroes Act, which contains $755 million owed to the District of Columbia and other measures vital to D.C. The Heroes Act, Democrats' sweeping fifth coronavirus response bill, was passed by the House on May 15, 2020.
The Scientific American endorsement does little more than politicize what was once a neutral and significant source of information from the community that it represents.
FOOTNOTE:
Hillary Clinton's UFO investigation plans unlikely to achieve liftoff, experts say
Hillary Clinton is entering uncharted territory in this presidential election. If she wins the White House, she would become the first female president, the first spouse of a former president to hold the office herself, and, possibly, the first president to have devoted time on the campaign trail to discussing UFOs.
