Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Health and Human Services Secretary (and Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer), recently attacked American medical research, saying that institutional medical journals are “corrupt.” He even threatened to bar government scientists from publishing in several leading journals, which he says are improperly influenced by pharmaceutical companies, and instead proposed creating new publications to be run by his agency.
While there hasn’t been any further official word on whether those plans are moving forward, Chortle’s source deep inside HHS1 tells us that Secretary Kennedy is indeed planning to create and oversee the following, peer-reviewed science journals:
Intestinal Parasite Fancy
Throat Lozenge Skeptic
Phlebotomies 4 Kidz
Bag of Leeches Quarterly
