βauthors should state when they did not synthesize the totality of the evidence (e.g., engaged in cherry-picking) or if they did not evaluate or contextualize the included literature, etc.β Love peer review of the peer review! π₯

I spent this week feeling very frustrated about this looming situation, so today I decided to write about cholera infantum. It killed infants and young toddlers every summer, and making it a weird disease of the past took food safety regulation and support for poor families' food access.

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.

Nowhere in this letter from the outgoing editor of C&RL do they address the issue of publishing a bad-faith article based on cherry-picked "research." If we can't expect some kind of standards of rigor for what they publish, what's even the point?
