President Donald Trump takes off his face mask as he arrives at the White House upon his return from Walter Reed Medical Center, where he underwent treatment for Covid-19 on Oct. 5, 2020.The New England Journal of Medicine, one of the most prestigious medical journals in the world, on Wednesday broke with a nearly two-century tradition of avoiding politics to lambast U.S. politicians for their handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
"The response of our nation’s leaders has been consistently inadequate," they wrote."The federal government has largely abandoned disease control to the states. Governors have varied in their responses, not so much by party as by competence. But whatever their competence, governors do not have the tools that Washington controls."
The editors wrote that while Covid-19 is a global crisis, the United States government has “failed at almost every step” to contain the pathogen’s spread. The editorial points to early blunders such as testing shortages and a lack of personal protective equipment for healthcare workers, but adds that the country continues to fall short today.
A REAL prestigious journal would have Class and avoid the politics mayhem. What did this journal suggest as the cure, or the to do list to lessen COVID19. All talk and no action is useless, don't you think?
Trump may be a super virus spreader. and a clown and a rogue.
And I agree.
Considering the NEJM's relationship with China, and this sounds a great deal like foreign interfere in an election.
The US did a pretty good job! Unfortunately Democrats tried to weaponize the virus to kill the economy and hurt Trumps re-election. Fact Check that!
But keep the politician does lip serves
JimmyJoeHardy Do they apologize to those potentially millions of people who will unnecessarily die because they could see their physician for months on end, due to the lockdown that these same folks wanted imposed on citizens?
JimmyJoeHardy Shut up and scalpel.
Is it academia or media that have been possessed by the evil (= the money of global investors of deeply rooted in the country).
We have an incompetent president what did we expect. 🤷🏻♀️
More fantasies / lies President Donald Trump doubled-down on his claims of 'crooked' and 'fraudulent' ballots Verified history of mail in votes that have been prevalent in last century show ta minimum of fraud was tried & did not succeed. Trump won in 2016 due to mail in vote
Fake news NBC and now the British medical journal! They are liars and frauds who took bribe money to kill Americans and lie about this pandemic being as bad as it is! Suppressed HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE, while lecturing us on how we didn't do enough! God will judge you all, repent

Pandemic? More like scamdemic
Not prestigious at all! Wanting to force vaccinations, staring with healthcare workers. As one I know too many that will not take it. It may come down with us losing our job.
🖕🖕🖕
What a crock of horse bagels!! The NEJM is a for profit organization that are deep in the pockets of Big Pharma. I don’t trust them as far as I can throw them . I’ve worked 33 years as a registered nurse in the healthcare system in these United States. They are a big joke!
It hasn't been prestigious for a while now, and this is an example of why that is.
The WhiteHouse is our new CDCgov. If that doesn't concern you, then good luck.
And exactly what would the NEJM have done. Or just a cheap comment from the cheap seats?
MeetThePress Those damn scientists with their adherence to proof is really getting in trumps way during his effort to destroy America.
MeetThePress Too Bad. They should have called out Super Spreader in Chief Trump.

Don the con is a delusional dangerous destructive demonic desperate deranged Criminal.
It is Saturday, Oct 10th, 2020. I call for the removal from office by ANY legal means evoking our Constitutional & Federalist privilege the IMPEACHED fascist realdonaldtrump illegal “president” of these United States. IDESENT; A Sovereign Citizen deems this regime illegitimate.
Hundreds of people ignorant of the Real Donald J Trump. If he wins and Graham wins the Untied States will indeed become a dictator state with one party beholden to the very corrupt and far right rich and your freedoms you enjoy today will become history in the next 3 years.
MeetThePress What country handled it better?
The days of elitism are over, guys. Catch up or be swallowed by what is coming.
Sadly, In so making this declaration, this “august body”, loses all objectivity!
Add doctors to this list
Interesting. Ok sheeple, just for kicks go through the twitter feeds of these so called Dr editors. Seems like they are much more interested in politics than medicine. Extremely dangerous.
Yeah because Europe handled it so well? But shouldn't these morons be outraged at China
The New England Journal of Medicine has pooped and sat in it. Great job protecting American from this Virus.
Goodbye Cuomo, Murphy newsome and mitchen
Why is fake NBC misleading America?
If Trump had followed the science vs his alternate witchcraft approach the chances are he would be cruising for a record setting reelection. He didn’t and now he will suffer an historic defeat. World leaders who follow the science are doing very well in the polls.
Please DO NOT FORGET , 🇺🇸. How much MORE? Cicã USA discovered ~1600s. So Americans are about 420 years old species (forget the “coincidence“). HOW COME?! If so, America is the kid and the rest of the “map” has a huge responsibility towards the kids. Let’s do it!
How does the New England Journal of Medicine feel about the Communist Chinese Party (CCP)?
What took so long?
🤣🤣🤣🤡
YOU WON'T HEAR THIS ON NBC....50,000 OHIO VOTERS getting WRONG ABSENTEE BALLOTS. Out of control. A Rigged Election!!!
Wake up call America.. this time from the world’s Leading Medical Professional’s and Experts... do your country and yourself a favour.. get rid of this big pandemic..which has infected American lives for last four years..
214,000 dead Americans Vote him out !
More lefty politics..
Trump needs to come with a warning label. Will kill you so that I look good.
Bullshit lol! If Trump had found the cure the libs would of condemned him for that full of hate simple as that
👏👏 I didn't need a prestigious medical journal to see these politicians could care less about the people they 'serve' ,but maybe someone who was going to sit out this election is listening 🤔
Veremos los resultados electorales que arroje el 3-N.
Well we don’t give a shit about them or you. Live in fear with JoeBiden if you must. We choose Trump2020
It says politicians and leaders. That includes Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell, governors, etc. this is bigger than just Trump.
Well done! Real doctors not bought or bullied by the CowardinChief VoteBidenHarris2020
So you found “one”. I remember a time where “journalists” reported on competing opinions... not just the one they dug up to paint a misleading opinion. News doesn’t STOP when you find a worse case scenario. There’s always MORE. Don’t be a 🐑 people. Use YOUR mind not theirs.
Your President Fights For Your Children, Yet You Choose The Democrats. Vote Donald Trump, Vote War On Pedophilia, Sex trafficking. Why They Want Him Out. Only The Surface. This Story Get's Very Sordid. Hollywood, CIA. High Places End_Pedophilia
Another bastion of impartiality comes crashing down. Hey , how about digging into why all of a sudden...instead of being their gleeful spokesman? Bet there's a real story there....(remember that concept?)
This is not surprising as the New England Journal of Medicine is a biased left-leaning publication, supporting free gender re-assignment surgery, Planned Parenthood, fetal research & gun control.
Nope.
Nancy Pelosis Response to Covid 19 In China Town, The Direct Link To China..
Global elites are making a power play. Most people are scared sheep
Let's be clear, it's trump who's to blame for all this, and the Republicans for being spineless.
Trump2020LandslideVictory
Pure nonsense- No Party running the Gov. can do any better. The difference in numbers would be very small.
The words and actions of politicians and leaders should always be prudent.
'In a stunning reversal of their usual bias, NBC News endorses Republicans! Film at 11!'
Understand there are a lot of Grants to be awarded by the winner of this election to select scientist to deal with covid-19 and this is a lot like the climate change scientist coming out against Trump they want their piece of the action
VOTE BLUE
and how could anyone trust a Journal of Medicine that has become 'Politically Motivated' Very poor judgement by whoever was responsible for that decision.
How do they feel about Sweden ?
The GOP party of Trump are the worst in history.
Mmmmm
The coronavirus is Mongolian biological weapon! If don't believe it, they may slowly end killing humanity!

Playing this week at select drive-in venues before it hits video on demand Oct. 13 and Hulu on Oct. 20, “Totally Under Control” is both a slow-motion tragedy and a sickening rush; it compresses roughly nine months of steadily mounting tension and chaotic freefall into two hours.
Enough said.... VOTE
Danger when trusted institutions become politicized - left or right - half the population will disregard. Long term interest of institutional reputation more important than any short term political concerns.
Trump is out of control, totally drug affected, has no judgment, not that he ever had. He’s going down In a ball of flames which he knows and will take everyone with him, including the Country. 25thAmendment needs to be activated, he destroying the American people and their soul
Monday morning qb
what a bold and refreshing new stand.
Trump the greatest leader in centuries! The most unifying leader in the world. We need to stop paying countries to behave. Isn't the USA citizen tired of the Dems paying off terrorist countries paying country to do the right thing. Biden's the money has run out!
Science = Facts Trump = Lies Lies = Danger
Why is president trump using embryo stem cells in his covid treatment? Isn’t he pro life? Thoughts evangelicals?
Vote out the dumb ones.
Thank you New England Journal of Medicine

So now we know NEJM has joined the political class and everything they publish now has to be seen through the left wing lens.
Shameful. wouldyoudieforyourpresident
gop Looters and Moochers are responsible!!!! Ain't blaming Trump, blaming SenateGOP AND HouseGOP like Matt Gaetz, Louie Gohmert, Steve King, Thomas Massie, and Clay Higgins. Election2020 NEJM
I see your nightly fake news is still a pushing the Hydroxychloroquin lie.
There’s no reason to believe anything reports or, evidently, trust anything associated with the New England Journal of Medicine.
😟😟😟
The WHO just admitted that its no worse than the seasonal flu
A newspaper actually willing to tell the truth? Never.
nejm... to sum it up.. y’all f it up 😂
trump that little whistle is trying to get joe Biden infected he is the Hitler and Stalin of America - he never had COVID he and the medical team all lied for his stunt! He wants to kill as many people off as possible!! And you all sit and watch!!
It's commendable and telling they are calling him out, but Trump dominates the news cycle so few will hear it. I am hoping KamalaHarris or JoeBiden mentions in the next debate.
Doe_SoFarSoGood Not politicians...U.S. leaders. We need better journalism schools.
Just say Trump
U mean WHO and CDC?
Please....name names.
You really need to look at who publishes the New England Journal of Medicine and I'm almost positive it is tied to one of the networks or one of the major news organizations such as the New York Times or the Washington Post
Packing the court JoeBiden
Cumo, Nancy, Trump - I'm sure all of them will be held responsible 🙈
We're doing the best we can, but we are also fighting a pandemic of ignorance.
Good. Meanwhile... MAGA - fake news! 😂
Sure. Alternate headline: Group of NeverTrump editors use position with Journal to bash current President.
what does the NEJM have to say about doctors? has their profession covered itself in glory?
They coming for Cuomo?
Yawn
“Test Tube Trump” is a walking cocktail of steroids, antibodies manufactured medically, and who knows what other drugs. He is in an altered state of mind, more irrational and aggressive than ever. He is not fit to hold office, derelict in his duties, and a risk to the Country!!!!
Trump has caused far more carnage than any terrorist.
Good
Like these?
Funny how Trump is the pic when he has condemned the southern states for their behavior.....following that agenda!
Why didn’t they lambast Obama during the H1N1 debacle that affected 60 million?
Fake news!
Hahaha why do you have to tell us how prestigious they are (were)? Lest we find out they’ve taken a political bent the last decade or so.
Nobody cares
Exactly

LETS VOTE HIM OUT THE MOST DANGEROUS PERSON TO THE USA
The President has done his best
Too bad the average Trump supporter doesn't READ the Journal. Although, even then, many would support him, regardless.
Think: NYT Editorial Board ALWAYS endorses war (Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Syria, etc). But, NYT journalists usually against war. NEJM editors politically motivated for lockdowns. SCIENTISTS know masks & lockdowns are bad for a virus w/ 99.5% survival rate for all age 69
Who are these thirty hacks ? One there was never a national plan under obama his lame 80 page out line stated see state plans. Trump had a national plan it was the phased plan to reopen . Second it was obama and biden who shipped production of ppe to china .
King David Healing Holy Oil, A miracle healing balm for all disease and illness Dm if interested
The scientific journal should report the truth behind this global pandemic , not play politics ! What's the US standard to count death ? What's the excessive deaths ? What happened to other countries ?
More and more people are starting to question this virus and how it got here Democrats using this t as a tool to destroy Our economy, the way Democrats tried to get us to go to public places in beginning, tainted tests by CDC almost went out till Trump stopped them, masks etc
piyushmittal VOTE BLUE
So what has NEJofM done to help onyone? How easy it is to sit on your ass and point fingers. How about some real help lilr maybe like a cure.
Yes please.
4thislizz This whole thing makes me think about the Movie.. Gone With the Wind....the last scene. 'When We all Say Damn you Trump'
It’s time to quit being sheep for these politicians and be wolves for ourselves we pay their salaries we can vote them all out
THE NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL of MEDICINE is the same journal that falsified hydroxychloroquine results! They are a DISGRACED journal! This should tell everyone to vote for TRUMP like your health depends on it! BIG PHARMA hates TRUMP & BIG PHARMA OWNS THIS JOURNAL!!!!
jewarnock Why won't you speak to US researchers who created coronavirus? All of you 'news' outlets have been skirting the issue for months. Why won't you interview the researchers at the Univ. of North Carolina who partnered with Univ. of Virology, Wuhan, China?
Medicine is not leadership, medicine makes mistakes every day. Medicine saves people & kills people. Medicine performs abortions. Medicine combined with journalism has no authority over individual freedom. Maybe they should move to a communist country. Who cares what they think.
