Honestly, these UK incidents detailed seem awfully tame to someone across the ocean.

- s1artibartfast 6y agoOn the contrary, at least in the US I don't worry about the government censoring scientific journal articles about covid that make them look bad. Maybe I am wrong about this.
- thinkingemote 6y agoIndeed, the editorial gives examples from the US: "Suppression of science and scientists is not new or a peculiarly British phenomenon. In the US, President Trump’s government manipulated the Food and Drug Administration to hastily approve unproved drugs such as hydroxychloroquine and remdesivir."
- lumberingjack 6y agoUnited States FDA did not approve of neither so this is just a fluff editorial that doesn't fact check some of us call that fake news
- newacct583 6y agoThe FDA absolutely approved those drugs via emergency authorizations. That's the point: they weren't able to be approved via a normal process so the administration went around the bureaucracy. And in the case of HCQ they did this in contravention of the clear science surrounding the drug. Do you have a link to "not fake" news explaining how these drugs were somehow not approved?
