Revealed: Peer-review is Rigged!
Incredible. Paul Thacker noted a release of an email in the massive trove of documents produced by the Select Covid Committee (see part 1 of our take here).
This screenshot of an email between Edward Holmes and Robert Garry submitting a paper to Nature magazine:
So, As you know when you submit you'll need to suggest reviewers to include and exclude. Seems easy - there are some natural choices for both lists. Nature commentaries are peer-reviewed iirc but I'm guessing they'll push this as fast as possible.
"Peer" review takes on new meaning when the authors get to RECOMMEND who the peers are and who should be EXCLUDED!
It's a given all the important science journals are captured. So much of their published "science" is BS. I can tell this and my last science class was in 11th grade.
99 percent of the important mainstream media "news organizations" are captured (the one percent that's maybe not fully captured is Fox News and they just fired their best truth-speaking talking head).
What important "truth-seeking" organization is not captured? A prize to anyone who can identify this organization.
It’s called “pal review.”
I learned about this when I was looking into the global warming issue... very common there, too.
