Journal of the Academy of Public Health

Last updated

Origin

The journal was launched on February 5, 2025 with the intention of disrupting conventional academic publishing. Its founders are associated with anti-establishment medical views and its editorial board includes people associated with misinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic. [2]

Reaction

Writing for Science-Based Medicine , Jonathan Howard said the journal's founders were "misinformation superspreaders" and that it was likely to prove a vehicle for "propaganda masquerading as science to further the MAGA/MAHA political agenda". [3]
