Last year under the Trump Administration, National Institutes of Health officials decided not to help publicize federally funded research that used fetal tissue cells, “calling it a political landmine,” according to a report in BuzzFeed News.
The news outlet had obtained emails among officials discussing the decision.According to BuzzFeed, NIH representatives did not respond to requests for comment on the emails.
The article cited my discussion that agencies ban contact between staff and reporters without oversight and push out what they think is news: "Suppression of press alerts for political reasons is an illustration of what unconscionable conflict of interest runs through it all."
