> In April 2022, Food and Chemical Toxicology, an Elsevier journal, published a review article dealing with mRNA anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccines [10], pretending that these vaccines are at the cause of a series of dreadful diseases for a large number of people (neurodegenerative disease, myocarditis, immune thrombocytopenia, Bell’s palsy, liver disease, impaired adaptive immunity, impaired DNA damage response and tumorigenesis).

Ahh, Elsevier…

What, no diabetes? Hm...

Jokes aside, all the fancy, high IF journals publish research papers and reviews where authors blow up the discussions section like they found the one and only true cause/treatment of certain diseases.

They control a lot of science publishing, while adding little or even negative value compared to everyone just dumping their papers online.

I think they get called out not because they're worse on a per-paper basis, but more because they're so damn pervasive.
