The journal regularly includes commentaries and editorials on political and economic topics [1][2]. Political talks regularly occur at the conference [3].
In fact, the trigger to all of this was a scheduled talk by Jay Bhattacharya, Director of the NIH and a controversial political figure.
It seems silly to imply that politics are to be excluded from the conference at all costs when the ADA regularly invites political speakers to that same conference.
Do you believe that handing out copies of this editorial constituted inappropriate behavior? If so, why?
