"Our current political leaders have demonstrated that they are dangerously incompetent. We should not abet them and enable the deaths of thousands more Americans by allowing them to keep their jobs." https://twitter.com/NEJM/status/1313950980224868352?s=20
The @sciam editors:

"The evidence & the science show that [Trump's] badly damaged the US & its people—because he rejects evidence & science. The most devastating example is his dishonest & inept response to the pandemic, which cost more than 190k [lives]" https://twitter.com/sciam/status/1305854127721910275?s=20
From @Marcia4Science and @VictorDzau @theNASEM:

"We find ongoing reports & incidents of the politicization of science, particularly the overriding of evidence and advice from public health officials and derision of government scientists, to be alarming." https://twitter.com/theNASEM/status/1309149755608641538?s=20
