2/6 We at @eupha.bsky.social & Eur J Publ Health stand firm with them against political interference in scientific language. Retractions should only occur for fraud or errors, not political pressure

3/6 🌍 The Trump administration's actions are part of a terrifying global trend where ideology tries to silence science. This includes climate change denial and attacks on reproductive rights

4/6 🛡️ We must protect the integrity of scientific knowledge. Suppression of research anywhere threatens knowledge everywhere. Solidarity with censored colleagues is crucial

5/6 🚨 History warns us: censorship isn't about public protection but control. We can't let history repeat itself by allowing governments to dictate scientific discourse

6/6 📢 European public health institutions must denounce these actions and support researchers in resisting data erasure. The fight for scientific freedom is a global responsibility
