Not sure about medical journals, but there have been a lot of academic and scientific journals that used to be respectable that no longer are (or maybe more accurately, are willing to ignore traditional standards when it comes to the right pet issues). And while I'd like to think the medical profession as a whole is full of competent doctors with integrity, there are enough out there that aren't that get wide circulation in news stories (e.g. https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/05/healt...nd/index.html; https://time.com/5848212/doctors-supporting-protests/) and people outside of the profession don't have a feel for how much of an outlier they are. And then they have zero idea which organizations or medical journals are credible to begin with (see all of these: https://www.meditec.com/resourcestoo...ociations-list), so when they see a story like this: https://www.statnews.com/2021/06/01/...m-in-medicine/, they at best don't know if that was a formerly respectable organization and at worst just assume the profession has gone woke.
