To the editor:

At a recent rally President Donald Trump told his supporters his administration was  “crushing “ the coronavirus. Why then did the New England Journal of Medicine break its 208-year tradition of avoiding politics by publishing an open letter saying in part that the Trump administration had  “Taken a crisis and turned it into a tragedy. “ They continued, the  “magnitude of this failure is astonishing. “ The letter was signed by three dozen editors and called for Trump to be voted out of office.
