TLDR: If the Flat Earth Society had an online wanna-be scientific journal aapsonline.org would be its equivalent.
The cult members have already stopped reading folks, but for those of you with an open mind: the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) can't get its papers published in any accredited academic literature database, such as MEDLINE, PubMed, or the Web of Science
Why? Because they advocate fringe theories. For example: while scientists around the world are pointing to unprecedented weather events - fires, floods, storms, the drought in the US southwest - as warnings about the need for action on climate change, the AAPS journal says "We are living in an increasingly lush environment of plants and animals as a result of this CO2 increase. Our children will therefore enjoy an Earth with far more plant and animal life than that with which we now are blessed." https://www.jpands.org/vol12no3/robinson.pdf, and "...one can only hope that some path will emerge that will end the present irrational obsession with climate and carbon footprints." https://www.jpands.org/vol18no3/lindzen.pdf. As recently as January 2023 They are still suspicious.
They have also seriously questioned whether AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus: "There remain many reasons for doubting the HIV = AIDS hypothesis, or even for positively denying it." https://www.jpands.org/vol12no4/bauer.pdf
If you go on vacation and have a medical emergency in some other province, would it be nice for that hospital to have access to your medical records back home? Not according to the AAPS.
They publish anecdotal evidence instead - and in spite - of scientific evidence to the contrary. For example: one doctor's opinion vs science - "abortion is not linked to an increase in breast cancer risk" and more science - "no relationship between abortion and risk".
Folks, you should look up The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. You'll find it's a political advocacy group for medical people, like the NRA is for gun owners. You know, extreme. There are over a million doctors in the US. Less than 0.4% belong to the AAPS.
