Semmelweis University firmly rejects the hidden claim of the article published on the 444.hu news portal on October 19, 2021, entitled "The national research of the Merkels was intended for the world's leading newspaper, but was finally published in an aging science journal", according to which the national representative H-UNCOVER investigation The publication was not published on the basis of its scientific value, but on the basis of protection, in the leading American D1 journal owned by the Springer newspaper group, writes the official website of the university.

It is worth noting: in a short time, at the time of publication of this announcement, the article has already achieved 35 international references, which is an outstanding value.

The publication's success is demonstrated by the fact that three internationally renowned experts in epidemiology and virology wrote editorials analyzing the lessons learned from the H-UNCOVER study.
These experts are: -Professor Martin McKee
Professor McKee is Europe's leading epidemiologist, president of the European Public Health Association (former European Public Health Association), research director of the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies operating under the WHO.

GeroScience is a highly prestigious journal of the American Society for Aging Science, with an impact factor of eight, whose editor-in-chief is Hungarian. The aspiration of every Hungarian university is to have as many editor-in-chiefs of scientific journals as possible working within the walls of their institutions, they emphasize.

On 10/12, the editors of 444.hu approached Semmelweis University with the questions available at this link, to which the institution answered in detail on 10/14 with the request that the portal publish the answers without changes.
The original article published on 10.19 only partially contained the university's answers, and although the article was supplemented by the journalist at our request, it still contains slips at several points, partly referring to anonymous sources . That is why Semmelweis University has published its full responses to the case on its website, in the above link, their statement adds.

The practice of journalism, which contrasts the opinions of anonymous sources with verifiable facts reported by experts who take their names, misleads the public and is not objective - they emphasize the harmful activities of the Soros blog.
