In yet another under-the-radar but significant victory for taxpayers and transparency, the President Donald Trump administration has quietly terminated federal contracts with one of the world’s largest academic publishing conglomerates.
The funding cuts for Springer Nature come following mounting evidence of political bias, scientific censorship, and misuse of federal tax dollars.
Springer is accused of helping former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director Dr. Anthony Fauci and ex-National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Dr. Francis Collins to cover up evidence that COVID-19 leaked from a Chinese lab.
The administration canceled one active contract and allowed three others to lapse, ending taxpayer funding for the German-based publishing company.
The company controls prestigious science journals but has increasingly come under fire for operating more like a political advocacy group than a scientific institution.
While corporate media barely acknowledged the move, conservative watchdogs are applauding the decision as a long-overdue rejection of the kind of institutional rot that flourished during the pandemic and under prior administrations.
Springer Nature has become infamous for pushing politically charged narratives, downplaying the COVID-19 lab leak theory, and censoring research to appease authoritarian regimes like China.
According to Retraction Watch, Springer was forced to issue 2,923 retractions in 2024 alone, making it one of the most error-prone publishers in the world.
Many of these retractions, critics argue, stem from ideological groupthink and a broken peer-review system overwhelmed by activism.
Fox News media reporter Brian Flood noted in June that Springer “has also been accused of significantly downplaying the Covid lab-leak theory and censoring content to appease the Chinese government.”
