British Medical Journal (BMJ) and the anti-vax grifters driving their cred into the ground

I know — your first question is: which one this time?

There’s a draft in my hopper debunking a wide range of dubious claims about the Pfizer vaccine trials that were made in a piece at the British Medical Journal (BMJ) a while ago. I spent a lot of time looking at the alleged “leaked documents” and the cherry-picked items clipped from them by the BMJ piece’s author. I watched some excruciating videos and listened to podcasts by the alleged whistleblower and a lawyer of hers. It’s very clear that these claims are — at best — misrepresented and inflated. Some are flat out bogus. But Lead Stories is continuing to correctly hold the line on the extensive “missing context” on the claims, so I’ve decided to focus on a different missing context item from the BMJ piece. In my opinion, it’s probably the biggest one — it’s a massive Conflict of Interest. That was not disclosed to you, dear reader.

I know — you are still wondering, which grifter? Is it Peter Doshi, who was an “expert witness” for an RFKJr Children’s Health Defense lawsuit in the past?

He was also one of the expert witnesses for the anti-vaccine organization Children’s Health Defense lawsuit…
