Again?!

I checked the citations for the two highest cited papers, and all are self-citations.

Do pediatricians make large profits from vaccines? Vaccine critics like to say that pediatricians profit from vaccines. This report found something very different.

Our article is out today in @statnews.com. Do pediatricians get rich from vaccines? We followed the money. Short answer: ABSOLUTELY NOT. This dangerously misleading claim just won’t die.

Scoop: The leaked protocol of the CDC-funded Hepatitis B vaccine trial in Guinea-Bissau. “This is another Tuskegee.” The protocol reveals that the trial will withhold the Hepatitis B birth dose from thousands—without placebos, without universal maternal screening, and with endpoints critics call indefensible.

Thank you, @jeremyfaust.bsky.social, for this public service; we have all wanted to see the protocol of this deeply unethical trial being funded by RFK Jr in Guinea-Bissau, I’m grateful you obtained it and have published it

I might consider doing so, but I think everyone already knows. COPE is not *that* stupid.

So he's misrepresenting the guidelines then. It explicitly says "except...where the editor is compromised or has a conflict of interest."

Oops, also at 18 months and only for the placebo group.

There's other weird stuff. What's going on with the bone alkaline phosphatase? They consistently measured it for fewer participants than the Ca and Phosphate, until 24 months! Did they magically rediscover some lost participants and then only measure bone ALP?

Just google him.

McKernan isn't. He really is as awful a human being as his comment suggests.

They added a little dig at Cassidy:

@springernature.com a bit hilarious how a critical paper on pppr in one of your journals cites a non-existing paper in one of your other journals. It's not the only fake citation either. AI slop by the EiC of that journal.

Never knew @smutclyde.bsky.social was a trinity 🙃

I'm confused. When I search online, IL-1F9 is IL-36 gamma, and IL-1F8 is IL-36 beta?

The main paper on which this is based is here: doi.org/10.1186/s129... it's rather weak evidence...

The man is despicable. I remember how he shared a "died suddenly" video, which linked the vaccine to various deaths. Ignoring for a moment it contained people who weren't dead, it also included Jorja Halliday, who died due to COVID on the day her first vaccination had originally been planned.

What does this have to do with the previous Administration?

Having a "conversation" on LinkedIn with someone who, after three responses, still doesn't know the difference between "Dutch" and "Danish", or The Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark. Sigh. No prize for guessing where they're from.

If there's already a major problem at the bottling point...

Well, this was all linked to one single farm, so maybe not quite "just fine".

You'd think so, but in the calculations it doesn't. Europe has long not wanted to vaccinate against chickenpox - too much effort with too little gain according to the calculations, unlike in the US.

The short version: saving a life costs money. If it costs more than the 'value' of that life, you may not want to do that. A hospitalization prevented is a lot better in the US (very expensive healthcare) compared to Europe.

Not sure they are out of line. A further issue to consider is the different Value-of-Life between the US and much of Europe.

No, he doesn't. The FDA does not make the recommendations, it provides approvals. Prasad blocked approvals, meaning the other authorities (CDC) cannot even decide (not) to recommend them.

He had not even finished his BS in 1983!
