@MatSilk No, you miss the point completely Matt. Science demands transparency. You don't get to hide half the evidence & call it 'science'.

@MatSilk And AllTrials doesn't exclude vaccines. That's just one of many pharma products caught up in those figures. Can change the result. -
@C7RKY Would be interested to see what proportion of vaccine trials were unpublished and what they said, certainly. -
@MatSilk So would I!! And I suspect we'd both be unpleasantly surprised by the results. Particularly for vaccines actually, by my reckoning. -
@C7RKY It is hard to argue against the correlation between introduction of vaccines and reduction in flu, smallpox etc... -
@MatSilk Actually some argue most diseases were dying off before vaccines arrived. I'm not against vaccines btw. I'm just against the damage -
@MatSilk "when you add together the published & unpublished evidence, you get a v diff pic of the quality & effectiveness of those drugs" > -
@MatSilk ...said the Editor-In Chief of the BMJ to the hearing > http://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/jan/03/drug-firms-information-clinical-trials … This matters, imho. A LOT.
