Biomedical scientists! Have you ever publicly posted reviews of a manuscript?
Not posting the reviews depends on context - not responding to the reviews is weirder. The question to me is whether the authors took the comments on board or if the posted preprint is mostly unchanged because that would be less than ideal

If I'm really honest, I think open review is usually the best way to go and there's no real reason the authors could not include the reviews and their responses as a supplementary on medrxiv. That would completely remove any controversy

As you well know, facts & information do little to remove controversy.
That said, the preprint can be judged on its own merits. I could care less what some other “reviewers” thought of it. - Show replies

No way to know. All this started when a professor of medicine & surgery poo-poo’ed the preprint because “it was rejected 3 times”. I said rejections alone don’t reflect poor quality, and you can judge for yourself.

Someone else complained that the manuscript reviews were not posted for all to see, proving that the preprint was posted to “get around” poor reviews. I said I had never heard of “posting reviews” to manuscripts. And here we are.
