So Peter Gøtzsche has been kicked off the board of directors of @cochranecollab. I can't say I'm sorry after his biased and poor quality critique of the Cochrane review on the HPV vaccine and his book comparing big pharma to the mafia. 1/https://vaxopedia.org/2018/09/16/crisis-at-the-nordic-cochrane-centre/ …

Of late, on psychiatry, Gøtzsche has been sounding as though he's become a scientologist, and on the topic of the HPV vaccine he's been sounding more and more antivax. 3/https://www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalraptorblog.php/cochrane-hpv-vaccine-systematic-review-criticism/ …

Four members of
@cochranecollab board resigned in solidarity because they couldn't defend the board's decision as board members are expected to do. They state that they value "plurality of opinions, views, and perspectives," but Gøtzsche is now pretty far out there. 4/Show this thread -
In any event, it saddens me. Gøtzsche used to be such a pillar of the evidence-based medicine community. He still runs @CochraneNordic, which makes me wonder if
@cochranecollab will let Nordic Cochrane continue to use the Cochrane name. 5/Show this thread -
In any event, one gone, one to go. If
@cochranecollab would now get rid of Tom Jefferson, that would be a big step forward in cleaning house with respect to vaccines. As for Gøtzsche, good riddance, I say! 6/6https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/are-recommended-childhood-vaccine-schedules-evidence-based/ …Show this thread

Big Pharma is the mafia. Open your eyes. Money will only buy you, pejorative contentment. Don't sell your soul.
