      And this is a far more detailed debunking of Peter Doshi’s @bmj_latest article than mine or @skepticalraptor’s. So I ask again: Why is an antivax-sympathetic conspiracy theorist still an editor at BMJ? Why is he allowed to spread bogus complaints about #CovidVaccine?https://twitter.com/hildabast/status/1351538727844122632 …

      Debunking is tedious & time-consuming. Sometimes I do it anyway.... This time, it's Peter Doshi's claims in @bmj_latest Opinions about mRNA Covid vaccine efficacy & trustworthiness of the 2 big trials. http://hildabastian.net/index.php/covid-19/103-unpacking-doshi-take … pic.twitter.com/jdMFwcZivi

      And here's my good bud @skepticalraptor's deconstruction of the same antivaccine-adjacent (if not fully antivaccine) article.https://www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalraptorblog.php/anti-vaccine-peter-doshi-attacking-about-covid-19-vaccine-clinical-trials/ …

      And here's yet another dismantling of Peter Doshi's ridiculous @bmj_latest blog post. Bottom line: Doshi's main argument, that "suspected cases of #COVID19" rather than just confirmed cases should be counted in the #CovidVaccine efficacy analysis is either ignorant or deceptive.

      Basically, you have to assume that many if not most of the "suspected" #COVID19 cases were actually false-negatives to come up with an "analysis" like Peter Doshi's. This is utterly implausible given what we know and reading the @pfizer clinical trial protocol.

          Particularly facepalm-worthy is Peter Doshi's question, "Why should etiology matter?" He's basically arguing #CovidVaccine should be judged on its ability to prevent all flu- or cold-like viral illnesses, not just #COVID19 cases confirmed by positive #SARSCoV2 PCR. Ridiculous!

          Add to that the fact that Peter Doshi has served as an expert witness for a bogus lawsuit by @ChildrensHD, @RobertKennedyJr's antivaccine propaganda and advocacy org, and I have to ask @bmj_latest once again: WTF? Why is he still an associate editor?

          There comes a point when one has to wonder if @bmj_latest leans antivaccine, given how it hired an editor with a long history of bad arguments "questioning" the safety and efficacy of vaccines and who now regularly uses the journal's blog to amplify antivaccine disinformation.

          It just occurred to me that I forgot to mention @JohnSkylar's excellent refutation of Peter Doshi's @bmj_latest blog post on #CovidVaccine.https://covidtransmissions.substack.com/p/covid-transmissions-for-1-15-2021 …
