      I don’t know his work outside vaccines. For all I know, it might be great. But his work on #vaccines has consistently been problematic in the same way. Have you read the post I linked to about his latest?https://respectfulinsolence.com/2021/01/15/why-is-peter-doshi-still-an-editor-at-the-bmj/ …

      I prefer to read the primary sources myself (I did, when they came out) and definitely do not need some science blogger or whatever interpreting the literature for me, regardless of his influencer status.

      In this case, just reading Dr. Doshi’s article without the additional background can lead people astray. That’s exactly the problem with his work, which can lead people outside the field to false conclusions. (I don’t know if you’re outside the field, it’s a general comment).

      And exactly what would be Dr. Gorski's competences here? What would recommend him as an expert in this? Surely not publications on the topic and definitely not any scientific work I am aware of?

      He has been debunking exactly this kind of scientific misinformation for decades. And note that his post draws on experts in the field for the points about the trials. He certainly has more on-point expertise than Dr. Doshi.

      Note that in this article, Dr. Doshi tried to downplay vaccines’ effectiveness by arguing for including cases not identified as Covid-19 in the count. Highly problematic.

      I will not waste my time with "debunkers", but I read the Doshi piece in the context of his body of work asking for clinical trial data sharing, which I think we can all agree would be beneficial. Well maybe not Dr. Gorski since I assume he doesn't analyze any data.

      If you read Dr. Gorski’s piece you would see he agrees with transparency in trials. The issue is misrepresenting vaccines data in the quest for it. I think all of us can agree that’s wrong. At least, I hope so.

      Actually, reading Doshi’s #CovidVaccine piece in the context of his past body of work makes it worse, not better. He’s been downplaying vaccine efficacy based on bad arguments at least since the H1N1 pandemic of 2009-10. It’s his MO.

      What exactly are your contributions in this space? Transparency, data sharing, sponsorship bias? And your own financial COI declarations?

      I have no sponsors and no financial COIs in this space-or any other space, for that matter. Nice try at the pharma shill gambit, though.🙄 https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Shill_gambit …

          I meant scientific contributions, it was obvious. But also a rhetorical question, since google already told me you had none.
