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.

That Doshi piece was one of the worst things I've read in the pandemic (high bar). The fact he is an editor of a major journal and publishing rubbish is pitiful. It's frankly embarrassing.

Citing the NNV is one of the dumber things someone can conceive. One has to try to not understand basic application of study design in the real world to make such an elementary error.

I don't care what people have written in the past. When they right rubbish in the middle of a pandemic, I have no forgiveness. NO ONE MAKES PEOPLE WRITE THESE HORRIBLE PIECES.

I think his history makes me think that when he writes these things in the vaccines context, it’s more than just an error. It’s at best a deep rooted bias.

It’s definitely a deep bias. This is a man who gave a presentation questioning the flu vaccine at an antivaccine conference in the middle of the H1N1 pandemic in 2009.

Is it ok to untag myself here? I have a very low bar for pandemic conversation, but this is under it.

I can but Dr. Gorski generously retweeted me to his fans, oh sorry I meant followers. Bye now. I will look forward to your own pieces in the BMJ or any other scientific journal.

Funny you should bring that up in this thread. I do-authored a “debunking” post I hope to see published in BMJ soon.
