Do You Trust The CMAJ on Covid Vaccine Research?

When is science trustworthy? “Stay critical” to learn the answer!

Under talented moderator Trish Woods, two expert scientists recently discussed serious flaws in a research study published on April 25 in the Canadian Medical Association Journal by lead author Dr. N. Fishman. Their discussion can be heard here.

Find the Fishman paper on the CMAJ web site under the title “Impact of population mixing between vaccinated and unvaccinated subpopulations on infectious disease dynamics: implications for SARS-CoV-2 transmission”. The publication of this paper has since triggered a maelstrom of controversy, justly so if the critiques offered by Dr. Byram Bridle and Dr. Denis Rancourt are correct.

Our citizens deserve trusted sources of information.

Trustworthy information is crucial to sound public policy, and nowhere is this more important than in public health. Dr. Fishman’s paper will likely be referenced by media, politicians and/or government officials numerous times in support of government vaccine mandate policies. When this happens, please refer back to the linked discussion. It will remind you why it is increasingly difficult to trust “the science” when it has been published in journals like the CMAJ under such a shoddy peer-review process.

Fortunately, Canada has independent journalists like Trish Wood who is dedicated to the cause of reporting on controversial public policy topics like this when the legacy corporate media is unable or unwilling to do so.

“Stay critical” as Trish always says.
