The Lancet has become a laughing stock

Norman Fenton and Martin Neil (UK) 14/01/2023

In summary:

  • On 6 May 2021 The Lancet published a blatantly flawed study of the effectiveness of the Pfizer covid vaccine on the population of Israel, claiming it was 95% effective.

  • On 17 May 2021 we submitted a rapid response 250 word letter explaining why the study was flawed.

  • After an initial response saying they would ask the authors for a response to our letter we heard nothing until 20 months later.

The gatekeepers say: "We do not like your opinion and reject it as misinformation."

Awkward.
