The study is published in one of the worlds premier medical journals. I am guessing it was peer reviewed by qualified people who likely thought of where the data is coming from.
It’s totally fine to question the data. I’m simply pointing out that it takes some effort to get published in the Lancet. I doubt that any of the participants would like the ignominy of publishing a fake research and being a pariah for the rest of their lives.
Dismissing the data just because it came from Russia seems excessive to me. It’s quite possible that they were successful despite not having gone through the FDA certification process.
- blhack 6y agoThis is the same peer reviewed medical journal that “peer reviewed” a paper based on obviously fake surgisphere data. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)31324-6/fulltext https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6... Kindof seems like those “peers” are human beings who are capable of reviewing things in the direction of their priors.
- pm90 6y agoDo I expect them to be correct all of the time? No. Do I expect them to be correct most of the time? Absolutely.
- abraxas 6y agoNo journal is immune to being manipulated by skewed data. They (Lancet) in particular never truly lived down the vaccine-autism link fiasco. But again, I’m not going to declare that this data is cooked but I think it behooves us to approach it with a bit of skepticism. More so than if it were coming from a more trustworthy country.
