Just to clarify for others reading: Statens Serum Institut (SSI) is a government agency, founded and primarily funded by the Danish Ministry of Health. It’s not a private company profiting from vaccines. In fact, SSI sold its vaccine production business in 2016 to AJ Vaccines and now focuses on public health, disease surveillance, and research.
The claim that their “salaries come from vaccine profits” is simply false. While they conduct vaccine-related research and some of their funding comes from competitive grants, their core operations are state-funded. Saying "Primary funding source: None" in a paper means no external funding for that specific study, not that the authors are secretly paid by pharma.
It’s important to hold science accountable — but misrepresenting basic facts about an institution’s funding just spreads confusion, not clarity.
- fsckboy 1y agoI was writing what wikipedia says. What about what wikipedia says are you disputing?
- ml-student 1y agoWhere on wikipedia does it say: SSI salaries come from vaccine profits I'd love to know so I can go correct it. Remember Wikipedia is a community encyclopedia not the ground thruth.
