> The only right way to contest a scientific study is to provide a new scientific investigation that reaches different conclusions. Why is this the “only way”? The issue is this study seems to have manipulated its procedure to arrive at a preset conclusion. There are a lot of seemingly valid problems pointed out with it. Shouldn’t that be enough to contest it without the burden or cost or time of an “opposing” study?

It's easy for criticisms of a scientific study to look valid if you've only read the criticisms and not the study, and if you lack the expertise and context to evaluate them. One of the authors has posted a response briefly explaining why RFK is (as consistent with his track record) talking rubbish: https://www.trialsitenews.com/a/data-vs.-doubt-danish-scientist-responds-to-u.s.-hhs-secretary-critique-of-aluminum-vaccine-study-290120e9 https://www.trialsitenews.com/a/data-vs.-doubt-danish-scient... https://www.trialsitenews.com/a/landmark-danish-study-on-aluminum-in-childhood-vaccines-faces-fierce-criticismand-a-measured-defense-fcaf0bf6 https://www.trialsitenews.com/a/landmark-danish-study-on-alu... I'm sure that, as usual, the methodology of this particular study can be debated and people can disagree over exactly which conclusions can be drawn from it. That's not a reason to withdraw it from publication.

> There are a lot of seemingly valid problems pointed out with it. As I said, if the problems are indeed valid then a new analysis will show it. Otherwise, it's all speculations, and that is simply not enough. Science isn't built on speculations but on hard data, and this standard is not negotiable. Saying "sounds about right", shrugging and calling it a day is just not acceptable.
