Ci sono medici che sconsigliano di vaccinare Ci sono medici che certificano l'esenzione dai #vaccini senza controindicazioni documentate Ci sono genitori che non rispettano gli obblighi vaccinali Poi ci sono bambini che pagano le scelte degli adulti #Palermo #Difterite

Beyond the high profile of the affected journals and their unusually rapid response—as noted by @elisabethbik.bsky.social—the most notable aspect of this story is that the home institutions appear to have taken strong disciplinary action against the supervisors and PIs, not just the first authors.

Trust me, the woman of academia are not at all surprised by the number of academic men orbiting Epstein.

Wow. This is [sarcasm ON] one good-looking paper (and journal)[sarcasm OFF].

One of the biggest issues with meritocracy is that it fails to recognise that we massively underrate the role of chance in the outcomes of people's lives. This is even putting aside your birth circumstances, which are also chance.

I guess Ioannidis got the headlines he wanted with his unscientific presentation and straw man claims. Andy Stirling (and many others at the conference) asked better questions and were more willing to discuss the evidence underlying reform efforts. #metascience2025

I occasionally look at my "Discover" feed to get a broad idea of what's going on on BSky... I am starting to see borderline unsettling stuff a bit more often. Still quite rare though, and definitely not X grade abuse/trash, but possibly on the rise. Do you have the same impression?

Looks like you are right -with of course a little bit of additionnal nuances needed-. And this is quite in line with many studies about peer review (... and indeed as in many randomized controlled trials of many interventions in many fields...).

No. Never. I review 20+ of papers a year—it's my job as a scientist. The public pays my salary and trust me to use my time wisely to advance science. Through peer review, I do exactly that. I spend two or three weeks a year reviewing, but I’ve never wasted a day reviewing a paper, and never will.

Is there a German word for being simultaneously horrified by clumsy, misguided, and deeply destructive attacks on a critical system, and by the many grossly dysfunctional and inefficient aspects of the system being attacked? Because we really need one right now.

Please.Halt.Nutritional.Epidemiology. Will we run a trial on this? Are we going to have chocolate consumption dietary guidelines? Will it be a J-curved relationship in the end? Is funding from Mars not a problem? But more importantly can we just put a moratorium of 5 years on these studies?

Just a reminder: All vaccines used in public health have been rigorously tested. Their benefits greatly outweigh their risks. While a few people have a medical reason for not taking vaccines, most people (and the population overall) will benefit. Doctors who claim otherwise are irresponsible.
