Last Thursday, a peer-reviewed paper was published in the journal Science, Public Health Policy and the Law. The objective of this study was to determine the association between vaccination and neurodevelopmental disorders in 9-year-old children enrolled in the Medicaid programme from birth.
The researchers analysed claims data for 47,155 nine-year-old children. They found that children with just one vaccination visit were 1.7 times more likely to have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (“ASD”) than the unvaccinated. Shockingly, children with 11 or more visits were 4.4 times more likely to have been diagnosed with ASD
The reviewing editor was James Lyons-Weiler, PhD. Dr. Peter McCullough is not mentioned in the paper but is on the editorial board for the Clinical Research section.
In an effort to debunk the paper’s findings, a Substack page titled ‘Unbiased Science’ said the paper should be disregarded because it was published on a “WordPress blog” and peer-reviewed by Dr. Peter McCullough, “a known promoter of medical misinformation.”
Science, Public Health Policy and the Law is a science-based knowledge, not narrative-dictated knowledge journal that works to make sure that only objective knowledge is used in the formation of medical standards of care and public health policies.
Unbiased Science is led by its founder Dr. Jess Steier, a “public health scientist” and co-founder of Vital Statistics Consulting. She has developed “multiple modes of scientific communication on covid.” According to her biography:
Dr. Steier is a noted expert in COVID-19. She has designed and led multiple COVID-19 related research projects for the largest FQHC [Federally Qualified Health Centre] in New York State, and has developed multiple modes of scientific communication of COVID-19 related information, including diagnostic and antibody testing, population health outcomes, and COVID-19 vaccine uptake. Dr. Steier hosts The Unbiased Science Podcast, the goal of which is to dispel misinformation and misconceptions across an array of science and public health topics.
She holds a Certificate in Patient Safety, as well as a Certificate in COVID-19 Contact Tracing from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. She also holds COVID-19 Certifications (in Psychological Health First Aid for COVID-19 and Returning to Work: Safe Work Practices) from the American Red Cross.
For someone who is a “noted expert” there is surprisingly little about her to be found from an internet search. In fact, the only websites that appear to mention her are her own. As for her claims that she has developed “multiple modes of scientific communication,” we can only guess what her turn of phrase actually means but it sounds like psychobabble for “covid propaganda.” Regardless, it seems she has a vested interest in keeping the false covid narrative alive, which even with a good dollop of imagination cannot be described as “unbiased.”
