Few individuals can relate as personally as I do to the experience of having peer-reviewed research retracted after it revealed potential safety signals in the VAERS database.
Neil Miller recently had his peer-reviewed published work “removed” from the journal Toxicology Reports. It has been published for 5 years: since June 2021.
Five years! What’s that now? The smell of a Pubpeer rat? Could be.
The title of the paper is Vaccines and sudden infant death: An analysis of the VAERS database 1990-2019 and review of the medical literature, and you can find the abstract on PubMed.
The reason for the “removal” was that there were claimed “serious methodological flaws” according to the Editor-in-Chief of the journal. What were these methodological flaws, you ask? Well according to the excuse written on the journal’s site where the paper was once readable, these “flaws” revolved around the inability to “infer correlation” – NOT CAUSATION – between vaccination and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
