Noget af det letteste i verden er at dokumentere at vaccineforskere er i lommen på medicinalindustrien. Her er et lille bitte eksempel.
Jeg sad lige og gravede lidt i Henrik Ullums CV. Du ved, ham der er topboss for Statens Serum Institut.
Den øverste udgivelse på publikationslisten er ‘Effect of Influenza Vaccination on Risk of Coronavirus Disease 2019: A Prospective Cohort Study of 46 000 Healthcare Workers‘.
Det mest påfaldende ved den artikel er det, der står til allersidst under ‘Potential conflicts of interest’.
Det er altså lidt skørt at læse, men her er hele teksten (jeg har fremhævet navnene på medicinalvirksomheder):
“H. B. received lecture fee from BMS. F. F. received research grants from the Novo Nordisk Foundation and the Laerdal Foundation. M. G.-B. reports working as an unpaid chairman for the Committee for Transfusion Medicine, Danish Society for Clinical Immunology. A. D. K. received a research grant from the Danish Heart Foundation. T.

25 gange bliver et navn på medicinalfirma nævnt! Og så forventer forfatterne og tidsskriften, at vi skal betragte det som videnskab og ikke som PR. Ha ha ha. 🙂
