Here is a good example of being actively targeted in the last two weeks by @PubPeer for a paper my lab published in 1998. The concern was just raised in 2024 but then PubPeer took down the link. This is not appropriate and also the journal @oncogenejournal is giving a deadline of 2 weeks to respond. There is no "Peer" in "PubPeer" and the selective targeting of scientists for what maybe a political agenda some of which is public raises concerns. PubPeer insinuates things that are damaging the reputation of scientists such as fraud, misconduct, data manipulation, lack of integrity and they do it publicly and anonymously. They go further by piling on concerns with no attention to whether the concerns have merit, whether they have any impact on results, whether the concerns are legitimate. They are doing this in an anonymous way seemingly with no accountability for the damage they are causing. They are targeting who they wish to target. There is no statute of limitations apparently. Any response that questions their authority or motives is met with "why don't you just respond to concerns" or "your response raises red flags." They do not take into account the passage of time, the movement of labs to different institutions, the movement of researchers including out of science altogether, or the need for time, effort, and money to properly address any concerns. Journals and publishers have not weighed in on statute of limitations, changes in how the field views data in 2024 vs 1998, or the process by which PubPeer conducts itself. What PubPeer is doing, in my opinion, defines academic terrorism, blackmail, defamation, and lack of due process and this is done by an anonymous mob that is unregulated. @Nature @MicrobiomDigest @oracknows @NIH @NIHDirector @theNCI @P_J_Buckhaults @DrJBhattacharya @HHS_ORI @theNAMedicine @ScienceMagazine





After reviewing cause of death data from the untimely death of @LindseyGrahamSC we reviewed VAERS data for aortic dissection, as a few of us predicted endothelial destruction, especially in cardiac vessels. There is only 1 single record of Aortic Dissection precovid in 2009. Thanks for the dataset and graphs @OpenVAERS ❤️
