I cannot recommend that article. Science exists in a realm of science, just because a major medical organisation is misunderstood dosen't make them 'antivaxxers'. BMJ is asking for open data, something I think many people here could utilise and find value in.

What does this mean? That article is very specific, and is not sensational. He's been complaining about the BMJ for some time, and not just about these vaccines.

edit: open data is fine and good. The BMJ demanding it here is intentional sensationalism and part of a continuing pattern.

Incidentally, emember that antivax wasn't even a thing until The Lancet unleashed it on the world. Journals are often badly behaved in order to make headlines.
