One of Britain’s top medical journals, the BMJ, is facing backlash from scientists and doctors for publishing a series of articles authored by members of the self-appointed, pro-restriction Independent SAGE group.
The Editors of the BMJ and the Health Service Journal have said the "pandemic is far from over" and an immediate return to work from home, masks, gathering limits and free testing is needed to save the "dying" NHS.
A new paper by BMJ Editor Dr Peter Doshi has analysed data from the Pfizer and Moderna Covid vaccine trials and found that the vaccines are more likely to put you in hospital than keep you out.
Medicine has been corrupted by the corporate interests of large companies, which suppress negative trial results, conceal adverse effects and do not share raw data, according to a peer-reviewed article in the BMJ.

The BMJ has published a clumsy and very belated hit piece against the Great Barrington Declaration, which relies on ad hominem, guilt by association and appeals to authority. Read this point-by-point response.
