Had the study concluded "there’s nothing to see here", it would have been labeled as 'rigorous,' 'responsible,' 'informative,' and "showing a very clear safety profile". The modus operandi seems to be the same worldwide, big pharma and public autorities refuse to conduct controlled safety studies, and then attack any negative findings because "they never establish causality". Positive effects of vaccines are causal; negative effects are just correlational. That´s all you need to know for a prosperous professional career on "the science". It’s nothing new that researchers and journals publishing studies with negative outcomes are openly threatened with legal action. There is a good amount of self censorship throughout the chain from data to the editorial. Science is broken. Democracy is broken. Society is broken. Welcome to global techno-totalitarism. It´s gonna be hard and painful.
I tried to sign it to no avail. How often do we need to repeat, that journals are funded by pharma ergo we are lied to. This is a horrific situation. Why have any initiative to write truth when it’s just going to be attacked and made to retract?

It’s such a violation of academic freedom
If the study is wrong the the authorities need to demonstrate how. Trying to shut it down looks very dodgy.
I expect this case, or a similar situation, will eventually end up in court. It just needs someone with a big pocket to back it.
