Suspected COVID in Vaccine Trials Was Not Counted

Writing in The BMJ Opinion blog, associate editor Peter Doshi calls for more information and details from the raw data that the two current COVID-19 vaccine makers, Moderna and Pfizer, did not report.

Homing in on what the drug companies classified as “suspected COVID” but not counted because they were not PCR test-confirmed, Doshi says: “With 20 times more suspected than confirmed cases, this category of disease cannot be ignored simply because there was no positive PCR test result. Indeed, this makes it all the more urgent to understand.”
