The entire thing sounds like something you'd hear from the local town gossip; rumor and innuendo with no mention of the validity of the charges. Nowhere in the entire screed has the author addressed the methodology, rigor or process used by BMJ, which is the only standard by which their results should be measured.  Just because some members of the team may have in the past received money from 'the industry' does NOT mean that they are forever in lock-step with the beliefs and priorities of that industry.  Each reader should ask themselves: "Do I now, and have I always agreed 100% with everything the company I work for does/says/believes? Will I always agree with them in the future until the day I die?"

By all means, question BMJs methods and processes. If they aren't repeatable, or if they're found to be unfit, then feel free to ridicule and denigrate the results. But insinuating that they’re tainted by association proves nothing and just shows the incompetence of this author and the WHO supporters.<br/><br/>
