Author Of Study Used To Vilify Unvaxed Had Ties To Pfizer.

"A new peer-reviewed study re-examined the mathematical models used to justify policies that barred unvaccinated people from public venues. The study conducted by researchers Joseph Hickey, Ph.D., and Denis Rancourt, Ph.D., found the models were not only based on the application of flawed mathematical risk models," but also that the author of a key study, David Fisman, had ties to Pfizer and other vaccine manufacturers.

A peer-reviewed study published last week in Cureus shows that a key April 2022 study by Fisman et al.

Dr. David Fisman, a University of Toronto epidemiologist was the lead author of the April 2022 study, published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, which the authors said showed that unvaccinated people posed a disproportionate risk to vaccinated people.

In the new study published last week, Joseph Hickey, Ph.D., and Denis Rancourt, Ph.D., show that Fisman's "Susceptible-infectious-recovered" model, used to draw his conclusions, had a glaring flaw in one of its key parameters - contact frequency.

"We cannot recommend that SIR modelling be used to motivate or justify segregation policies regarding viral respiratory diseases, in the present state of knowledge," the study concluded.

Fisman publicly advocated for vaccine mandates and passports and told reporters the impetus behind the modeling study was not a scientific question of the effects of segregation on infection rates, but the political question of, "What are the rights of vaccinated people to be protected from unvaccinated people?".

A few days after the study was published, the parliamentary secretary to the Ontario Ministry of Health used the study to defend proposed travel restrictions, Watteel showed in her book.
