What is the probability that .@sarahjestock - who is the Program Director of @WellcomeLeap - should be randomly the corresponding author on a paper that she didn't write, relating to datasets that can't be audited, showing "no pregnancy problems with mRNA vaccines"?

Except when she declares conflicts of interest.
It's hit and miss, you see. When it's a pregnancy in vaccine paper there are no conflicts of interest. When it's another paper, we'll declare them but they aren't really conflicts because they are just Pharma so that's fine

This is how it works.
Your hospital signs you up to an overseas EMR (health record) corporation.
They get your health data.
You get zip.
That data is used to generate artificial study data that promotes a drug, and Pharma makes $billions.

What, you didn't know?
It's written in the T&C. Right at the bottom of a 4,400 word disclaimer.

Now comes the smart part.
Usually @NEJM or @thelancet are involved.
A noob medic comes along with a first author paper from a massive collaboration of people who don't know each other.
The noob puts together an analysis of a 900,000+ patient cohort. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32864627/
