The report included 21 pages of survey findings, a description of the Methods used, annexes that included all the questions that were presented to cooperative members, an introduction and a discussion, the latter including an outline of five limitations of the survey. The report made clear that the survey design and data collection was conducted entirely independently of the analysis and reporting, which was also entirely unpaid. Together that amounts to saying the work was both independent and transparent, something we\u2019ve seen far too little of in vaccine research.<\/p>\n<p>Today at around midday UK time, I received a letter from ResearchGate letting me know the survey report had been removed from its website. It seems there is a different course of action when science that does not support the mainstream narrative is heard outside the echo chamber of those who\u2019ve exercised their right to refuse covid-19 \u2018vaccines\u2019. Yet another reminder of how censorship works in the post-covid world when research findings challenge the narrative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Rob Verkerk PhD, founder, scientific &amp; executive director, ANH-Intl Last week we\u00a0announced\u00a0we\u2019d analysed a sample of the survey data from over 300,000 people in 175 countries who had elected to not receive covid-19 vaccines as part of an initiative of the\u00a0Control Group Cooperative.
