Read the blistering letter from the editors of one of world's most prestigious scientific journals, slamming one of Facebook's fact-checkers as "inaccurate, incompetent and irresponsible" | Not the Bee

This kind of thing doesn't happen every day.

"The editors of the BMJ—one of the oldest and most respected scientific journals in the world—have issued a blistering letter slamming Facebook for one of its "fact-checking" partners the editors are calling "inaccurate, incompetent and irresponsible."

At issue is the BMJ's publishing of a report on "internal company documents, photos, audio recordings, and emails" it received from an employee who had worked for a subcontractor of Pfizer during the company's COVID-19 vaccine trials.
The materials "revealed a host of poor clinical trial research practices occurring at Ventavia that could impact data integrity and patient safety," the editors claim.
After the magazine published the report on the findings, however, readers of the BMJ "began reporting a variety of problems when trying to share [the] article" on Facebook. 

Those issues were traced to a "fact check" performed by a Facebook partner, a check the editors deemed "inaccurate, incompetent and irresponsible."
Here's the whole letter. Read it to the end; it's a thunderclap...Read all!
