Antivaxxers fooled by P-Hacking and apples to oranges comparisons.
A number of antivaxxers, including Dr Jordan B Peterson and Toby Young, are claiming that a non-peer reviewed preprint co-authored by BMJ editor, Peter Doshi, shows that vaccines cause more harm than good. The preprint doesn’t show that. In fact, it doesn’t really show anything at all. In this video, Dr Susan Oliver, assisted by Cindy the dog, go back to the science to reveal that the authors use P-Hacking combined with apples to oranges comparisons to fool people into thinking a significant effect has occurred when it really hasn't.

Professor Norman Fenton has now weighed in with a so-called debunking of my video. Please see the following rebuttal of his claims:
