In Paul Thacker’s article for BMJ Investigation “Covid-19: Researcher blows the whistle on data integrity issues in Pfizer’s vaccine trial,” he outlined poor practices uncovered by a whistleblower at a research company that was contracted to conduct Pfizer’s covid-19 vaccine trial. In the article, questions were raised about the data’s integrity and oversight, and Dr. Fisher commented on the FDA’s role in overseeing clinical trials.
The BMJ investigation was picked up by CBS 17 News reporter Joedy McCreary who also interviewed Dr. Fisher for his story: “Fact check: Report questioning Pfizer trial shouldn’t undermine confidence in vaccines.”
