Fiction Disguised as Science to Promote Hatred

Here's a CTV News headline to warm the cockles of certain hearts:  

“Being with unvaccinated people increases COVID-19 risk for those who are vaccinated: modelling study”

This revelation is derived from a peer-reviewed article by Dr. David Fisman, Dr. Ashleigh Tuite, and a graduate student, published April 25 of this year in the journal of the Canadian Medical Association.  

That CMAJ article is reviewed by an associate professor of viral immunology at the University of Guelph, Dr. Bryam Bridle.  Bridle objects to the polarization promoted by Fisman's publication, but his objections go deeper than that.  They get to the gist--and some of the specifics--of agenda-driven pseudoscience. 

Interesting reading showing ways by which the unwary can be ever-so-gently misled.
