It's a documentary, not a scientific paper. Why would they give you source data?

I'd trust the scientist with years of expertise over the denials of every company.

The parallels are eerily similar with the sunscreen fiasco, where all the companies caught with vastly lower SPF factors than they claimed, all denied it, and claimed the Choice testing was wrong or invalid. Then, one by one, they fessed up, and blamed it on suppliers, their own testing and everyone else except themselves.

Guy sounds like an anti vaxer/ home scientist...where's the source data. I want to do my own analysis of it to find the truth they are hiding.

Bloke sounds the opposite to me. This article could have been funded by woolies and SPC for all we know

Probably not Woolies as they were caught passing cage eggs as free range by the article.

Nope, just an engineer who has seen similar methods fail hilariously when the trying to extrapolate from a limited datasets.

When the only data supplied is opaque guarantees from a private company that profits from enticing more interest in their services, they need to state clearly how they came to make those guarantees.
