Fisman et al. (2022, 2024) concocted a parameter, which they denote Psi (the Greek letter, ψ). They applied their concocted Psi to incorrectly claim that the risk of infection with COVID-19 to the vaccinated is Psi-fold disproportionately due to the unvaccinated.

Their Psi parameter is mathematically ill-defined, artificially large by its design, and varies in directions contrary to what is physically possible. It is an absurd quantity introduced ad hoc, having no epidemiological basis.

With my co-author Joseph Hickey, PhD, we rigorously proved that the Fisman et al. parameter Psi is nonsense, and we showed that its application can cause harm in society. We made our proof and demonstration in this detailed report:

Virtually all peer reviewed medical journals have been coopted and compromised, particularly those owned by the WEF partner publishing houses Elsevier and Springer/Nature (see the prior essay “Disease X and the Corrupt Lancet” for further details). Relevant to this point was the recent reveal during the Dr. Peter Daszak public testimony in the US Congress that both the Lancet (published by Elsevier) and Nature (Springer) have refused to testify in response to specific congressional requests.
