Is she really qualified? (Score 2)

This article was written by a 2nd year PHD student and home birth advocate. Not a doctor or researcher, why should we care what she is saying? From her wikipedia page: "As of 1994, Bastian had no formal qualifications. However, she became interested in consumer activism and science, particularly related to health. She commenced doctoral research in 2018 into aspects of authorship and content of systematic reviews supervised by Paul Glasziou and Chris Del Mar.[1]" I am sure that she is an intelligent person and has an opinion worth listening to but I would not put a lot of stock into what she is saying. She not a virologist and does not have any specialty towards the subject. her publications: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-85... consist mostly of meta-analysis, analyzing pubmed articles and topics pertaining to consumer affairs. Not virology, epidemiology or really anything to do with disease control and vaccinations.
