Regarding the review article about the WHO tetanus vaccine controversy, it was John W. Oller, the lead author of the article, who withdrew it and one other article that he had submitted to the same journal, and that other article did not have anything to do with vaccines.

After editorial concerns about the tetanus vaccine article were addressed, it was John W. Oller who resubmitted the tetanus vaccine article and his other article. The vaccine article was then published and it is still being published (please click on the link to confirm that).

You added a sentence to the end of the paragraph that I wrote. The sentence that you added is inaccurate. Please remove the sentence that you added.

I've tweaked that sentence. I removed the WaPo article you added, as it doesn't discuss shaw.
Articles about scientists are not "book reports" where we describe some paper they wrote, and then cite the paper itself; there is no end to that. if some paper is singled out there needs to be a secondary source about that paper. The only secondary source I am aware of about that 2014 paper is retraction watch. Are you aware of any others? Jytdog (talk) 09:47, 16 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
Off-topic comment, but if the controversy section is staying, it needs to get in the lead per WP:LEAD. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 12:15, 16 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
