- He's a scientific fraud. I know Wikipedia is very cautious about saying this in biographies of living people, but now that the Cochrane editor is saying it... 74.69.172.76 (talk) 02:52, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- The Cochrane editors don't say specifically who they're condemning for misreporting the conclusions of the study, but it's Tom Jefferson they're condemning. His quotes misreporting the study, which they had to respond to are here.

- I'm not sure the best way to put this in Wikipedia, but the only thing which makes Tom Jefferson notable is his role in this fraud. 74.69.172.76 (talk) 02:56, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
