Sir, on 12 January 2024 you published a letter from Messrs Mahmood et al.1
I have two issues.
On the first, you published this letter with the ‘due process' now required, that is a list of references, the subject matter of which had no clinical content.
On the second, the letter merely expressed personal opinions of a political nature, which I happen not to agree with.
My question is what is the point of the due process and references? Or is it instead the case that some personal opinions are worthy and others not?
