This morning Revere over at Effect Measure takes a long look though epidemiologist’s eyes at the recently published study on childhood flu vaccinations and community `herd immunity’.
More importantly, he looks at some of the myriad difficulties involved in conducting randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
It’s a fascinating read. Highly recommended.
