This page says "and that healthy people could not spread the SARS-CoV-2 virus." while the source it lists says "In his speech, Yeadon says his 'favourite lie' is that people can transmit the virus without any symptoms, adding: 'I would say it’s somewhere between rare and doesn’t happen.'". These are clearly contradictory. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quadrivial ( talk • contribs) 14:15, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
Yeadon's claims that the COVID-19 pandemic was "effectively over" in the UK in October 2020 and that vaccines are unnecessary and harmful are rated "false" by the Associated Press, not to mention the vast body of observational evidence. Both AP articles state, "This is part of The Associated Press’ ongoing effort to fact-check misinformation that is shared widely online". Reuters explicitly calls Yeadon's statements "misinformation", and the paper by Sajjadi et al. strongly implies it.

First it is inflammatory to call somebody an "Anti-Vaxxer". Let's avoid potential dog whistle allegations, particularly if unsubstantiated. There are two provided sources for the claims: the first article referenced only talks about Covid-19 injections. But even more incongruous is the article which explicity states that Yeadon is not against all vaccines, his criticism and warnings only about the Covid vaccines. For example, it's outrageous to claim that someone who kneels at a Football Game is "Anti-Football". Maybe the person has a reason to kneel at a particular time for a given game, or a particular vaccine.
Politely suggest rephrasing the intro to correctly reflect the references provided, specifically limiting the distrust by Yeadon only to the Covid vax. Of course, if someone has a reliable source that says a man who made millions in Big Pharma is now against ALL of their vaccines, please provide it. That would genuinely be super significant. -- Knowsetfree ( talk) 23:45, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

Calling Mike Yeadon an "anti-vaxxer" is slander. It is also opinion, not fact, and therefore has no place in Wikipedia. It is also childish name-calling since that term has no well-defined meaning.
Mike Yeadon has been very clear that he makes a distinction between "traditional" vaccines (using an inert form of the pathogen) and the mRNA injections. He is also very clear that he believes traditional vaccinations to be extremely safe and effective, and that he and his own children have had vaccines.
His opinions, as described above, are clearly and unambiguously stated early in the video linked below: https://rumble.com/vrhe87-dr.-mike-yeadon-on-covid-vaccine-and-lies.html [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.174.205.153 ( talk) 20:55, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

"Dr. Daniel Nagase, a Canadian family physician, has falsely claimed that the vaccines are the cause of an 'increase in stillbirths' across Canada, with one birthing center in Vancouver having '13 stillbirths in a 24-hour period.' Conservative outlets are spreading Nagase’s unfounded claim." [1] "Some posts have highlighted miscarriages reported to vaccine-monitoring schemes, including the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) Yellow Card scheme in the UK and the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) in the US ... There were indeed miscarriages reported in these databases - they are unfortunately common events - but this does not mean the jab caused them. A study has found data showing the miscarriage rate among vaccinated people was in line with the rate expected in the general population - 12.5%." [2]
-- Sangdeboeuf ( talk) 21:11, 22 January 2022
The page has made a false claim in which the citation/reference does not prove/take you somewhere to show the claim is real. “ He has alleged that the vaccines cause recipients to become magnetic.[14]”
The reference just takes you to a page talking about human magnetism rather than proof of the claim Kiedog1996 ( talk) 09:27, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
Like Malone, Yeadon distanced himself from Telegram and has refused to confirm that an account on the platform under his name does belong to him. An account with his name and profile picture has shared the unscientific ideas that vaccination is dangerous because it causes magnetism, citing a 'study' done by a business student in Luxembourg who walked up to random people on the street and tried to stick magnets to them.-- Sangdeboeuf ( talk) 11:28, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
I just looked at this article today because someone sent me a copy of the article at beforeitsnews.com/strange/2021/10/mike-yeadon-timetable-to-tyranny-2478350.html (I can't wikilink that here because it is on a blacklisted site) bylined Mike Yeadon on Before It's News (which redirects to List of fake news websites, where it is listed). OK. I get it. Still, I'm amazed at the solid POV and the profligate use of the words misinformation and false in wikivoice here. To focus on one bit, the initial sentence in the Michael Yeadon#COVID-19 misinformation section reading "Yeadon falsely claimed that the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom was "effectively over" in October 2020,[1][2]" could, IMO, be better stated saying incorrectly instead of falsely, and falsely might be a bit WP:POV and WP:OR. (for that matter is incorrectly universally supported? Are there no RSs asserting contrary views? If there are, perhaps WP:DUE should come into play here.) I have not done more than glance at the sources cited in support there, but I'm not sure that the support in the cited sources for falsely is solid. Don't take that as an endorsement from me of anything Yeardon has asserted, but do take the gist of all of that and apply it to the entire article as my off-the-cuff POV.

Leaving aside the controversial nature of the subject's views for a moment, I think the article would benefit from more of the usual biographical material such as age, date and place of birth, early life, fuller educational credentials, family and career etc. Also a full list of scientific publications, if any, other than the single one listed would be helpful.

You aren’t citing primary sources. If you want to say something is unfounded, you don’t point to a news article. You go to the news article, you find the statement of fact within it, and cite that as the primary source. Carpedm333 ( talk) 08:16, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
It is not appropriate to say “falsely claims.” The word “claim” implies uncertainty. Furthermore, it is inappropriate to similarly say “claims without evidence.” Take this article: Yeadon makes several controversial claims and presents evidence to back those claims. The evidence may be thin our flatly incorrect, but to say he makes claims “without evidence” is nonsense. Carpedm333 ( talk) 08:21, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
I notice a trend in Wikipedia articles overusing the word "falsely." I strongly suspect it's bias to ensure ideas are discredited, unfortunately. I'm a novice on on NPOV, so I defer to the community. In this case, it doesn't seem to make sense, by definition, since a suggestion is putting forth an idea as a possibility. I'd offer it be changed "falsely claiming" or "suggested."

I can see this is an emotionally charged article in a sense. I have the CDC article that states that masks are not effective as claimed by some sources. I printed it out at the time and kept the downloaded file. I believe this item is not accurately presented in the article.

Dr Mike Yeadon. is the most senior, former “big pharma” & biotech research executive speaking out about several serious crimes in relation to what Dr Mike Yeadon calls the “Covid era”.
Dr Mike Yeadon's original training was in Biochemistry & Toxicology, in which he was awarded the strongest first class joint honours degree that the School of Biomedical Sciences had ever awarded at the time (1U85, University of Surrey).
Part of Dr Mike Yeadon undergraduate training involved research placements at the Chemical Defence Establishment, Porton Down [1], Wiltshire [2], where he was a small cog in the long term development of injected antidotes for nerve gas poisoning to protect British troops. He also worked at the then Central Laboratory of the Forensic Sciences Service [3], Aldermaston [4], Berkshire [5], adjacent to the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment [6].
While with the Forensic Science Service [7], he received training on several precision analytical methods including mass spectrometry [8], then a highly technically complex method.
Dr Mike Yeadon had security clearance for both establishments. Porton Down [9], then as now, is a top security facility with an international reputation.
Dr Mike Yeadon PhD, in the field of Pharmacology was “On the effect of opiates on respiratory function” [10], [11] (1U88) and this was sponsored by the MOD.
After securing his PhD, that gave him a sound training in several additional subdisciplines of biology, chemistry & drug metabolism, and Dr Mike Yeadon then joined the pharmaceutical industry [12].
He spent 24 years with “big pharma”, starting at Wellcome Research Laboratories [13], Dr. Yeadon worked with Salvador Moncada [14] with a research focus on airway hyper-responsiveness and effects of pollutants including ozone and working in drug discovery of 5-LO, COX, PAF, NO and lung inflammation. With colleagues, he was the first to detect exhaled NO in animals and later to induce NOS in lung via allergic triggers. Dr Mike Yeadon PhD also briefly worked alongside a Dr Patrick Vallance [15] (who became Chief Scientific Advisor to the British Government).
For the longest period, Dr Mike Yeadon was in charge of Pfizer’s global research in the field of Allergic & Respiratory Disease Therapeutics.
Dr Mike Yeadon left Pfizer in 2011, having reached the level of Vice President, because the company had decided to exit their large R&D base in Kent.
Dr Mike Yeadon sought to find new homes for the portfolio of exploratory medicines Dr Mike Yeadon had helped create & was gratified that Mylan U.K. Ltd [16], the world’s second largest generics company, acquired much of my former portfolio soon after Dr Mike Yeadon had left.
Dr Mike Yeadon later founded & led as CEO a highly successful biotechnology company, Ziarco Pharma Ltd [17]. Pfizer and four other venture capital firms were investors in his company, which was acquired by Novartis Pharmaceuticals [18], in 2017.
Dr Mike Yeadon accomplishments are considered by some to have been unusual. So much so that a former Pfizer board member & previously worldwide head of R&D, Dr John LaMattina [19], wrote up my last venture in Forbes, a leading business magazine (February 2017). [20]
To summarize Dr Mike Yeadon, acquired a very strong training in multiple disciplines and over 30 years leadership experience in the field of inventing and testing new medicines for respiratory illnesses. Dr Mike Yeadon has an excellent analytical background equal of anyone advising the government in science.
Dr Mike Yeadon has no history of “conspiracy theory” or political campaigns or protests. He states he is not aware of making a single public comment on anything prior to 2020.
It is irrefutable Dr Mike Yeadon accomplishments in applied biomedical sciences qualify him to be taken seriously. 2001:8003:9111:4600:6185:EDA7:D3DC:C9A9 ( talk) 02:51, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

"Dr. Daniel Nagase, a Canadian family physician, has falsely claimed that the vaccines are the cause of an 'increase in stillbirths' across Canada, with one birthing center in Vancouver having '13 stillbirths in a 24-hour period.' Conservative outlets are spreading Nagase’s unfounded claim." [1] "Some posts have highlighted miscarriages reported to vaccine-monitoring schemes, including the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) Yellow Card scheme in the UK and the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) in the US ... There were indeed miscarriages reported in these databases - they are unfortunately common events - but this does not mean the jab caused them. A study has found data showing the miscarriage rate among vaccinated people was in line with the rate expected in the general population - 12.5%." [2]

The page has made a false claim in which the citation/reference does not prove/take you somewhere to show the claim is real. “ He has alleged that the vaccines cause recipients to become magnetic.[14]”
The reference just takes you to a page talking about human magnetism rather than proof of the claim Kiedog1996 ( talk) 09:27, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
Like Malone, Yeadon distanced himself from Telegram and has refused to confirm that an account on the platform under his name does belong to him. An account with his name and profile picture has shared the unscientific ideas that vaccination is dangerous because it causes magnetism, citing a 'study' done by a business student in Luxembourg who walked up to random people on the street and tried to stick magnets to them.-- Sangdeboeuf ( talk) 11:28, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
I just looked at this article today because someone sent me a copy of the article at beforeitsnews.com/strange/2021/10/mike-yeadon-timetable-to-tyranny-2478350.html (I can't wikilink that here because it is on a blacklisted site) bylined Mike Yeadon on Before It's News (which redirects to List of fake news websites, where it is listed). OK. I get it. Still, I'm amazed at the solid POV and the profligate use of the words misinformation and false in wikivoice here. To focus on one bit, the initial sentence in the Michael Yeadon#COVID-19 misinformation section reading "Yeadon falsely claimed that the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom was "effectively over" in October 2020,[1][2]" could, IMO, be better stated saying incorrectly instead of falsely, and falsely might be a bit WP:POV and WP:OR. (for that matter is incorrectly universally supported? Are there no RSs asserting contrary views? If there are, perhaps WP:DUE should come into play here.) I have not done more than glance at the sources cited in support there, but I'm not sure that the support in the cited sources for falsely is solid. Don't take that as an endorsement from me of anything Yeardon has asserted, but do take the gist of all of that and apply it to the entire article as my off-the-cuff POV.

I have not done more than glanceat your comment, but I'm not sure that your argument is solid. Feel free to contribute when you have more than an
off-the-cuff POV. -- Sangdeboeuf ( talk) 01:53, 29 January 2022 (UTC) edited 22:17, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
Leaving aside the controversial nature of the subject's views for a moment, I think the article would benefit from more of the usual biographical material such as age, date and place of birth, early life, fuller educational credentials, family and career etc. Also a full list of scientific publications, if any, other than the single one listed would be helpful.
There seems some biographical information scattered in this link: https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/health-coronavirus-vaccines-skeptic/ FurnaldHall ( talk) 06:55, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

You aren’t citing primary sources. If you want to say something is unfounded, you don’t point to a news article. You go to the news article, you find the statement of fact within it, and cite that as the primary source. Carpedm333 ( talk) 08:16, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
It is not appropriate to say “falsely claims.” The word “claim” implies uncertainty. Furthermore, it is inappropriate to similarly say “claims without evidence.” Take this article: Yeadon makes several controversial claims and presents evidence to back those claims. The evidence may be thin our flatly incorrect, but to say he makes claims “without evidence” is nonsense. Carpedm333 ( talk) 08:21, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
I notice a trend in Wikipedia articles overusing the word "falsely." I strongly suspect it's bias to ensure ideas are discredited, unfortunately. I'm a novice on on NPOV, so I defer to the community. In this case, it doesn't seem to make sense, by definition, since a suggestion is putting forth an idea as a possibility. I'd offer it be changed "falsely claiming" or "suggested."

I can see this is an emotionally charged article in a sense. I have the CDC article that states that masks are not effective as claimed by some sources. I printed it out at the time and kept the downloaded file. I believe this item is not accurately presented in the article. If I were to do an edit and cite this article (assuming this article is not ‘protected’) will it remain in the article? I’d rather not spend time doing so for naught. Thanks!

I have the CDC articleWhen was that written? Early 2020, when the CDC was under the thumb of Drumb? -- Hob Gadling ( talk) 05:47, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
Face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic, not a biography of Yeadon. See also WP:SYNTH. — Sangdeboeuf ( talk) 01:03, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Dr Mike Yeadon. is the most senior, former “big pharma” & biotech research executive speaking out about several serious crimes in relation to what Dr Mike Yeadon calls the “Covid era”.
Dr Mike Yeadon's original training was in Biochemistry & Toxicology, in which he was awarded the strongest first class joint honours degree that the School of Biomedical Sciences had ever awarded at the time (1U85, University of Surrey).
Part of Dr Mike Yeadon undergraduate training involved research placements at the Chemical Defence Establishment, Porton Down [1], Wiltshire [2], where he was a small cog in the long term development of injected antidotes for nerve gas poisoning to protect British troops. He also worked at the then Central Laboratory of the Forensic Sciences Service [3], Aldermaston [4], Berkshire [5], adjacent to the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment [6].
While with the Forensic Science Service [7], he received training on several precision analytical methods including mass spectrometry [8], then a highly technically complex method.
Dr Mike Yeadon had security clearance for both establishments. Porton Down [9], then as now, is a top security facility with an international reputation.
Dr Mike Yeadon PhD, in the field of Pharmacology was “On the effect of opiates on respiratory function” [10], [11] (1U88) and this was sponsored by the MOD.
After securing his PhD, that gave him a sound training in several additional subdisciplines of biology, chemistry & drug metabolism, and Dr Mike Yeadon then joined the pharmaceutical industry [12].
He spent 24 years with “big pharma”, starting at Wellcome Research Laboratories [13], Dr. Yeadon worked with Salvador Moncada [14] with a research focus on airway hyper-responsiveness and effects of pollutants including ozone and working in drug discovery of 5-LO, COX, PAF, NO and lung inflammation. With colleagues, he was the first to detect exhaled NO in animals and later to induce NOS in lung via allergic triggers. Dr Mike Yeadon PhD also briefly worked alongside a Dr Patrick Vallance [15] (who became Chief Scientific Advisor to the British Government).
For the longest period, Dr Mike Yeadon was in charge of Pfizer’s global research in the field of Allergic & Respiratory Disease Therapeutics.
Dr Mike Yeadon left Pfizer in 2011, having reached the level of Vice President, because the company had decided to exit their large R&D base in Kent.
Dr Mike Yeadon sought to find new homes for the portfolio of exploratory medicines Dr Mike Yeadon had helped create & was gratified that Mylan U.K. Ltd [16], the world’s second largest generics company, acquired much of my former portfolio soon after Dr Mike Yeadon had left.
Dr Mike Yeadon later founded & led as CEO a highly successful biotechnology company, Ziarco Pharma Ltd [17]. Pfizer and four other venture capital firms were investors in his company, which was acquired by Novartis Pharmaceuticals [18], in 2017.
Dr Mike Yeadon accomplishments are considered by some to have been unusual. So much so that a former Pfizer board member & previously worldwide head of R&D, Dr John LaMattina [19], wrote up my last venture in Forbes, a leading business magazine (February 2017). [20]
To summarize Dr Mike Yeadon, acquired a very strong training in multiple disciplines and over 30 years leadership experience in the field of inventing and testing new medicines for respiratory illnesses. Dr Mike Yeadon has an excellent analytical background equal of anyone advising the government in science.
Dr Mike Yeadon has no history of “conspiracy theory” or political campaigns or protests. He states he is not aware of making a single public comment on anything prior to 2020.
It is irrefutable Dr Mike Yeadon accomplishments in applied biomedical sciences qualify him to be taken seriously. 2001:8003:9111:4600:6185:EDA7:D3DC:C9A9 ( talk) 02:51, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
