“Brad Rodu and Nantaporn Plurphanswat have conducted a re-analysis of the paper on e-cigarette use and heart attacks by Bhatta & Glantz, published in and then eventually retracted by the Journal of the American Heart Association. Unsurprisingly, they confirmed Glantz’ study was a total sham. Now Brad Rodu and Nantaporn Plurphanswat have piled on further embarrassment for the disgraced authors of the retracted work by conducting a re-analysis of it. Rodu and Plurphanswat concluded: “Our re-analysis found that, when e-cigarette users were correctly classified, there was no evidence of a positive association between e-cigarette use and heart attack. Given the public health implications of this association, it is unfortunate that Bhatta & Glantz reported findings that turned out to be false.” The only question remaining unanswered is, given Glantz’ history of sexual harassment and academic malpractice, what will it take for the University of California San Francisco to terminate his contract?”
