I strongly object to the publication of articles such as“ Schizophrenia Risk Linked to Flu Virus Exposure” that report findings from a study that has not yet been peer reviewed for publication in a scientific journal. Investigators have for more than a hundred years looked for physical cause factors in schizophrenia, and they have, like this study, produced correlational data with no consideration of intermediate or intercurrent variables.
The matter of causal factors in schizophrenia is too important to raise false hopes on the basis of inadequately evaluated research.
