More questions than answers in critique of poll

Dear Editor,

In ‘Concerned about poll published in SN’ (May 9), Dr Anand Persaud’s questions about why the findings of the NACTA poll were published in Guyana and not published in academic journals as well as a few other comments took me by surprise. The gentleman passed judgment and made conclusions on the poll without offering any evidence to back his claims.

As “a life science specialist,” I thought Persaud would be professional in his critique of the poll and not pass value judgments.
