The article in the OP is from Volume 2 Issue 2 of the Publication.
This is a prior release from the publication regarding material for its production.
"Call for papers Volume 2, Issue 2, COVID Aftermath
2022-04-28
In IJVTPR Volume 2 Issue number 2, we continue the critical examination of ingredients in vaccines, especially focusing on the COVID-19 genetic "therapies" that aim to directly impact the genomes of human biophysical systems. While Yuval Noah Harari and others associated with the "Great Reset" claim they can "hack the human genome" and thus have the power to monitor and, through a system of cryptocurrency, to control the buying and selling of every person on the planet, the level of their "reading" of the billions of base-pairs in the human genome by relying on their current knowledge of the "genetic code" is something like claiming to understand Greek texts based on knowledge of the Greek alphabet. Their superficial understanding of genetics, reflected in the medical/pharmaceutical/government hegemony, is what got us the Epidemic NCDs (noncommunicable chronic diseases/disorders) dealt with in IJVTPR Volume 2 Issue 1. Those exploding disorders and ones related to them are what Childrens Health Defense is all about. For the IJVTPR, see a bit of the backstory in The Defender.
Now, as the COVID-19 experimental genetic engineering continues to expand not merely to tens of millions of people, but to billions --- people being injected with materials designed to produce the spike protein of the weaponized COVID virus (see Fleming 2021), and perhaps to do a great deal more in view of the strange ingredients (see Lee et al., 2022) and "side effects" (Seneff et al., 2022) that are being discovered --- the present call for papers aims to focus on the "COVID Aftermath".
The scope of the former noninfectious chronic diseases/disorders of Volume 2 Issue 1 has been expanded by the "gain of function" engineering that brought about SARS-CoV-2 and its variants. As a result of the fruits of that bioweapons research, the distinction between "infectious" and "noncommunicable" conditions leading to many disorders, diseases, and a 40% upsurge in "All Cause Mortality in the United States During 2021" seems to have been obliterated. Hear Michael Yeadon, PhD in pharmacology, former VP and Chief Scientific Officer at Pfizer Global R&D for 17 years, discuss what he calls "The COVID Lies" that have brought us the COVID health and economic disaster. With all that in mind, the current call is for scientific papers about the theory, practice, and research into known and suspected outcomes of the world-wide COVID genetic engineering experiment still underway, and more particularly, what can be done to avoid, reduce, or perhaps alleviate the looming effects of death and illness as we face up to the "COVID Aftermath".
Now I'm not qualified to make comment on this apparently but as a layman I'd say that the above reads a lot like a conspiracy post that would be more suited to the boards of ATS than a reputable scientific journal.
Or am I expecting too much from the world of scientific journalism in the year 2022?

Not sure where you got that from but it's false/out of date info.
There's 1000s of peer reviewed journals. Impact factors are used as measures of credibility of scientific journals, Beall's list and similar - there's a list of credibile ones here:
Top 100 ranking journals
Fake journals, like this one, are a major problem in research and academia. Anyone working on or writing papers in the last 20 years will have been trained in the warning signs to look out for. Though this one is a lot more obvious than most.
This 'journal' is politics and conspiracy theory masquereding as scientific papers - it's authors do their own peer reviews, has no impact factor, has never been referenced, is a known predatory publisher and is run by known hoaxer, John Oller (has a long line of made up anti-vax claims from MMR jabs cause Autism to Tetanus jabs are to make everyone sterile as part of NWO depopulation agenda.
There's plenty of open access non-predatory publishers for paper authors to submit their work to - submiting a scientific paper to a 'science journal' that cites the Bible as references, claims covid vaccines are mind conrtol by the devil etc... shows the original authors have failed to conduct basic five minutes background reading/research before paying the $300 submission fee which should raise red flags in anyone.

Just as a single example the the PHD only came up as you seemed to believe it was a requirement to question the study (in fact the opposite of rednecks argument).
Obviously you are having comprehension difficulties.
Let me re-quote the applicable part about the PhD:
originally posted by: Asmodeus3
A classical example is what happened a few days ago when a very famous cardiologist Dr Akeem Malhotra has suggested that the vaccination program should pause at a global level because there are serious questions and concerns regarding vaccine safety. It looks from the conclusions there is a greater risk of serious adverse reactions from the vaccine rather than hospitalised due to Covid.
...
The reaction was expectable to be honest. Dr Malhotra was accused of bias, was branded a quack, a conspiracy theorist, and a crackpot, as well as being irresponsible and not a good scientist. Later on the argument expanded to whether Dr Malhotra had a PhD?! and finally the argument was made that the journal is obscure and of very low quality (whatever this means).
Asmodeus3 did not state that a doctor had to have a PhD to peer review anything. He stated that Dr. Malhotra was accused of not having a PhD in the ensuing argument that stemmed from his stated but anti-establishment position, published in a journal paper, concerning the vaccinations.
The point is that a PhD was not even required for him to be considered an expert in the field. As far as that goes, an MD was not required, as long as he had the ability to understand the principles (he did, of course, have an MD). He wasn't even publishing a peer review; this was an original study. My argument was about peer review.
Somehow you twisted that in your head to mean the exact opposite of what was stated. I'd say that renders your "opinions" (read: regurgitated MSM propaganda) pretty much moot.
One aspect of the Scientific Method I failed to mention is demonstrated quite clearly in your response: when someone publishes papers and reviews which are constantly shot down through peer review, their future publishing abilities become quite restricted. No journal wants papers from someone who is consistently wrong (which is why researchers strive to ensure their studies are accurate). Were you in that same position, based on how many obvious errors in simple reading comprehension you have demonstrated in the last few pages, you couldn't get published in a rest room magazine.
Unfortunately, that principle does not apply to Internet forums... another reason researchers prefer scientific journals. You can make as many ignorant statements as you wish and continue posting like nothing ever happened. The good news on that is that those reading your obvious clap-trap soon figure out you have nothing to offer in the way of actual information.
I feel a part of my purpose as a member of this forum is to point out your flaws so others who read your posts understand quickly that your statements are unreliable and often completely wrong. Thankfully, you make that responsibility quite easy to fulfill.

No you asked if I had one and were incredulous when I asked if the author had one, you believed he had one based on him being a cardiologist.
Are you actually denying that it was you who brought up PHDs in that threat?
I have already shown you this isn't the case in numerous posts and Redneck has also answered to you in the post above. If you don't get it then I can't do anything about it.
However you could reflect on the arguments you have presented together with other members who in the absence of any evidence and driven by political ideologies and beliefs you all had no issue calling scientists as irresponsible, biased, charlatans, quacks and crackpots, as their research and professional opinion don't fit your vaccine ideology and political ideology. At the same time attacking the journal and brand it as obscure and the editorial team as irrelevant and of low quality.
This is why these arguments are self-defeating having no value or weight.

To clarify.
The article I quoted is something I would expect someone such as yourself to say on ATS.
It is not something I would expect from professionals and academics.
I shall alter my expectations of the scientific world.

You can resolve this easily by linking to the thread you were claiming this as happened in.
Let's see who brought up PHDs

Have you ever actually gone through the process of trying to get a paper published?
I have. It was turned down, but at least I have submitted papers to scientific journals before. I have contributed to multiple papers. Of course, you probably believe IEEE is a "fake journal" as well.

Still no link.
You brought up PHD as an attempt to delegitimise criticism of the article and failed to understand that the author didn't have a PHD either.

Not at all. We have discussed this before. You can criticise the paper and the research but you need to have knowledge to do so. By your won admission you have no knowledge or experience that's why you started the personal attacks against Dr Malhotra together with other users, calling him irresponsible, biased, quack, charlatan, crackpot. That's very different from criticising his paper.
I wasn't aware what qualifications Dr Malhotra has. and didn't say that he had a PhD.
Your criticisms are personal attacks mainly and I have refuted all of them.

You misunderstand yet again.
I have a great deal of time for the redneck, his manner is exemplary most of the time and he has shown a lot of knowledge and wisdom in the times I have seen and conversed with him on ATS.
I question your academic abilities however as you seem to lack some very basic skills and knowledge that you would expect to see in someone with such a background.
You also struggle to converse without resorting to childish remarks and insults.
I don't think you have any academic background of substance given my interaction with you.

What link are you wanting.
I'll find it for you, I'm a dab hand with a keyboard and an internet connection and as luck would have it I have both right here.
