It has been revealed that a large portion of those "doctors" are not practicing medical doctors. Investigative journalist Jordan Schachtel reported that out of the more than 270 doctors that signed the letter, just roughly 100 of those who signed are people with qualified medical degrees.
"As physicians, we bear the arduous weight of a pandemic that has stretched our medical systems to their limits and only stands to be exacerbated by the anti-vaccination sentiment woven into this and other episodes of Rogan's podcast," the open letter states. "Well, I reviewed this open letter, and it turns out that only around 100 of the 270+ signatories to the letter are people with qualified medical degrees. And a large chunk of that 100 or so medical doctors are MDs employed at universities who are not in fact practitioners of medicine," Schachtel announced.

According to Schachtel's calculations, more than 50 PhD academics, around 60 college professors, 29 nurses, 10 students, 4 medical residents, and a handful of science podcasters were included in the letter's signatories.
The open letter, called "An Open Letter to Spotify: A call from the global scientific and medical communities to implement a misinformation policy," calls on the company to "take action against the mass-misinformation events which continue to occur on its platform" by implementing a "misinformation policy."

"This is not only a scientific or medical concern; it is a sociological issue of devastating proportions and Spotify is responsible for allowing this activity to thrive on its platform. We, the undersigned doctors, nurses, scientists, and educators thus call on Spotify to immediately establish a clear and public policy to moderate misinformation on its platform," the letter concludes.
