Earlier today we wrote in Weird Pharmacological Science about alleged problems with research concerning the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine. The news these days moves at warp speed, I now write to report The Lancet, Britain's lead medical journal, has withdrawn the article at the request of three of its four authors. Just The News has the story.
The three report they attempted to have an independent audit done of the data set. Surgisphere which had 'collected' or perhaps faked the data would not cooperate. The result: they bailed. The Lancet really had no choice but to withdraw the article which, one suspects, did much damage to science and may have indirectly led to hundreds of deaths.
