It’s also the 28th retracted paper for senior author Didier Raoult, a now-retired microbiologist who worked at Marseille’s L’Institut Hospitalier Universitaire Méditerranée Infection.

I remember this study and its main researcher Didier Raoult.
I wonder if the 27 other retractions are recent and done in retaliation for his support of hydrochloroquine, which was an act of defiance towards the establishment during Covid, or if he had a pattern of retractions throughout his career and was basically a crank.
