Academia has little to no credibility. As essential part of academic ethos is the tenet that there is no truth.

Is this some of the “settled science” we hear so much about?

Are bogus climate change papers being withdrawn? They certainly should be!

My own view as someone who left academia after becoming a Harvard professor is that corruption has infiltrated the academy along with careerism and politicization. Correcting the situation will not be easy, but a first step would be to institute criminal penalties for research and review fraud. A “cultural revolution” of sorts is needed in academia, with a pervasive ethic of honesty enforced by social pressure as well as laws. Yeah that'll happen. LOL.

It turns out the science deniers are the scientists themselves.

The educational community has gotten so far away from the Scientific Method that it now accepts “consensus” as truth. If I had agreed with that attitude I never would have been permitted to graduate from high school.

I’m betting pro-transgender papers were faked. Trans activists don’t care about reality.

What they’ve done is outright fraud for many decades. They’ve made themselves ultra rich soaking taxpayer dollars with their phony research grants. They think they’re above the law since they donate so much to democrat campaigns. Harsh penalties need to be meted out so they stop doing this and they never attempt it again.
Hah, who am I kidding? They aren’t going to stop because it’s become big business for them and they buy protection from the democrat swamp.

Laws would make no difference, because it is the government which is driving the fraud — the same government which would be expected to enforce the laws.
For decades, no research happened which was not in response to a grant. To get a grant, you must satisfy a grant issuer that you will produce research results that the issuer will like. To KEEP getting Grant’s, your results need to keep the grant issues happy.
No researchers who rely on government Grant’s may dispute a vital government narrative.

Useless.
Only political Conservatives would be charged, convicted, fined, jailed, or fired.
To: T Ruth
it would be interesting to study those papers to see if there was a larger plan or intention involved

The field of the withdrawn work is physics.
I guess there wasn’t enough diversity, inclusion and equity.
