More than 300 COVID-19-related articles have been retracted — long after they’d done their damage — due to a lack of scientific truthfulness and ethical guidelines, according to Retraction Watch, a website that monitors retractions of science-related articles.
A total of 330 COVID-related papers have been retracted thus far.
According to Gunnveig Grødeland, a senior researcher at the Institute of Immunology at the University of Oslo, many researchers took ethical shortcuts when writing their essays.
“It will, of course, be withdrawn when it is found that ethical guidelines have been breached,” Grødeland quipped to Khrono, an academic news publication.
Grødeland states that there were other reasons articles were pulled, including researchers using too small sample size and new media outlets being deceptive about what the papers actually concluded. Sometimes the data changed, and articles were later retracted.
The lion’s share of these articles was released in smaller publications, but the prestigious Lancet got nailed a few times as well.
FACT-O-RAMA! The Lancet used fraudulent research when stating that hydroxychloroquine caused an increased risk of heart arrhythmia and even death in patients with COVID-19. This publication was eventually retracted but not until the Norwegian government and the World Health Organization (WHO) used this article as a reason to stop their research into the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine on COVID. Both have since resumed testing.
A paper published by the University of Manchester “found” that COVID was associated with vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus. Two years later they did a 180 and admitted that they assumed this to be the case.

“Pulled” ?
Oops... yeah. Remember “follow the science.” Well... no. No... no. We pulled it. It’s pulled.
Follow the science until it’s pulled. That’s what we meant to say.
How many appeared in the vaunted NEJM?
Thanks for posting. I heard about this on some show and was looking for an article about it.
What a surprise.
The scientific/medical community and the government (the FDA and CDC to start with) has by their own hands have destroyed any reason at all that they ever gave people to trust them.
And trust, once lost, is near impossible to regain. At this point, IMO, unless there is some really radical change, I would say it IS impossible to regain it.
Peer review is a joke. It’s just the good old boys club high fiving and back slapping each other for holding to the narrative in spite of the evidence. There’s no objectivity left at all.
and never forget. much of that big pharma/big health/big gov’t bought, fake ‘science’ was regurgitated by agenda posters here time and time again on FR and used to bludgeon fearful folks into compliance.
I wonder how many of those articles the FR vaxxers relied on to push their false narrative
Wow. While predictable, it is still exceptionally frustrating to read. Thanks for the ping.
Now do global warming.
It is.
OTOH, it is good information to have for the next time you debate a *follow the science* liberal. They’ll probably just double down on the deception and narrative, but it does give us ammunition to dismiss their claims and walk away shaking our heads.
ASSUMED???
They should have every grant withdrawn and not be eligible for any more
“Follow The SCIENCE™®©! (Until it’s proven to be faked, but even then still follow it like obedient little peasants!) The SCIENCE™®© brought to you by Pfizer and this broadcast station!”
Their lies are blowing up in their faces
Now they must lie again by trying to delete their lies
(Now do global warming)
But, but, but Al Gore!!!
"The Science" has been completely corrupted.

Mission accomplished - hide the evidence.
Exactly ! Truth,.. well spoken !
Remember when the FRoctors claimed any articles/papers that promoted actual SAFE and EFFECTIVE therapeutics were NOT peer reviewed, ethical, etc?? Yet, tried, in vain, to push many of these pulled articles?
We remember!!
Whoopsie. But still trust the science...
