More than 300 COVID-19-related articles have been retracted — long after they’d done their damage — due to a lack of scientific truthfulness and ethical guidelines, according to Retraction Watch, a website that monitors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A total of 330 COVID-related papers have been retracted thus far.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“It will, of course, be withdrawn when it is found that ethical guidelines have been breached,” Grødeland quipped to Khrono, an academic news publication.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.

Unfollow the Science: 300 COVID Articles Pulled, Many Over Lack of Ethical Standards

1984 rewrite ,
then
1984 memory hole .
Indeed it is.
In the great book exposing all the vaccine fraud, dishonesty, and greed - "Turtles All the Way Down" - deals with this peer review con in some detail. The vast majority of it is just window dressing (about 80% IIRC) with no real deep analysis or confirming experimentation. Mostly paid shills (aka "experts") do it in their spare time for cash and put no real effort into examining the facts.
This certainly has been done with "vaccine" peer review in spades.
Well, I sure hope a few good FReepers downloaded their nonsense papers. Which means if they were retracted...there are copies floating around out there somewhere.
AND...
Part of me wants to say to President Donald Trump, “I hope you are aware of this level of misinformation and IF you become President again...you do not fall for it a second time. The “science” killed people.
Ping! It’s about time someone cleaned the archives...
.
If there are no consequences we’ll get more of this.
He's the first President in history to have to deal with a man-made pandemic and a wall-to-wall panic instigated by an alliance between the opposing political party and the mass media.
There is no doubt President Trump had a tough job with many enemies.
The problem is those enemies are still there lying in wait.
I have yet to hear how he plans to deal with it.
Yeah I hear ya.
Of course if actually had a viable plan, he probably wouldn't make it public.
But I don't have any confidence that he has such a plan.
[p-a-n-d-e-m-i-c] - [p-a-n-i-c] = [d-e-m].
I'm coding too much. Sorry.
Oops I sent that to myself, I meant it for you. Ha ha.
Worth copying!
Sure do. We’ll never forget.
And I hope he has learned, like we all did
