Their retraction-admission validates what President Trump stated in the very beginning of the pandemic
A leading medical journal has issued a retraction of their endorsement for a study that concluded the anti-viral drug hydroxychloroquine was ineffective against the COVID-19 virus. This retraction appears to validate the claims then-President Trump made about the medication being a frontline drug in the battle in the pandemic.
The Lancet, a respected online medical journal, issued an apology to its readers in an edition last year after the retraction. “We deeply apologize to you, the editors, and the journal readership for any embarrassment or inconvenience that this may have caused,” the publishers of The Lancet said.
Compared to the significantly more expensive medications being used to treat the virus, hydroxychloroquine – a drug widely used to treat malaria – is relatively inexpensive and universally available. Hydroxychloroquine ranges in price from $0.30 to $6.63 per dose depending on location.
Covfefe Coffee The Lancet’s endorsement of the study was withdrawn because the Surgisphere Corporation, the company that provided data, refused to provide full access to the information it based its study on. Peer review medical journals typically engage in third-party peer review to validate the findings.
Covid-19: Lancet retracts paper that halted hydroxychloroquine trials https://t.co/9dWQhm5QLM – What impact did this highly embarrassing “Retraction” by @TheLancet have on the adoption of Hydroxychloroquine as a ‘potential’ effective treatment for #COVID19?

The Surgisphere Corporation said it refused to release the study data because it would violate client agreements and confidentiality requirements, raising questions about the study’s legitimacy.
“Based on this development, we can no longer vouch for the veracity of the primary data sources. Due to this unfortunate development, the authors request that the paper be retracted,” The Lancet said in a statement.
In the now debunked study, researchers concluded that hydroxychloroquine didn’t aid in curbing the COVID-19 virus. It went on to say that the drug caused heart problems and appeared to elevate the risk of death.
The study was immediately embraced by the beleaguered World Health Organization and other groups causing research into the use of the drug to combat COVID-19 to stop.
The Corruption of Science. The Hydroxychloroquine Lancet Study Scandal. Who Was Behind It? Anthony Fauci’s Intent To Block HCQ on Behalf of Big Pharma/ By Prof Michel Chossudovsky, Global Research, June 10, 2020https://t.co/5FYzrePfgM

In seeking a third-party peer review, disturbing questions about the research and the data sets used started to emerge.
“Our independent peer reviewers informed us that Surgisphere would not transfer the full dataset, client contracts, and the full ISO audit report to their servers for analysis as such transfer would violate client agreements and confidentiality requirements,” The Lancet statement said.
The third-party peer reviewers were unable to execute “an independent and private peer review” and, thus, withdrew from the process, the medical journal stated.
There is no estimate of how many lives could have been saved if the World Health Organization and the Center for Disease Control – along with all of the many foundations and institutions who were more focused on the profit margin of vaccines and new drug therapies – would have explored the benefits of hydroxychloroquine in combating COVID-19.
This article seems to be highly misleading. The Lancet retracted it on Jun 4, 2020 when the ridiculous problems with and fraud by Surgisphere were exposed. I don’t see anything new in this article that wasn’t covered six months ago. The authors are somehow trying to show (and falsely, I think), that HCQ is now accepted because Biden is president. There are lots of things happening to make Biden look brilliant at the expense of Trump, but this isn’t one of them.

“Now this” — nope, read it carefully. The authors are dredging up the JUNE 2020 retraction and making it appear it happened today. Very false reporting.
Or is someone/some group literally coordinating every bit of propaganda and political narrative throughout all aspects of society?The government wants to disarm us after 244 yrs 'cuz they plan to do things we would shoot them for!
At no point in history has any government ever wanted its people to be defenseless for any good reason ~ nully's son
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
Oh BS!. You really should do a bit of source checking before posting.
The title of this thread: “As Biden Became President, Medical Journal Quietly Retracted Study That Claimed Hydroxychloroquine Is Ineffective” implies Bidens’ inauguration was the catalyst for this reaction. Biden’s inauguration had nothing to do with this retraction which happened last June. Here’s the link to the retraction:
“Lancet, NEJM Retract Surgisphere Studies on COVID-19 Patients”
You’ll note the date of the article is 4 Jun. Most news outlets report Biden’s inauguration wasn’t until 20 Jan 2021.
Not any more! If they stooped so low as to slander a perfectly good treatment for COVID with thousands of successful outcomes, they cannot be trusted. Peoples' lives come before political correctness, 'tards.
LOL. Gomer was the first thing that popped into my mind too. 😁
“The Lancet, a respected online medical journal”
Oh, please. This isnt the first time The Lancet put politics above medicine.
Medical journal quietly retracted study that claimed hydroxychloroquine is ineffective.
Well, surprise, surprise, surprise! Maybe now we can get on to the business of actually TREATING active cases of COVID-19 Wuhan virus, and get back to work.
The therapies have been available all the time. But the “authorities” needed lots and lots of fatalities to force people to believe just how dreadful this disease was supposed to be.
If it had been controlled too quickly, people would have admired Trump by giving him even MORE votes than the 74 million or so that were recorded for him.
Then the fraud that got the Harris/Biden ticket “elected” would have to have been much, much greater.
Yet Fauci is out there yesterday trashing Trump for saying it was.

Fauci was coauthor on a paper that claimed hydroxychloroquine was therapeutic and preventative for the SARS 1 virus
(Coronavirus: Hydroxychloroquine ineffective says Fauci)
(Pelosi slams Trump for taking hydroxychloroquine, calls him 'morbidly obese')
(Why Trump says he's taking hydroxychloroquine despite the data)
And so it went with muddled confusion and people dying perhaps over the radical politics of the Democrats.
Thumbs Up For Trump!
Coast is clear. We can let the truth out now.
“Dear Leader, Savior or the Republic, President Biden reverses Trump ban on HCQ and Invermectin to treat Italian Covid ending pandemic, saving billions of lives, and rescueing the world economy.”
-CNN two weeks after the installation.
But at least we got a $600 ebt card. My business has lost near $200,000 and I laid off all my machinists (who arent coming back) but that $600. whew!
and yet, Fauci condescendingly laughed HCQ off during the presser yesterday as part of celebrating ‘freedom’ to say what he wanted ‘under the new admin’
In this lawless atmosphere there is no such thing as lying, and ‘it’ is truly endemic now.
Run that through the Dominion machines for the correct answer!
