I want to know how it got into the Lancet. This Journal has been around for centuries and is peer reviewed. This demonstrates a total breakdown of the editorial and peer review process I believe is unprecedented. It would be a fitting punishment if the editor(s) responsible for this travesty were fired and the reviewers were removed from the list of contributors. What an abrogation of medical ethics! It seem science is becoming inexorably intertwined with politics and ideology. Lets not forget about money, although I pray not.

I'm with you.

The Lancet????!!!!??????!!!!

That publication's reputation up until now has been impeccable. What were the editors thinking, rushing this into print without proper peer review . . .

It doesn't take much to trash a good name that has been stellar since 1823 . . . and they're working on it. And you never really get it back.
