#Dubonnet ?

That will make zero difference to the MAGA cult. They’ll merely say the study was withdrawn because ‘they’ didn’t want people to know ‘the truth’ 🙄🙄🙄

Ah, yes wait until it doesn't matter any more, then retract. Bang up job.

there was one debunked study, by one discredited doctor, that claimed that one discontinued ingredient, in one particular vaccine, that he was developing a different version of, now has people convinced that vaccines cause autism... this retraction will change nothing

I’m no scientist, but I’m pretty sure that the whole “peer review” is literally the point of the scientific method. Without it, the rest of it falls apart, as witnessed here. (I am not a scientist, but I am married to one)

"Small" precision, there was no peer review in that particular case because the editor in chief of the journal at this time was actually one of Raoult's lab member 🙃 they claim that it's been edited by smne else, but at this time the whole review process from submission to publication took 1 day 🙃

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This retraction will matter about as much as the retraction of Andrew Wakefield’s article linking autism to vaccines

More on this here also: bsky.app/profile/lonn... And thanks @science.org for covering it!

No doubt.

That means all of us who take science seriously need to get much more directly involved in dismantling poor-quality, pseudoscientific studies - at the technical level, but also in forcing journals to act in a timely manner instead of burying criticisms. The situation is far worse than is recognized.

another SHOCKING LIE EXPOSED. Wasn't Rudy taking that every day? Someone let him know it's OK to stop taking it.

RFK Jr. should be smacked with a rolled-up copy of the 2020 paper until he can tell the difference between vaccine science and bad-faith conspiracy memes.

Reminds me of when I was at uni in the early 00s. We were given the Andrew Wakefield paper on vaccines and autism to critique as part of our medical ethics course. We were first year students and we ripped it to shreds. I don’t think the people making these “mistakes” understand the impact.

I remember being appalled at this paper when it was released and I can’t believe it took this long to be retracted.

Ad hominem is perfectly valid here, RE the senior author

We were proactive and ringfenced like 2 years worth of supply for our rheum patients 🫶

Yeah, lupus patients NEEDED HCQ and for a while couldn't get it because people were using it for COVID.

IF you have both worms and a virus then a drug that kills worms is a good thing. But if you don't have worms it doesn't do anything for the virus. This has been studied VERY thoroughly.

oh yeah. Sjogren's here. big mad.

As we all should!

The moment I heard hydroxy chloroquine mentioned, I checked my prescriptions and luckily refilled ahead of the flood of needless prescriptions. My 20+ years of taking for Rheumatoid Arthritis made me very familiar with the drug. I too, will never forget that time and problems he caused.

YES. My rheumatologist was proactive, plus the timing of my refills was fortunate, but I absolutely did not need the stress of it all.

I think you might be mixing up studies. BOTH the studies that said hydroxychloroquine could help against COVID AND the study referenced by your Forbes article got retracted.

The harsh side effects of HCQ probably explains why it failed as a real treatment despite showing promise in vitro against SARS-CoV-2, doing more damage than it prevented. India and Peru also tried out HCQ, unsuccessfully.

I was adminstered hydroxichloroquine in ICU at starting of the pandemic. In Italy it was authorized (& tested on covid patients) till end of may 2020. AFAIK it was stopped cause it's cardio-toxic and harmful to nervous system. A study highlighted higher deaths in Italy could be related to its usage

Let's take a look at all prior vaccine approvals with the same level of scrutiny. Could be interesting . . .

Não que precisasse, mas tá aí @medoedeliriobr.bsky.social

I’m no expert, but I read that paper and it made no sense — appeared to be a case where the researcher tried something that didn’t work, but went ahead and published.

Average muggles don't comprehend how much damage POTUS45 did to the scientific community or have the faintest glimmer of understanding how POTUS47 is going to set the scientific community back decades. bsky.app/profile/real...

Shock! As clearly unadulterated horseshit gets reclassified as unadulterated horseshit.

In August 2020, a collaboration of scientists published work showing that hydroxychloroquine does not inhibit covid. Glad this other paper was finally redacted. wyss.harvard.edu/news/hydroxy...
