Massive red flag over commercial dataset behind several high profile studies on effects of HCQ, ACE inhibitors, Ivermectin in #COVID19. What a shambles.

Gotta admit. Feeling very despondent about the state of play around misinformation, trust etc this week. It’s bad enough fighting the cranks and quacks, but when it’s coming rom inside the tent...

Absolutely. The retractions from the major journals just keep coming. Things feeling pretty rotten to the core tbh

From memory, higher IF journals actually retract more on avg. Usually a good thing - shows they have some interest in the science post-publication

Yep, I’m not so much concerned with the journals as I am with the behaviour of fellow scientists. Never surprising but always incredibly disappointing. The product of perverse incentives.

I think everything we're seeing is a microcosm of what usually happens, but sped up. Always some fake/bad science, but it usually takes a decade to go through publication/suspicion/revision/retraction rather than a month

Yep, amplified, accelerated and hyperpolarised. What a nightmare.
