I could not disagree with this more. If we do not retract flawed research with the purpose to cause harm, what is the point of retraction at all?https://twitter.com/NAChristakis/status/1329471888180072452 …

I've read hundreds of papers with mistakes - errors big and small - at the absolute minimum these should be corrected, but if the entire paper is flawed what else do you do?

I think this attitude often harks back to decades long past, where you had a physical journal where letters to the editor were read as much as studies themselves

But these days, letters are barely read, but studies often go viral and are seen by 100,000s. What's even the point of writing a letter if it doesn't lead to correction/retraction?

Let me put it this way - currently there is no line. Papers are almost never retracted for any reason. Even the most egregious cases of awful studies rarely have even minor corrections made
