      Retraction of error-filled analysis =/= "censorship"https://twitter.com/VPrasadMDMPH/status/1332149885374668802 …

      I Read the article (archived links in the thread) I'm sorry, but this is not acceptable in science. We can't delete, censor and retract, if a claim is not fraudulent. We certainly can't simply because an analysis is misused. Censoring is a grave threat to science. https://twitter.com/JHUNewsLetter/status/1332100136152035330 …

      In any other discipline, if you made obvious and repeated mathematical mistakes it would be expected that you get rid of the article, but in academia this is frowned upon It is a very strange system indeed

      Also worth noting that what @VPrasadMDMPH is objecting to is not scientific censorship by any account, because what was deleted here was the press release put out by the university newsletter...

          Vinay will accuse me of ad hominem, but I am begging him to look in the mirror: (1) he's become about a predictable shtick/process (2) he will choose path of "concern" and whattaboutism over anything (3) his personal brand is that he succeeds while most/all others ethically fail

          I have to add that it sounds like the "analysis" in question is absolutely atrocious- seemingly irredeemably inappropriate and truly dangerous in this misinformation climate.

          The influence of university press releases is not to be underestimated. For any given claimed scientific discovery that breaks through to public consciousness, the first page or so of Google results on that topic will be university press releases reproduced practically verbatim.

          Just to be clear: this was NOT a university newsletter. This was a student newspaper printing an undergraduate's summary of what she understood.
