Stumbled on this paper about a retracted vitamin D study last year, and it is a WILD RIDE This paper got 100,000s of downloads on SSRN, and changed worldwide policy It also might have been...entirely fraudulent?https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7443564/ …

The global impact wasn't limited to news reports - the paper has been cited ~100 times so far, i.e. this recent narrative review where it's used to argue that vitamin D should be part of the treatment of COVID-19 for people with diabetespic.twitter.com/khjKOp1QSN

Looks like a good opportunity for securities fraud. Pick a small company producing one drug. Buy shares or call options. Upload a fraudulent study showing that this drug helps against cancer/HIV. Watch share price increase. Sell shares. Profit.

Holy shit. I wonder what could be done to prevent this in the future. Maybe sensitive topics should go to a semi-closed area of a preprint server, where only people with an ORCID can submit / access it?
