I got it wrong about something. It turns out that @TheLancet #hydroxychloroquine/#COVID19 study was likely fraudulent, thanks to a small, very dodgy company called Surgisphere. Here, I admit my error and try to set things right.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2020/06/05/surgisphere-debacle/ …

The difference in how people respond to faked data is always so enlightening. This is what it looks like when someone who wants to know what is true finds out they got duped.

We actually don't know for sure if the data were faked, because no one can get access, but it's sure looking as though it was.

I think we can conclude that some of the data *have* to be fake because they contradict other observations about reality. But that's a good point; we don't actually know what happened. Still, major kudos to you for being completely transparent about this.

Certainly, the African data, at least, are almost certainly fake, given that it would take sophisticated EMRs to produce the data and such EMRs are in short supply in Africa.
