      The Real Truther Retweeted Del Bigtree

      Bravo! Let’s join together to hold Andrew Wakefield, the SCIENCE FICTION WRITER behind the now RETRACTED STUDY, responsible for the DEATHS OF CHILDREN whose parents avoided the vaccine! It’s time for justice @delbigtree!https://twitter.com/delbigtree/status/1269343245462638592 …

      The Real Truther added,

      Del Bigtree @delbigtree
      Should the SCIENCE FICTION WRITER and ADULT MODEL behind the now RETRACTED DATA on the dangers of HCQ be held responsible for the DEATHS OF PEOPLE who avoided the treatment? Or should it be the government agencies that got suckered by the hoax? #Covidiots https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/03/covid-19-surgisphere-who-world-health-organization-hydroxychloroquine …

      Yep. Most of us are actually fine with a bad study being retracted and willing to admit it if we were wrong about it.

      You're okay that governments and the WHO are making policy decisions based on a study so flimsy that it was retracted? That's concerning.

      Actually, science did what it was supposed to. @WHO checked its clinical trial data for safety concerns (which was a good decision), didn’t find any, and resumed the trial. Then the study got retracted 2 weeks after publication, which is fast.🙄

          Are you also a Remdesivir endorser? Just curious.

          Replying to @gorskon @thereal_truther and

          Agreed. And you have my respect for admitting you were wrong. The concern is that world governments are making life and death decisions with data that is  “almost certainly a scam”. It doesn't seem like a well-oiled machine does it? What if no one caught the error?

          Or one could argue papers with flaws and/or fraud being retracted is actually evidence things are pretty well-oiled.
