Three authors retract study on hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine
How about thanking or crediting the many independent doctors and scientists (<a href="https://zenodo.org/record/3873178" rel="nofollow">https://zenodo.org/record/3873178</a>) who identified the issues in Lancet's publication? Even Apple credits/pays independent researchers for finding weaknesses in Apple code.<p>Will countries now revert national health policy changes that were based on this questionable study? What about the families of patients who were denied <i>early</i> HCQ treatment based on this study? Who is liable for their denial of treatment?<p>James Todaro, May 29th, <a href="https://www.medicineuncensored.com/a-study-out-of-thin-air" rel="nofollow">https://www.medicineuncensored.com/a-study-out-of-thin-air</a><p><i>>  Misinformation is bad. Misinformation in medicine is worse. Misinformation from a prestigious medical journal is the worst.
