Three authors retract study on hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine
How about thanking or crediting the many independent doctors and scientists (https://zenodo.org/record/3873178) who identified the issues in Lancet's publication? Even Apple credits/pays independent researchers for finding weaknesses in Apple code.Will countries now revert national health policy changes that were based on this questionable study? What about the families of patients who were denied early HCQ treatment based on this study? Who is liable for their denial of treatment?James Todaro, May 29th, https://www.medicineuncensored.com/a-study-out-of-thin-air>  Misinformation is bad. Misinformation in medicine is worse. Misinformation from a prestigious medical journal is the worst.  Herein is a detailed look at the controversial Lancet study that resulted in the World Health Organization ending worldwide clinical trials on hydroxychloroquine in order to focus on patented therapeutics.Guardian, June 3rd, https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/03/covid-19-surgi...> The very serious concerns being raised about the validity of the papers by Mehra et al need to be recognised and actioned urgently, and ought to bring about serious reflection on whether the quality of editorial and peer review during the pandemic has been adequate.
