That paper made international news at the time...

The only reason this "paper" from an organization no one ever heard of before "made international news" is this: the "results" were embarrassing to Donald Trump. That's it. There is nothing else. If it wasn't for that aspect, no one would ever have heard of Surgisphere, and The Lancet wouldn't have touched their paper with a ten-foot battle lance (to borrow from the rear cover material on Bored Of The Rings).

Exactly right...it was ALL to get President Trump.
