Three authors have retracted a study on the risks of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for the COVID-19 virus that had been highly influential.

The article, published in the journal Lancet, had found that hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria drug, increased mortality and heart problems in patients suffering from the coronavirus. It had been cited in criticizing President Trump's promotion of the drug as a remedy for the disease.

About time. That study was shredded shortly after it was released.

Politicized medicine.

It served its purpose. As always, the criminal media will barely cover the retraction of the fake news while it promoted the hell out of the fake news itself.

Well, it served its purpose: to give the Trump hating media something to print and say, "See?! We told you Trump was bad".

You know they won't admit that the report has been retracted...

They need to publicize the names of the authors so they can be publicly mocked and ridiculed as the fakes that they are.

Not “controversial”?

Will all the journalist apologize for their gross incompetence regarding their failure to check out the background of those making the claim? No! Being a card carrying member of the Joseph Goebbels’ School of Propaganda means never having to say you are sorry when pushing the cause’s agenda........

To much science today gives the results that are paid for. It can no longer be trusted. It has been heavily Lysenkoised.

He, remember when I said hydroxychloroquine was useless and dangerous and of no use against the CCP virus?

Well, hey, I don't know what was going through my mind when I said that. I was flyin' or something, out there in space somewhere, ya gotta let that one slide, ok? Give me a break on that one, all right?

What I meant to say was that hydroxychloroquine may very well work, and we'll be starting a big test on it right away.

The whole "Surgisphere" paper was a scam. People who analyzed their data said it had suspiciously low variance.

The company is highly suspect. CrunchBase says Surgisphere has one employee, Founder & CEO Sapan Desai, MD, PhD, MBA, FACS. QuartzClinical is a "sub-organization" of SurgiSphere and has six people in sales, marketing, creative, and legal fluff. Their VP of "System Integration and Optimization" is a lawyer, to boot. QuartzClinical claims they operate in Analytics, Big Data, Business Intelligence, Data Integration, Health Care, Information Technology, Machine Learning, Medical, Predictive Analytics, Software. Yet there seems to be nobody in the company with those skill sets.

This is how "Surgisphere" describes themselves in search engines. It's laughable.

LinkedIn shows Ariane Anderson is the "Director Of Sales Marketing" at Quartz Clinical from Sep 2018 to Present. She has an Associate's [sic] Degree in General Education from Chaffey College; completed the Phlebotomy certified program at the Phlebotomy Learning Center; and earned a Certificate as a Medical/Clinical Assistant from Chaffey College.

I'd say the only guy doing good work there is Sergio Ritter with his "Creative" responsibilities. I'd wager he is a protege of Don Draper.

These guys really snookered Lancet into publishing their paper.

Assuming HCQ and zinc work, just how many people did they kill with this faked study.

To quote Harry Reid, “It worked, didn’t it?”
Blatantly lying to get the results they need. No repercussions.
