Title: Infamous Hydroxychloroquine Study Retracted
Post by: Steve on December 18, 2024, 04:06:31 pm

SUMMARY - The science journal, "International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents," has formally retracted a study that it had published which claimed that hydroxychloroquine was beneficial in fighting Covid-19. The study went on to become famous amongst anti-vaccine advocates and Covid-19 skeptics. It is the most highest-cited paper on Covid-19 to be retracted, and the second-most-cited retracted paper of any kind.

ADDITIONAL CONTEXT - Good riddance.
