    As if you didn’t know my point…

    Their credibility is damaged enough to be sceptical about this report (which is not even medical research).

    And here is another example:

    They published (and retracted) a key study that linked anti-malarial drug HCQ to increased risk of death and irregularity in heart rhythms in coronavirus patients.

      That is to be expected with cutting edge research. Studies get retracted all the time. The vetting process is not perfect and never can be. Especially when there are bad actors gaming the system.

      You could attack Lancet and Elsevier in general on other grounds. But this in my opinion is not one of them.
