There should be a Hall of Shame for the worst articles in major journals pushing the establishment narrative on Covid. In addition to the Lancet’s contributions above, other candidates include:
- the JAMA study involving deliberately excessive HCQ doses,
- the Imperial College paper in Nature claiming lockdown saved 0.5 million lives in Europe and,
-the miserably weak cluster RCT of masks in Bangladesh published in Science.
I’m sure the readers of this blog can think of many more.
Richard Horton, who in 2015, received the Friendship Award from the Government of China (according to his Lancet bio) has proven just how good a friend he is.
I would characterize #5 a little differently. The day of publication, there were some of us on the internet sharing observations of concern over Surgisphere. The organization of the letter eventually sent with over 100 names on it expressing concern essentially began on day 1. Raoult has done a great deal of good, of course, but it didn't take the most published infectious disease expert to spot the flaws. They were numerous and obvious.
Is it any surprise when you look at the Lancet's editorial advisory board?
Question is are they so woke they supress information that they don't agree with or do they actively push an agenda?
I am not so sure about the asymptomatic transmission, please read:

And therefore… ?
