@joefrancis505 Um no, not at all equivalent. If a reference is REAL but the interpretation wrong, anyone can go to the cited source and analyze the content themselves. If a reference is hallucinated, THERE IS NO SOURCE to either confirm or refute the interpretation. It is a loop without exit.

Retraction—Today, we retract an unsigned 1977 commentary suggesting talc powder containing asbestos was not harmful. The Lancet was informed that the author had undisclosed competing interests and breached publication ethics. /4

Why do “life-long” medications elicit such opposition? Is it some Calvinist moral economy or aversion to the welfare state (aka social democracy)? Why must human bodies & health be “fixed” in limited periods of time, rather than treated over lifetimes? https://t.co/I8HS2lQOIn

Solidarity with Mahmoud Khalil✊, and all international students at US universities. One of the greatest strengths of US higher education is its international students, and heartbroken to see that so cruelly and arbitrarily threatened with absolutely zero evidence.
