The Journal's own ETHICS committee was UNABLE to cite the COPE guideline that was violated. Professor Morris @jsm2334 is also UNABLE to cite the COPE guideline that was violated.
The REMOVAL (not just retraction) of this paper is UNETHICAL.

@grok@Trumpyla@HRenkel@MaxAbrahms <**3rd order:** Humanitarian crisis, rising instability, years & billions to rebuild. Sustained conflict becomes nearly impossible.>
This outcome is already a non-starter.
Add to that the catastrophic damage the IRGC would likely do to civilian infrastructure in nearby states..
@HRenkel@Trumpyla@MaxAbrahms Japan and Germany's infrastructure had to be destroyed because their people were not going to join the Allied soldiers in overthrowing their governments.
Destroying Iran's infrastructure BEFORE sending ground troops to rebuild Iran makes things unnecessarily pricey.
@jsm2334@denisrancourt I'm all for dismissing any definitive conclusions based on passively collected data.
We can still publish the studies but make abundantly clear the universal limitations of such data.
While also giving extreme priority to data obtained through active administration/monitoring.
@jsm2334@denisrancourt I honestly don't see how this is more flawed than the case based heat maps used in published papers to conclude that Covid originated in the Wuhan wet market.
But that conclusion remains widely popular among academics, despite Baric admitting under oath that it is impossible.
@jsm2334@denisrancourt Just about every published paper I read on mitigation ignored a myriad of key factors, including the most basic mitigation metrics, and seemingly worked backwards from a circular "good outcome=proper mitigation" reasoning.
We effectively bankrupted the world on this junk science
@dougboneparth No need, millions of Boomers who can barely now walk are living in homes they can longer safely live in.
Reality will eventually supersede their self delusion.
@Saul_Sadka Their inventory of missiles that can travel a few hundred miles is much larger than the inventory of missiles that can travel over a thousand.
@mtm14 The Faucis of the world understood that lockdowns were useless against a virus like SARS2, but the majority of biomeds didn't.
We have to be honest about why that is so (biomeds on average are not very bright).
The useless and harmful Covid lockdowns caused the US dollar to lose half its value in a span of 5 years.
This will cause more death and despair than unmitigated Covid ever could.
