"We made a fake dataset that replicates all of the statistical properties of the real data (which we won't show anybody) and accidentally put that one up instead of the real dataset"

Lmao, come off it.

tbf, most papers that issue retractions get this kind of BS excuse. Academia is chock full of huge egos that refuse to acknowledge they're wrong.

Is this the ivermectin paper that suggested it might have value against covid in humans, but only at lethal doses? If you're making up datasets, you could at least make it actually support your argument.

Nah, it's one of the "RCTs" with "actual" patients.

Hopefully this doesn't get them out of it and they all go to jail and permanently lose ability to have any association with medicine again.

Lol, that's certainly not how it works. They could say "yeah, we made it all up" and face little to no consequences.

I mean, even Wakefield lost his licence even if he got no jail time. I would hope all involved would face some punishment even if the reality is it'd nowhere near enough.

An exception, certainly.
