claim: lancet retracts paper that received hydroxychloroquine trials
evidence_1: we do not agree with your premise or the nature of what you have put together, and i am sad to see that what should have been a scientific discussion has been denigrated into this sort of discussion. shortly after the lancet retracted its study, the new england journal of medicine retracted a paper based on the surgisphere database, also co-authored by mehra and desai.", "photograph: george frey/reuters sarah boseley and melissa davey thu 4 jun 2020 15.43 edt last modified on wed 1 jul 2020 12.19 edt the lancet paper that halted global trials of hydroxychloroquine for covid-19 because of fears of increased deaths has been retracted after a guardian investigation found inconsistencies in the data.", 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  "as such, our reviewers were not able to conduct an independent and private peer review and therefore notified us of their withdrawal from the peer-review process. the lancet study had a dramatic impact on attempts to find out whether the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine, and its older version, chloroquine, could help treat patients with covid-19.")
