Study on COVID-19 Excess Mortality Withdrawn for Misinformation
A 2024 study on COVID-19 excess mortality has been retracted for misinformation, according to the journal BMJ Public Health.
A study published in 2024 in the journal "BMJ Public Health" on excess mortality related to COVID-19 has been withdrawn by its publisher. This decision was announced on Wednesday.
The publisher stated that the study reflected misinformation about the possible causes of excess mortality during the pandemic. The conclusions of this study had been criticized for supporting vaccine-skeptical theses.
The withdrawal of the study raises questions about the rigor of pandemic-related research and the consequences of its dissemination within the scientific community.
