The trouble is, it is not the retraction that people remember, it's the original article

[DaveJ]

Good news indeed.

But as DiscoDes says, much damage has been done with the original publishing of the article.

Some of the more recent activity, as reported in the more recent NNA roundups, shows there is now some push to ensure the media who ran with and quoted the original flawed study are now brought to account with the facts. Maybe something will come from that.

One hopes, perhaps in vain, that this will make organisations less willing to trust and quote Mr Antz-Glantz in the future.




++ One muses just how the original study could think timing of heart problems and commencing vaping might not be significant? Doesn't take many smarts to wonder if chest pains/problems might prompt a smoker to consider their options.

They declared war on the tobacco companies for knowingly twisting, covering up and down right lying about the evidence and are now doing the same thing that will have the same effect of millions of people dyeing prematurely in a horrible way from the diseases caused by smoking.
