It’s not just that it was a faulty study.
It was a study that was about an ongoing crisis that has led to hundreds of thousands of dead people in a couple of months that had a contrarian result, had not been through peer review, had not been double or triple checked and was still promoted heavily through news media.
That it happened to also be faulty made it a tragedy. It’s farcical nature had been established earlier.

Opinions don't need checking, peer review or double-blind controlled studies to be heard. That's why they're called "opinions".
