SO much of the current covid conspiracy stuff relies on redacted studies. The thing is, the conspiracy theorists either think that they've been redacted because of "the man", or don't know how redaction works full stop.
- mwfunk 5y agoI think another big part of it is, the conspiracy theorists only need one paper that agrees with them to instantly say the gazillions of papers that disagree with them are wrong. So even one redacted paper is more important to them than all other scholarship.

- evancox100 5y agoYa, studies with classified information blacked out are the worst
- anders_p 5y agoHah. Yes. The redaction/retraction confusion here is rather funny. "Redacted" scientific research on covid, would make a conspiracy theorist out of me too :)
