If a paper advances false claims it should be retracted. What those claims are and who might find said claims politically convenient are utterly irrelevant. This is not a political issue. Attempting to frame it as such accomplishes nothing of value.
- timr 2y agoI agree, and I'm saying that what actually gets retracted is basically a function of the activism of people who are particularly motivated, which is a matter of politics.

- forgetfreeman 2y agoI'd entertain evidence that supports your assertion. Do you have any?
- timr 2y agoNot an assertion; provided links to paper that needs retraction elsewhere in thread. Beyond that, the article specifically says how this paper got retracted -- a group of activists pushed for it. I encourage you to push for that other paper to be retracted as well.
