The media promoted a Lancet study that purported to show that hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) or chloroquine were toxic to the hearth stating “each of these drug regimens was associated with decreased in-hospital survival and increased frequency of ventricular arrhythmias when used for treatment of COVID-19”.

The fraudulent paper that discredited a potential early COVID-19 treatment (HCQ) was published on May 22, 2020 in The Lancet, a peer reviewed journal, and by June 5th it was retracted! [1, 2, 3, 4]

The WHO used this published paper to justifying halting their HCQ SOLIDARITY arm of their trials, and so did Australia’s Department of Health, as FOI request revealed.  Other papers still reference this fraudulent study.

The company Surgisphere, which provided the data for the now retracted paper was heavily scrutinised, including by Australia, resulting in another peer review journal, NEJM also retracting a paper that used this same company.

Surgisphere has since been removed from the traditional internet [5, 6] but archives can be found. The doctor who started the company is suspect, and his trademarked product QuartzClinical referenced on the website was registered in only March 2020 and abandoned 9 month later!

How did all this escape the alleged internal peer review process of two medical journals?
