It's a good thing science isn't politicized. If it was this retraction would be suspect too.



If you're implying that the retraction is suspect, could you point out a particular section?


Everything in the human sphere is 'politicized', but that doesn't mean politics is the only game in town, i.e. that all science is politicized and thus the retraction should be assumed to be political.


Gaming the process this blatantly is ground for immediate retraction in any sane journal. Politics do not matter at this point. This sort of things happens regularly for many papers, not only papers some people happen to find convenient in their misguided arguments.


On what grounds?


Lol, are you saying the politicization is that bunk science was retracted and not that bunk science was fabricated for SCOTUS to lean on?
