It's not only about fake science, don't forget the authors and a reviewer lied about their affiliations and conflicts of interest. When a Journal Editor and a publisher realize that they were deceived by plain lies, I would expect them to react as strongly as they did.



Of course, but that's all pretty clear cut (at least in this example) and well spelled out in the retraction.


There are some specifics about which parts of the paper had problems, but I can’t find the original paper to see how those parts look (failed to find at libgen, doesn’t seem to be open-access from what I can tell)
