Dr. Xavier Figuera: “It is best to debate the merits and deficiencies of published investigations in the open, without resorting to editorial backdoors to “clean the record”. Editorial retractions are unaccountable….I have to start by apologizing to Dr. Mark Skidmore (including Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Jessica Rose) for not highlighting and addressing the retractions and withdrawals of peer-reviewed and accepted papers. Due to the recent retraction of their paper by Dr. James Lyons-Weiler and Dr. Paul Thomas, I started a Change.org petition to present to the editors – it looks like I will need to expand the petition to include all these authors.”
