The Epoch Times: Major Scientific Publisher Retracts More Than 500 Papers

2022-09-25. Emphasis added.

One of the world’s largest open-access journal publishers is retracting more than 500 papers, based on the discovery of unethical actions.

London-based Hindawi, which publishes more than 200 peer-reviewed journals across multiple disciplines, stated that its research team identified in June “irregularities” in the peer review process in some of the journals.

The best way to evaluate a scientific study is to see if it matches your own confirmation bias, since that’s as good as anything else... support your team!

Still think COVID studies have legitimacy?
