Medical authorities and like-minded charlatans address public failure with several strategies. One method is to deny error, feign outrage at critics pointing to the screwup, and shroud yourself in the holy mantle of science. When\u00a0caught lying<\/a>\u00a0about the science on masks and the possibility he funded a lab accident in Wuhan, Anthony Fauci famously deployed this strategy by first denying what he had said, and then striking back at his critics, \u201cAttacks on me quite frankly are attacks on science.\u201d<\/p>\n

The second strategy science academics and kindred con artists deploy is to ignore their blunder, blunder onward while feigning expertise, and hope the public has the mental capacity of goldfish who forget their entire world every 15 minutes. After being humiliated several times for publishing COVID misinformation, The Lancet has landed on this second tactic, inverting reality to assert authority on misinformation\u2014the very same topic they fucked up in the recent past.<\/p>\n

But a few were not fooled. The Lancet\u2019s\u00a0announcement that they were publishing two papers<\/a>\u00a0warning about medical misinformation set off howls of laughter and merry disbelief on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou guys may want to sit this one out,\u201d\u00a0quipped conservative commentator<\/a>, Tracy Beanz.<\/p>\n

\u201cMisinformation you say?\u201d\u00a0tweeted another<\/a>, linking to news deriding a bogus study by a company called Surgisphere that the Lancet was forced to retract.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy publishing falsehoods like the surgisphere fraud and the Lancet commission whitewash of lockdown failure and harms, the @Lancet was among the worst contributors to public misinformation during the covid era,\u201d\u00a0tweeted Stanford\u2019s Dr. Jay Bhattacharya<\/a>.<\/p>\n
