In retracting the article, Lancet did not say its conclusions were false. They said because the peer reviewers could not review the data, they could not verify it.
"Our independent peer reviewers informed us that Surgisphere would not transfer the full dataset, client contracts, and the full ISO audit report to their servers for analysis as such transfer would violate client agreements and confidentiality requirements."
For those that deal in conspiracies, this is a conspiracy. I think the only conspiracy is the conspiracy among conspiracy theorists to promote conspiracies. Funny how these conspiracies are never proven. When people lose interest in them, they are simply replaced with new conspiracies. It is an industry. And the people that promote them are all wackadoodle. They are either radio personalities or living in their tin foil lined basements.
For Bernard, the Lancet is not a French publication, so it is automatically suspect. He believes in Didier Raoul, a Frenchman, who, by his own admission, has never done a scientific experiment in his life.
