    [Retracted] Causal Relationship Between Diet, Lipids, Immune Cells, and [CFS]: A Two-Mediation Mendelian Randomization Study, 2025, Li et al

    I wonder if this paper was even written by humans. Doesn't seem like it... Low-quality papers are surging by exploiting public data sets and AI Paper mills are also likely contributing to “false discoveries”

    Special Report - Online activists are silencing us, scientists say Reuters March 2019

    That is exactly what they mean by "silencing". Reminds me of all the quacks alt med practitioners who cry censorship because they can't get their garbage "studies" published in reputable journals without huge backlash from the "militant skeptics".
