Dr Richard Horton, Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet, was presented with a Physicians for Human Rights 2021 Award in a ceremony broadcast globally May 16. This year’s award honored the medical, public health and scientific experts, philanthropists and advocates “working to bring evidence-based and rights-based solutions to the global COVID-19 response.”

cough; PACE trial is still there Dr Horton.
 
Though Dr Horton was helpfully outspoken in the British press about the acute aspects of the pandemic (it really peeved me that I had to agree with what he was saying), until he acknowledges the failings of the PACE trial he is leaving many people with Long Covid at risk of harmful misguided medical interventions.
 
I expect Dr Richard Horton will be presenting Dr Anthony Fauci with an award soon enough, describing his “tireless and dedicated drive for advancing public health and social justice on an intergalactic level.” These people are worse than actors. Perhaps when they have finished being luvvies they could start cleaning up the mess they've been complicit in creating? You know, the one where thousands of people have been left to rot or actively maligned and abused for decades? Social justice my arse.

Who can forget Horton and the Lancet's contribution to quality science during the pandemic?

Their reviewers couldn't even catch blatant fraud:

Covid-19: Lancet retracts paper that halted hydroxychloroquine trials

Interestingly, until very recently (until about a month ago), there were 4 examples of "scientific controversies" mentioned on the Wikipedia page of the Lancet, including the one you mentioned. Now suddenly there are only two (PACE and the paper that said vaccines cause autism), the hydroxycholoroquine one is gone. (And the other one that disappeared was about a Norwegian cancer researcher's withdrawn papers because he fabricated the data.) Of course, this may be a simple coincidence.

still no reply to this:
On 13 November 2015, an open letter to the medical journal,The Lancet, was directed at its editor, Dr. Richard Horton, by six experts in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, calling for the PACE trial data to be independently reanalysed.[1]The Lancet published an article in on the PACE trial in 2011, Comparison of adaptive pacing therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy, graded exercise therapy, and specialist medical care for chronic fatigue syndrome (PACE): a randomized trial, in which claims made by the trial authors have since been shown to be in error after being sued to release the study's raw data.[2][3]

Following a lack of response, the open letter was submitted again three months later, this time with 42 signatories.[4] A third letter was sent 10 June 2018 and had 94 signatories.[5] The third letter was resent on July 9th, 2018 and had additional signatories which included Members of Parliament, the Countess of Mar, and patient advocacy organizations
