@C0PE 1. A crucial #COVID19 paper (tinyurl.com/bp8m326t) with simple #solution that does not have any #vested interest is #retracted seven months after publication in a #PeerReviewed journal @SpringerNature where there could be #conflictofinterest @RetractionWatch.
@C0PE @SpringerNature @RetractionWatch 2.Retraction was initiated by an #influential scientist who doesn't have any research on #COVID. If s/he had co-authored papers with author in other areas, will there not be #ConflictofInterest?
Can it not be verified/disclosed? Who will check if there is #fairness of intention?

@C0PE @SpringerNature @RetractionWatch 3) There was no open #public #debate allowed before retraction. Then how #transparency is maintained and how the right of the author is protected? A negative review can be written for any paper and a paper rejected in one journal can also be published in another journal.
@C0PE @SpringerNature @RetractionWatch 4) Who will check how serious is the concern to retract after publishing in a peer-reviewed journal? Can any #Open debate be organised with that scientist?
@C0PE @SpringerNature @RetractionWatch 5) With due respect I must say, all these comments are not meant for that #influential scientist who initiated the retraction of that #Covid19 paper, but only to step up with a simple solution which has huge implications in such a crucial stage.
