Most popular are pseudo intellectuals doctors and scientists.Quality of research shows black hole at global level.Unethical trial on humans is a slur on intelligentsia.
All this is consequence of overzealous editorial boards of mighty medical journals comfortably cocooned in their influential position. And forgetting to uphold famous insight of Adam Smith – Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm & superstition.
Much touted culture of “publish or perish” has created ‘Rock-Star’ authors, who can get anything published.
Impact of ‘Big Pharma’ on what gets published in medical journals is well documented.
Covid-19 is an illness which is into 6 months of its existence. We still don’t know anything about ‘Patient Zero’ in China. There is still significant dearth of data about how this illness affects different segments of humanity: age, sex, race, nutrition, prior immune status, co-morbidities – common and uncommon – etc. Similarly, totality of its presenting symptoms, their natural course, responsiveness to available treatments, etc. is largely unknown. Yet scientific / medical journals are flooded with studies on Covid-19, which is very enthusiastic.
These uncertainties have been further compounded by politicization at global level.
So you saying it’s a co-op by these Indo-dominated professionals?
Damn…!
Reprehensible. Totally reprehensible.
No wonder the masses are still under the hold of some kind of world neo-religion in 2020.
Gone through this article but found nothing serious article written.
If India has to come up with a devastating apology face, no one can imagine what is going to happen.
Is it an advertisement of both about success stories! There is no point saying so if someone is fraud.
This article is not satisfactory.
My promoter of Ph D used to say there are 3 types of lies : white lie, blue lie and statistical lies.
But astonished to see the ethics of people of the Golden States of India.
Shame on their tendency of quick bucks ! As diamond traders or Share Market operators or in politics or in religious business – it is a shame !
I think peer review should be proper, Desai like elements must be Punished as seriouly as possible. Lancet and NEJM must improve the peer review aspect of scrutiny. Medical research must be trustworthy. It is related to LIFE. Comments about race and ethinicity should be better avoided. One fake research cannot spoil the work of thousands of dedicated research workers………..Research solved many issues in medical practice.
That you would be making the very same comments if the Indians would’ve been replaced with Pakistanis or worse, any “M”-majority nationals in a hypothetical:
N-O-T
It must be the brown people’s fault.
When white people do it, it is science, and when brownies do, then its a scandal.
This is not the first time, look at what happened to Rajat Gupta.
It seems to me that the evidence of fraud points to Sapan Desai who hides behind “confidential agreement” as an excuse to not share reasonable requested information on his raw data. Remember Theranos CEO who used “trade secrets” as an excuse to not share reasonable info on their Edison device? Desai’s technology is his database in which nobody can validate it. 99.9% scam risk right here. Red flags all over the place ?. I trust Dr. Mehra’s apology and his good intentions when he requested the articles be retracted immediately to reduce further harm from the study results. He prevented a catastrophic, Andrew Wakefield level of harm to humanity worldwide by acknowledging his mistake honestly and quickly.
Lancet should ban this mafia of bogus article authors. Now it’s proved that plagrism, bogus data, data manipulation and gift AUTHORSHIP is quite common among authors from India.
Lancet is to be saluted for its article about Indian atrocities in Indian occupied KASHMIR
Ms Sheena..it’s not indian occupied..correction it’s India’s state of Kashmir..part of the country and we will take back what has been snatched by your mother country…
Why are you a pakistani on indian newspapers trolling?
Recent articles from shekhar Gupta indicates that he’s in the process of becoming a “BHAKT”.
Shekhar Guptha pregnancy is over & a Bhakth already delivered….! To be tested for COVID-19 of brain.
thats cos he has realised the truth …. n he is no more kambhakt like the paid presstitutes of rubbishkumar n the pedo jihadi combine of sidd varadrajan or arfa khanum or randi ayyub … or brahminical high caste morons like abhisar sharma ….durka butt or Gu Ha or other frustrated morons … he is relaying teh truth and its good over the paid presstitutes of opposition scumbags who are so low iq thta it does not make any sense
you dont deserve even to interact with no body can tolrate you an uneducated person
ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research) has recommended use of HCQ HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE to Doctors and Healthcare Professionals dealing with COVID-19 Patients . ….These 2 Clowns should have known the ICMRs Recommendations of HCQ before doctoring Report and bring a bad name to Indian Doctors questioning their Integrity.
Another abhorrent case from the Brigham Hospital. What ever needs to be done to stay on the top, even faking data is ok for as long as the tenure is not in question… His apology is NOT valid and NOT ACCEPTED! Shame on you, shame!!!!
Looks like Dr Desai has a bigger role in this mess as Dr Mehra’s knowledge and reputation are high and not suspect. The reputation of the venerated Lancet has been sullied. Did not the peer reviewers notice any abnormality now being pointed out by everyone?
I think there is more stink than meets the nose with this Desai chap. It appears that he is in cahouts with some pharma giants and doing the ‘dirty work’ in exchange for moolah! Poor Mehra got caught with his pants down in his hurry to grab some Corona ‘limelight’! And it all is easy as cake walk if your ‘research findings’ show something that India has hit upon as bad or ‘uscientific’, even outright dangerous! It is a flavour liked so much by majority of premier journals and western publishing houses controlled by the MNC giant pharma firms. It’s time this unhealthy nexus is completely exposed by the Indian government and its scientific establishments. If in the process some ambitious, ‘brilliant’, fast track careers of the famous are extinguished and trashed, so be it. It will serve well in the betterment of the entire humanity.
Instead of giving details about there research shortcoming & lacuna , of such doctors but only to criticize the whole research & labeling as SCANDAL is not fair to malign the image & there hard work in research……after all this is PRINT….every body knows….
So, we should give capital punishment to these scamsters who put a scare into people and governments for not prescribing the medicine to the victims who would have lived if the same had been provided.

Desai, Mehta, Parekh, Nirav modi, are these specialise in scandals, frauds and cheating. ?
I now doubt the pictured glorious future of my society and country.
Dear Author, you wrote an long article but couldn’t depict what was the exact scandal rather it seems you ended up writing their biographies. Please stick to the points.
Indians are available to highest bidder anyday. Big pharma don’t like hqc because it is cheap so they hired lowest scums to publish faulty study.
I hope these quacks end up in jail for long long time… but sadly no laws against faulty studies. But talk about side effects of vaccine and you end up getting your licence revoked and may even be put behind bars for decades. Big pharma is worst drug dealer in history of civilization
Ghjaratis are business community.
But not the community of blood sucking like service class who don’t do any work without taking money even on death also they want money .
Change your perception for gujaratis.
HCQ is with us for about 80 years.
its effect on heart rate, if given in prescribed dosages appears to be safe.
This controversy about this drug in Covid-19 patients, may have other dimensions.
This needs to be probed.
The role of Lancet in all of this is a bit too spooky to be ignored. It has already tarnished its image among Indian medical diaspora by exposing its non-medical views on Art. 370 last year. I mean which scientific journal does that? And that too of such high repute! Its only harming its prestige !
Does this Dr Sapan Desai have a medical license to perform vascular surgery?

EXCELLENTLY put, my Dear Sir!!
Another example of the Gujarat model perhaps ?
You are such a bullshit who keeps region and religion over knowledge.
low iq retard … what has gujarat got to do here .. ? must be a pedophile model ..
Well said, gujaratis have indeed established themselves.
The Lancet has long turned political. It wrote an article on the ammendment to Article 370. Now Karma has come to bite it.
So you saying it’s a co-op by these Indo-dominated professionals?

Useless fellows
What is the conclusion.
HCQ can now be useful for the Pandamic, which the Author had to reiterate.
Just like that publishing some waste fellows mischievous admission not sufficient.
What punishment they will get.
Another abhorrent case from the Brigham Hospital. What ever needs to be done to stay on the top, even faking data is ok for as long as the tenure is not in question… His apology is NOT valid and NOT ACCEPTED! Shame on you, shame!!!!

Guptaji, ye aadmi nal gal nahi bani.
Where there is alie,cheating fooling people or looting gujju is everywhere be politics , industries,administration ,judiciary or bussiness.
Action must be taken against Mr. Desai by US govt. Will they do.
This report is exactly for what? To bring their scandal into light or to advertise their career excellence. Got confused.
Big threats to mankind !
Leo
I think there is more stink than meets the nose with this Desai chap. It appears that he is in cahouts with some pharma giants and doing the ‘dirty work’ in exchange for moolah!

Indians are everywhere.
These fake researchers should be hanged. How many people have been killed because of their fake research papers?
So, we should give capital punishment to these scamsters who put a scare into people and governments for not prescribing the medicine to the victims who would have lived if the same had been provided.

Couldn’t agree more
Agree, I am none the wiser on what the scandal was.
When conclusion drives the research, it no longer becomes objective search for truth
Is it by accident that Dr. Mehra’s hospital is doing 2 trials with remdesvir while he trashes HCQ? I think not. Both these doctors are dirty.
Indians are available to highest bidder anyday. Big pharma don’t like hqc because it is cheap so they hired lowest scums to publish faulty study.
I hope these quacks end up in jail for long long time… but sadly no laws against faulty studies. But talk about side effects of vaccine and you end up getting your licence revoked and may even be put behind bars for decades. Big pharma is worst drug dealer in history of civilization
The Gujarati is the fraud out of the two Indians involved. Now, isn’t that surprising?
Ofcourse being a Gujrati, what more can u expect…making quick bucks at any cost is in their blood…
Ghjaratis are business community.
But not the community of blood sucking like service class who don’t do any work without taking money even on death also they want money .

These guys are staunch secularists and were out to pull the rug under major supplier of HCQ, India.
The role of Lancet in all of this is a bit too spooky to be ignored. It has already tarnished its image among Indian medical diaspora by exposing its non-medical views on Art. 370 last year. I mean which scientific journal does that? And that too of such high repute! Its only harming its prestige !
Speak for your yourself, dammit!
Or..
…Are you saying all medical-practitioners are as intellectually-challenged as the rest of the masses?
What was the purpose of this article, Gupta Ji?
No body is smart enough to be really smart.
