Frontiers Removes Controversial Ivermectin Paper Pre-Publication

Frontiers ==[Frontiers in Pharmacology]

After being contacted by The Scientist, the journal posted a statement from Frontiers’s chief executive editor, Frederick Fenter, saying that “Frontiers takes no position on the efficacy of ivermectin as a treatment of patients with COVID-19, however, we do take a very firm stance against unbalanced or unsupported scientific conclusions.”

This happened in earlier in the year. The paper was subsequently published in The American Journal of Therapeutics. The full text is online if anyone is interested.

Important to note.

This is not "censorship" this is "the system works" in respect to retraction.
