Here is yet another debunking article I’ve written, this one in the latest issue of Significance. It shows the Lancet once again publishing spectacularly wrong information that has misinformed public discussion on a crucial issue with ongoing reverberations.

I haven’t had a chance to look at this one, but here’s a link to some related Spagat work.
