Isn't the lancet the same journal that has published the vax-autism and hydroxychloroquine studies?

The Lancet has been around for 200 years. It publishes weekly.

It's a highly regarded journal, but it doesn't mean 100% of the papers published are perfect.

If you're trying to dismiss a study because it was published in The Lancet then that's not a convincing line of reasoning to anyone who understands the scientific publishing landscape.

These dismissals based on the source rather than the material are getting really annoying. We’re supposed to be intellectuals here, we can do better than that.
