Study that found suspiciously low incidence of Long #COVID19 in kids is retracted after multiple methodology errors.

errors happen, the important thing to me is that once they have been found, they are recognised, investigted and any related papers are retracted so others know there is or was a problem.
@zleap I suppose, except:
1. Many experts thought the study had a flawed methodology to begin with that was intended to bias the outcome. And the retraction doesn't even address those concerns. They made many other mistakes.
2. This research was picked up in many news media headlines claiming children were at little to no risk of long covid. That was wrong, and the retraction won't correct that damage.
