Top medical journal which in 2020 was used to promote the COVID-19 Official narrative.

The Lancet is a medical journal, which prior to 2020 was highly reputed. In Autumn 2020 its March statement terming proponents of the non-natural origin of Sars-Cov2 as "conspiracy theorists" was revealed to have been prepared by Peter Daszak, a funder of gain of function research on bat coronaviruses. In 2020, The Lancet also published a faked paper which claimed that hydroxychloroquine was ineffective and dangerous when used to treat Covid-19.

Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness.”Richard Horton2015
