Is The Lancet considered a good/unbiased journal? As someone who is not a medical researcher, my awareness of it comes mainly from their various controversies (link between vaccines and autism, Iraq war deaths, letter for Gaza, etc).

It is generally well-regarded. Its editors have a political position that is occasionally exhibited in the publication of agenda-based content, but for the most part and with all the usual caveats it is trustworthy where scientific papers are concerned.
Yes it is highly rated journal, I have not read the article yet but the headline seems like a fact than an opinion.
