Isn’t the Lancet the publication who promoted that obviously bogus COVID study then retracted it without an apology? Why should we trust them again?

Yeah the Lancet has had some questionable publishing standards as of late, but the thing about science is that you should always hold everything loosely, run more experiments, try to disprove pást studies' findings, and take everything with a grain of salt until it's confirmed by several peer reviewed studies. So, we shouldn't trust the Lancet, and we don't need to, because everything in proper science should always be taken with a grain of salt.
