Of course the citations should be lost (not counted).

But the paragraph is about collaboraters being angry and frustrated. And they seem to be angry at those who faked the data. Which is understandable.

You would hope that this would also mean that collaborators getting their name on a paper would put a little more effort into scutinizing the data provided by co-authors.

Maybe it is just a little to easy to work on paper and just accept the underlying data without asking any questions.
