There was no link included in your response so found what I could. It was not a study that was retracted it was a paper that members of the FLCCC wrote some of which cited their personal evidence as physicians. I didn't have time to respond to your initial claims other than "not true". But, I am not aware of a study these doctors did themselves since they are not researchers.

I am aware of a meta-analysis they support that was completed, published and peer reviewed by Dr. Tess Lawrie, an expert in medicinal evidence out of the UK and who regular works with the WHO, who has cited the benefits of using ivermectin against COVID. There was one study from Egypt that has been removed from the original meta-analysis due to unsubstantiated data to back-up the claims, but that had no effect on the overall meta-analysis and ivermectin still shows a positive effect on treating of COVID.

Also, as you quote above, the paper the doctors wrote was "in the provisional acceptance phase" meaning it wasn't rejected on initial review and in fact had been reviewed multiple times and published in abstract form in the journal. Not sure this would be done if it was so factually incorrect.

You should also include this statement from Kory: In comments on Twitter and in an interview with The Scientist, the organization’s president, Pierre Kory, describes the move as “censorship.” He adds in the interview that the paper had already successfully passed through multiple rounds of review. In reversing the paper’s acceptance, the journal is “allowing some sort of external peer reviewer to comment on our paper,” he says. “I find that very abnormal.”
