If it gives you any hope, the Speicher article is not yet retracted. Its been under investigation for nearly a year... but once you see the connections between Taylor & Francis "Research Integrity Team" to PubSmear via Nick Wise... Im not holding my breath. In many ways the Investigation process revealed so much more about them then is did us.

Not only did PubSmear fabricate AI-slop about our paper accusing us of using citations incorrectly... it turned out their AI platform hallucinated text from the citation to use against us. They literally sent text to the Journal as evidence of us misusing that citation and that text DID NOT EVEN exist in the citation they accused us of mis-representing.

When we reported their public confession of error to the Journal, another attack quickly emerged from Retraction Watch. They contacted us claiming they had an anonymous whistleblower who claimed to be one of our peer reviewers. This person was 'Whistleblowing' that he actually rejected the paper. Retraction Watch is IT illiterate and didnt realize the Anon PDF they sent us had meta data in it which revealed the Whistleblower and PDF author as being Rolf Marschalek.. a DFG funded vaccine researcher who was the last author on the Kaiser paper we were refuting!

This exposed 2 crimes. 1)Rolf violated his NDA for the review... Not that we care. We have asked the journal to make the whole peer review public now that Rolf has only exposed one side of it (his critiques). 2)Taylor and Francis should not have handed our paper to an author we were directly challenging in a closed review process as it gives the defending author the power of anon censorship of critiques of their own work. This is an overt conflict of interest for them to have done this. After we revealed that Retraction Watch blew the cover of their Whistleblower and the conflicts of interest he had, they quickly republished a whitewashed article pretending Rolf was brave enough to put his name on the critique and face the misinformation mob. In the same article titled "Exclusive: Reviewer recommended against publishing paper on DNA in COVID vaccines". One of the many problems with this Whitewashing article was that the Editor of the journal was contacted and refuted that any rejection had ever occurred. Rolf accepted the manuscript with edits and they had all the receipts.

It turns out Rolf Marschalek played the same dirty games with Konig et al papers on this very topic.
