I think that what is sort of a sideline in this article is really a more important story. The Lancet and NEJM have completely debased themselves and destroyed centuries of institutional credibility in their handling of covid related research. I don't know where it goes from here but they have both burned themselves to the ground.

The Lancet does this all the time. To add a few more examples to the sibling comments: The fraudulent HCQ paper*, the absurd Iraq war casualty calculation.
In general, assume that whenever there's politics or the opportunity to shock, the Lancet won't be very thorough with its articles.
* The conclusion being accidentally right doesn't cover for the fraudulent data.
