Authors of disputed “uncanny” 2019-nCoV preprint to voluntarily withdraw preprint:
"It was not our intention to feed into the conspiracy theories...we appreciate the criticisms...and will get back with a revised version” biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

It is worth pointing out that no editor worth their salt would ever permit such nonsense to go into public domain. It was not their intention to feed into conspiracy theories? Seriously?

That’s probably true. But in this era of predatory journals there are editors who would - see for example this ‘peer reviewed’ paper jpsr.pharmainfo.in/Documents/Volu… so I suspect someone would have.

Wall clock on debunk with preprint...
Days.
That is an accelerated review system!
Meanwhile ZeroHedge is deplatformed for linking to this only exacerbating the conspiracy via Streisand effect.
Censorship doesn’t work.

So, the open expert peer review actually worked in this case without the need for editors and the ‘secret privileged reviewers’!

Only because it's such a hot topic. I can't see a normal pre-print receiving this kind of attention.

This is good. Seems like a useful feature for bioRxiv to have a “retracted” banner. The way that there’s currently a banner for a revision.
