Honestly, while I agree retractions take too long in almost any case, having something retracted doesn't stop people from using it to underline their course of action.

I mean, do I have to mention the Wakefield vaccine paper even? Everyone knows its a load of crap. Its already retracted for years, and? Did people stop believing this?
