I won't add to Aart's summary as it does the job better than I could. Thank you @avstekelenburg.bsky.social, Mariska Kleemans and Loes Pouwels for all of your help and support in bringing this rather joyless project to print. I would say 'completion', but questions remain...

Also, I think the possibilities for inoculation-inspired approaches to persuasion by misinformation are real and this might be seen as positive evidence against such approaches (it's not, it's evidence against this one study that means the approach does not have credible meta-analytic support).

This means we don't know their grounds for ignoring almost all of the issues raised, while at the same time it might appear to some the issues have been addressed in the correction.

I'm really glad it is published and finally out there (thank you JMIR), but I'm also disheartened that the issued correction to the paper does not address our concerns, and that the researchers have waived their right of reply.
