“The 2011 Lancet paper, about the first artificial trachea implant, claimed the recipient had no complications 5 months after the surgery. That wasn’t true, and given his role in the original surgery and in referring patient biopsies afterward, Grinnemo [pathologist] had to know this, the report says. Although “all credit must go … to the four whistleblowers for submitting a thoroughly grounded complaint and thus triggering this investigation,” that doesn’t clear Grinnemo, the report says.”
