A 2020 paper on using jade amulets to cure COVID has had quite some fallout.
Three years on, the first author sued his institution, Pittsburgh, because he said their response was discriminatory: https://retractionwatch.com/2023/08/11/author-of-paper-on-covid-19-and-jade-amulets-sues-employer-for-mental-anguish-discrimination/. He left the same year and has since founded his own institute for "paradigm shifts".
Five years on, this case and other problems led Clarivate to delist the journal, Elsevier's Science of the Total Environment, from the Web of Science. https://english.elpais.com/science-tech/2025-11-28/the-fall-of-a-prolific-science-journal-exposes-the-billion-dollar-profits-of-scientific-publishing.html

Last year, Scopus blitzed all links to journal websites from their profiles in a clumsy reaction to their data being infiltrated by journal hijackers, i.e., fraudsters who pose as a real journal.
Did it work? No. They're still indexing hijacked content, notes Anna Abalkina on Retraction Watch.
