A Fig leaf.
This is hijacking of open science principles to disguise how horrendously dangerous this is and to "validate" science that sensible places flag as dangerous and wrong.
The danger here is that this is using all the things we advocate for but in the worst ways. This will look completely legitimate. It's difficult to effectively combat this.
"The journal editors feel that publishing a piece along with the criticism, will end some current problems in science such as gatekeeping by editors who reject studies that don’t meet a political litmus test."
