After a month of controversy following the retraction of the Surgisphere paper trashing the drug. But what to do about the op-ed endorsing the views in the paper?:
As questions swirled around the paper, Stuart Spencer, an editor at The Lancet, told Funck-Brentano to wait for the audit — which turned out to be impossible because Surgisphere would not cooperate. The journal’s ethical review committee then contacted Funck-Brentano, letting him know that the paper would be retracted and that the commentary would have to be, too.

The journal received the advice to retract the op-ed and publish a new one, so:
The journal — which, along with the JAMA journals has been using the “retract and replace” approach — agreed to that. Funck-Brentano and his colleague, along with a new co-author, wrote a new version, and it was accepted a few weeks ago.
The retraction and republication appears today. “A month after Surgisphere paper retraction, Lancet retracts, replaces hydroxychloroquine editorial” at Retraction Watch
