The paper was withdraw because the claims were easily falsifiable. Not every paper submitted gets published. Those "researchers" clearly tried to play on the hysteria, and no doubt doomed their careers.

That said, it's more useful to have people openly talk about why the study is fraudulent, than to just censor the discussion.

This is the key point. It sets a terrible precedent for future valid science being easily censored by entities that have an agenda.
