The Editorial by Sreeram V Ramagopalan and Michael L Ryan, ‘Will the UK–US pharmaceuticals deal really cause 229,000 excess deaths? A critical appraisal’ (10.57264/cer-2026-0186), included an incorrect competing interest statement when initially published.

The competing interest statement appeared as:
