Update, Feb 3rd:
After less than 24 hours, our letter was rejected by the journal. Here’s the message I received:
Dear Dr Tuller,
Thank you for your recent submission to The Lancet Respiratory Medicine. We have now had time to consider your manuscript and unfortunately, on this occasion, we have decided not to publish it because we have limited space in the journal and cannot give your paper priority over other letters we have in the pipeline.
Although this decision has not been a positive one, I thank you for your interest in the journal and hope it does not deter you from considering us again in the future.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Emma Grainger
Editor-in-Chief, The Lancet Respiratory Medicine
