Not trying to imply anything here, but you do know that peer review doesn't stop at publication. Indeed, many scientific discoveries that are later found wanting are frequently denounced post-publication, usually stemming from additional discoveries, but also when those doing the reviewing only heard about the study after it was published.
If you believe it, question it. If you question it, get an answer. If you have an answer, does that answer satisfy reality? Does it satisfy you? Probably not. For no one else will agree with you, not really.
