Yes, that's my bad. He's pushed ivermectin and stepped down from an editor position because it was outrageous that a fradulant paper on ivermectin was retracted.

They said why they resigned in the paper:

The scientific process requires fair, open, and transparent peer review to proceed effectively and efficiently particularly at this time and for this topic. The actions of Frontiers in this matter clearly violate well established norms and processes for peer review and publication of scientific works and intellectual contributions, and instead have substituted a unilateral, arbitrary, and capricious process. On behalf of our peers, our institutions, and our scientific and medical colleagues we cannot allow this precedent to remain unchallenged. In our opinion, these unfortunate events constitute gross editorial misconduct by Frontiers.
