Actually the answer is no, but it does provide an interesting discussion on retractions:

One of my claims to nerd fame is that it was my investigations that led to an article being
retracted twice from the same journal, which I believe may be a unique historical event.

On a technicality, Wakefield's paper had two retractions. A retraction of the interpretation of the paper by 10 of the authors, followed some years later by a retraction of the rest of the paper.

Almost the opposite - but a very weird rebuttal letter for calls to retract 26 papers here:

Some of the work claimed that people with a "cancer-prone personality" were 121 times more likely to die of cancer than those without it, so a rather implausible biological effect - given the general cancer rate in the population.
