    ...is it fair to give out a PhD-title to somebody who doesn't give a shit about science and misses several publications that are easy to find?

No.

    Does somebody who is not a good scientist deserve to do a PhD?

No.

It sounds like you've done nothing wrong. Two colleagues have chosen you as a scapegoat for their incompetence.

Honestly, if these two knuckleheads were your only problem, I'd stay with your current project. But having a bad advisor/boss? That's a deal breaker. As long as it doesn't cost you too much time (the time you've already invested into the project(s) you've been working on), I'd cut my losses, move into another lab, and get a different advisor, if at all possible.

Best of luck, I'm sorry you find yourself in troubled waters.
