Harvard basically determined the number through an opinion poll of a small number of households extrapolated to the whole island, ignoring the documentary evidence available. Other studies, which came up with just a fraction of the Harvard number counted the stack of death certificates.

To justify the Harvard methodology you would first have to demonstrate that there is a statistically significant number deaths (e.g. corpus delecti) for which no death certificate was provided.

Democrats should be crucified, or at least called out, for what they did.

WF was restoring power and Democrats CANCELLED THE CONTRACT!

Democrats should own that.

I can't believe Democrats were able to take control of the narrative and describe WF as a 'two man operation'.

They're CONTRACTORS. They hire out. One man can do it.

The Left can push this all they want. Yes, the true ideologues will believe it, but no one else with an ounce of common sense will think Trump 6 months in office is somehow connected to the affects Hurricanes in Puerto Rico.

Will take a very long time to sort through all of the data. Stay strong. We need you!

The retained search part of my consulting company would round file any resume’ from Harvard or the Ivy couch. Those self centered egos would destroy any company they ran.

Media used Hurricane Katrina to help destroy W. Bush. They wanted the same for this storm.

Truth doesn’t matter to Leftists.

They lie as easily as they breath.

Only a FOOL trusts a Leftist’s words ...

This is the same sort of approach they used to “tabulate” the number of Iraqis who died “because of UN sanctions” or during the Iraq war. They surveyed households and if a family said “We lost our father, Kalid,” that’s one. Then if the family next door (who are relatives) said “We lost our Uncle Kalid,” and then the family on the other side said “We lost our cousin Kalid,” they counted it as 3 different deaths. It’s clearly the same guy, but shh... Then they also compared the population to what it was some years ago, or the birthrate... it’s absolute bullcrap.

When I read the Harvard report, I wondered why there was no coverage of mass funerals weeks after the storm.

Excellent point.

I am not buying one single word of this ‘repost’.

1. PR is a small country in acreage, so HERE could they hide/bury/handle 4600 or more BODIES?

2. If those ‘bodies’ were just laying out in the sun to rot, the stench would have been so bad no one could have ignored it.

3. There ACTUALLY WAS a competent POWER company on site in the first days after the hurricane..
Local politicians refused to pay them after a couple of weeks work had been done & they needed payment for their workers.
NO MONEY-—the power company left.

I would have left, also.

Keep in mind, when PR sent out for bids on doing this power work, they only had 3 bidders, and when it became know that 2 of them REQUIRED a DEPOSIT, PR wouldn’t pay a deposit, and only one power company was still in play.

After a “We are not paying for your serves’ standoff a couple of weeks after starting the job, they also bailed.

Find me ONE single company here on FR that would NOT have done the same.

I am only a one person bookkeeping service-—for over 38 years. IF a client didn’t pay me, I held onto their records & then demanded CASH—for which I would sign a receipt-—to get their stuff back.

I never did one more minute of work for them.

One of them was so bad, I passed around the word to blackball them.

Harvard is a joke like CNN, Washington Post and University of California system wide.

Harvard gives automatic A and B grades so that virtually everyone leaves with a high GPA. It is no longer anything by which to be influenced.

Shoe me 4600 ++ VALID Death Certificates.

Those on Soc Sec would have been paid $255 for funeral benefits.

IF those funeral benefits were NOT paid out for people in PR, another lie Trump can bust open.

IF some people escaped to the USA, they are NOT dead.

Why? Most people are NOT on Social Security so what on earth does the lack of funeral benefits prove?

That many deaths would have made 60 Minutes or one of the evening newscasts...

Power grid was antiquated; Obama did nothing for eight years to fix this outdated infrastructure.

plus....They were hit by TWO HURRICANES!

How is that Trumps fault? It’s not.

I wonder how many people were buried in rural areas without an official death certificate because they were starting to rot and stink. How will they be counted officially???

Beside Kenya, soetoro supposedly came from Harvard.

Harvard is inequal opportunity, affirmative action garbage.

Ptuh!
