Lancet has published other politicized “studies”, including papers on the effect of the U.S. boycott of Iran, number of civilian causalities from the Gulf War. Funny, all their “flawed” studies have an anti-American bias.
The other studies were not so easily and thoroughly debunked as this one.
I remember The Lancet from the Iraq story. They make The Rolling Stone look like Breitbart.
I wonder who financed the study. The Lancet has a history of publishing un-reviewed flawed “scientific” studies on, among other topics, gun deaths, vaccination, and way back to scoffing at the use of antiseptics in surgery. Getting them to admit their error is like pulling teeth.
