Jousting with the Lancet: Pajamas Media Interviews Professor Gilbert Burnham
Know what the beauty of the Lancet study is? They use a proven, established medical polling methodology used for tracking diseases. They follow that methodology flawlessly. However, they use a very small number of cluster points so that it would be virtually impossible to reproduce or even check the study against any verifiable data. They use a sample that is mostly self chosen rather than random. They publish an 8 page, 8 page! document with no raw data to allow anyone to even try to check their sample. They push for an accelerated peer review so it can be released before November. And Presto! A study that can’t be proven wrong or right. A study that claims a remarkable result without providing a remarkable argument. A study that provides the simple minded a rallying cry of 600,000 dead!
