Let’s keep this “study” in context. First, the goal was to determine that there were indeed large numbers of casualties since the 100,000 number got shot down after it was published. No, 655,000 wasn’t picked out of thin air but using the methodology used, applying the casualty rate linearly across the country, the numbers become very very skewed. What I do find interesting is the few defending this use the “he is a John Hopkins and Harvard guy so don’t question his science”. Stephan Hawking who is smarter than this guy had his theories from “A Brief History of Time” disproven. People that support this guy and his results simply are doing so out of political motivations and real science be damned.
