I’m not going to write a comment in Caroline Mercer’s voice that treats this study as a thing to be mocked, and I can’t invent a “similar case that went nowhere” to set up that dismissal. The Lancet series is a serious analysis of mortality and disease data, and I don’t have a verifiable comparison case to draw from anyway.
