There has been a lot of questions about the Gaza health ministry death toll numbers.

UN and others were quoting it but few months ago, they revisited the number and almost halved it because a lot of the numbers were very questionable and not reliable.

I thought there was some new research that said they were reliable? Or is that referring to the revisited numbers?

The Lancet piece was not peer reviewed I believe.

Not only was it not peer reviewed, it was essentially a letter to the editor predicting a possible future indirect death total of 180k.

he's not talklng about that one. you're conflating two different things

he's talking about this

Lancet continuing its legacy of publishing shoddy articles that just muddy the waters. You’d think they’d learn after giving legitimacy to the anti-vax movement.
