Your pathetic dredge of the crapola Lancet report does nothing but
further illustrate the shortcomings of the ORB report.

The lancet report has been discredited almost as much as you have.

NEJM clearly set out to lower the numbers for political purposes,

The Doctor's World
For Science's Gatekeepers, a Credibility Gap

Recent disclosures of fraudulent or flawed studies in medical and
scientific journals have called into question as never before the
merits of their peer-review system.

The system is based on journals inviting independent experts to
critique submitted manuscripts. The stated aim is to weed out sloppy
and bad research, ensuring the integrity of the what it has published.

Because findings published in peer-reviewed journals affect patient
care, public policy and the authors' academic promotions, journal
editors contend that new scientific information should be published in
a peer-reviewed journal before it is presented to doctors and the
public.

That message, however, has created a widespread misimpression that
passing peer review is the scientific equivalent of the Good
Housekeeping seal of approval.

Virtually every major scientific and medical journal has been humbled
recently by publishing findings that are later discredited. The flurry
of episodes has led many people to ask why authors, editors and
independent expert reviewers all failed to detect the problems before
publication.
