It was bullshit of course, that publication can't be taken seriously.

In 2004 they published some garbage research that claimed there were 654,965 deaths in the Iraq War. They included the "unborn". So that way the number will keep going up basically forever, which is what they want, just like the Hamas war.

Money and bigotry are ruining scientific research, or what's left of it.
