Perhaps the bad karma of DOGE/Elon being responsible for 14million impending deaths

Say the number is inflated. How many attributable deaths is sufficient to be angry?


What if it was not 14 million, but 14,000 deaths? Would that be ok with you?


The Lancet, which came up with the estimates, is an internationally respected publication https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

Also, ten separate global institutions co-authored this page -- is the conspiracy to inflate deathcount that wide-ranging? What factors on the Lancet's paper are you objecting to specifically?
