...to my knowledge has never been itself discredited, by anyone with any of their own credentials, anyway.
The way it was used was questionable, but the study itself was clear and outlined its own limitations. The authors stated that, based on the samples they studied, an extrapolation would indicate around 100,000 excess deaths in Iraq since the start of the war. There was a margin of error stated, which was standard statistical practice, and the authors said that the extrapolation was subject to errors.
As far as I know, it remains the only statistical survey of death rates before and after the war. If you know of any other reputable studies, please point to them.
In the meantime, please stop with your line that the Lancet study has been discredited - that only happened in your mind.
