This article doesnt have much substance, I mean if you want to challenge the (almost) scientific consensus on an issue, you need to have a few good smoking guns. I like the idea of lower mortality due to better medical care, but the US is hardly representative of the world.

- andi999 6y ago`Problem might be copyright issues here, but generally I agree.
- TulliusCicero 6y agoYeah seriously, there's almost no substance here. Just stuff like guesses about earlier societies inflating death counts. "Sure, these so called social scientists and historians have data on their side, but I have something even more powerful: supposition!"
