I should point out here - they say they have data from 4 Australian hospitals and 63 deaths EVEN TODAY this is not possible unless they have data from NSW AND Victoria, and both states report that they didn't send any data through Worrying

Wait what? I mean, who fakes their data in a situation like this. It must be real and obtained somehow other than through official channels?

That said, the type of error identified was misclassifying a hospital location in blinded data (hard to check). It raises questions about general data quality, but probably is not decisive per se.

I am much more concerned with channeling leading to confounding by indication, which is not something their approach handles even without data errors
