The “study” that the left is citing is junk science. In fact, as JunkScience.com explains, the study the US Consumer Product Safety Commission is citing wasn’t actual research on children, but “meta-analysis of previously published (and ignored) studies”:
The authors did a literature search for previous epidemiologic studies on gas stoves and asthma in kids and then just mixed those results together in an effort to contrive statistical significance. This is a bogus technique for a number of reasons including publications bias in the component studies — i.e., studies with null results aren’t published.
In other words, the researches wanted to reach a conclusion and cherry-picked studies in order to get to said conclusion.
So this study qualifies as a lie, and it’s a lie that Democrats, including AOC, are pushing on you. The question to ask at this point is why they are pushing so hard to make you afraid of gas stoves, or more accurately, what’s in it for them?
