alt Hacker NewsElon's DOGE is responsible for over 100k deaths. Some died a horrible death with medical devices stuck in them because there was no one to remove them after all funding was instantly cut. One of the most inhumane and disgusting acts in history.

What is your claim for the last one? I'm not finding it on google. What was the program?

That every Musk-adjacent article and PR summary isn’t prefaced with this basic, indisputable fact is repulsive.

All of these numbers are based on a single source, the Impact Counter dashboard made by a BU professor, which is full of methodological problems. It assumes 100% cessation of funds, for example, while in reality there was a freeze.
Do you have reliable citations for this claim rather than general hand-waving?
It felt like the whole news cycle about the deaths was one where nobody critically examined the claim.
I am looking for real data, not claims. If you link articles without real and unambiguous data, it's not helping.
