George Washington University’s Milken Institute School of Public Health is standing by its study that found an estimated 2,975 excess deaths in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria last year could be attributed to the devastating storm, the school said in a statement on Thursday.
The statement was issued just hours after President Trump tweeted that the nearly 3,000-person death toll was incorrect and had been inflated by Democrats to make him “look as bad as possible.”
The university disputed that claim. “The study, commissioned by the Government of Puerto Rico, was carried out with complete independence and freedom from any kind of interference,” the school said. “We are confident that the number — 2,975 — is the most accurate and unbiased estimate of excess mortality to date.”
