In email to me today @frrodriguezc said "I agree that sanctions contributed to the deterioration in socioeconomic indicators relative to a counterfactual of no sanctions and that in that sense they explain part of the increase in mortality"

In other words he concedes that sanctions kill people. You don't can't deliberately harm an economy in crisis without doing that. Press release was wrong on this key point. That is clear from the text of the paper. Of course you can always dispute the numbers killed

Just one obvious consideration. The @ceprdc study used an Encovi mortality estimate, That comes from anti-Maduro academics. Those sources have tended to exaggerate impact of econ crisis. The gov one the other hand has tended to downplay/hide data

I agree. I have not yet read the report but I have but in the past he has argued that there really isn't a model to show how sanctions kill people. Technically that is true but if we just use logic then yes of course sanctions kill people. Perhaps even more than the 40K.
