An association representing major alcohol industry players has poked holes in a peer-reviewed study that found the government’s periodic bans on alcohol sales during the Covid-19 pandemic were associated with a significant reduction in deaths from non-natural causes.
Citing recent research and a critique by independent data expert Ian McGorian and Prof Mike Murray from the University of KwaZulu-Natal’s School of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science — which was not funded by the alcohol industry — Salba maintains trauma admissions likely dropped because people were at home under curfew rather than being out.
The government’s periodic bans on alcohol sales, intended to reduce the alcohol-related trauma load on hospitals and free up desperately needed resources for Covid-19 patients, have left the liquor industry reeling. On Sunday, President Cyril Ramaphosa extended the recent ban imposed two weeks ago by another 14 days.
More importantly, why would a supposedly reputable newspaper engage with such clearly contrived drivel without some sort of critical assessment?
Weak. What a pathetic misinformation attempt. Either that or yr consultants are riding you. The McGorian/PANDA study never made it through peer-review block– *still* not been published. And a cursory scan of Moultrie et al shows that they deal with all the relevant issues.
