[JW Insider]

Unfortunately, one of those links to fake news is the article by Jon Barron at https://jonbarron.org/article/blood-transfusions-may-have-killed-millions

It supposedly works off one of the Duke studies, and then extrapolates that millions may have died, when in fact, the Duke study said no such thing. Additionally, it turned out that this particular Duke study was not confirmed by further studies.. JWs started popularizing this link in 2011 and 2012 just before the letter came out. It's also included in a list of links @Kurt included here:

As Witnesses, even elders are anxious to believe such information, because it kind of fits the hype that we wish was true about blood transfusion, but then the HLC, and the WTS gets laughed at over the misuse of information, which is off by a few orders of magnitude.
