[ExI] please analyze this article

Would someone more well-versed in the statistical argument presented please critically examine the argument in this article. It looks quite suspicious to me to go from a meta-analysis of other articles that did not explicitly find a link between asthma and gas stoves to a the number of gas stoves in existence and the rate of asthma plus a bit of mathematical jargon to conclude 12.1% correlation between asthma (much less) correlation and gas stoves in the home. Yet this suspicious article is being widely referred to in MSM as support from "the Science" for banning gas stoves.

And of course those that question this latest bit of trumpeted "wisdom" are being called "deniers" and worse as per quite sad usual today.
