Scholar Mamdani claims 9/11-related illnesses caused more deaths than attacks
Political scientist Mahmood Mamdani argues that diseases linked to the September 11 attacks killed more people than the attacks themselves.
Political scientist Mahmood Mamdani contends that illnesses stemming from the 9/11 attacks resulted in a higher death toll than the approximately 3,000 deaths from the attacks on September 11, 2001.
Mamdani did not provide specifics or detailed methodology in the available excerpt. The claim relates to documented health effects including respiratory illnesses and cancers linked to toxic exposure at Ground Zero.
