Let me remind you that the article criticised _other_ extreme diets as
well, as it mentioned a high meat low carb diet (that would be the
Atkins' Diet, I think), so it was not aimed at vegans alone.

There were actually 2 vegan cases mentioned, the other one being the
kids of the Scottish vegans who developed rickets.
