Are they doing more good than harm? That's the more interesting question.

Another headline from that same 'quality' source...


The New World Order is no longer hiding in the shadows. They are utilizing their total domination of civilization to bring your morality into a new dark age.

"There are about 784,000 iatrogenic deaths (deaths induced inadvertently by a physician or surgeon or by medical treatment or diagnostic procedures) a year in the US. No one complains about those deaths."

No one complains about those deaths? Really? Has the author never heard of a medical malpractice lawsuit?

And the risk of promoting worthless treatments leads to deaths. And you didn't bother to read the piece to which you just linked. Wow!

You believe it to be sincere when conflating accidental hospital deaths with 'deaths at the hands of science'?

If so, do apply this fallacious sentiment consistently (e.g., you blame food, in and of itself, for the 1,500 choking deaths from food per year)?

If not, what then is precise and relevant difference?

(BTW... welcome back-- I dig the latest iteration of your nom de plume much more than the last one)

Dozens of times. This data has been debunked enough times that you owe DU an apology for attempting to pass it off as honest science.
