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.

(65,011 posts)That site has some magnificent headlines. I could read it all day.
"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?

(35,773 posts)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!
LanternWaste
(37,748 posts)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?

(3,445 posts)and copied the first juicy link that came up, didn't you? Without actually checking if the site was legit or just legitimately tinfoil land?

(35,773 posts)There appears to be no conspiracy this poster won't believe.
EllieBC
(3,445 posts)how some on the right and left meet and agree on crazy conspiracy theories and anti-science woo.
