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)
