images like this remind me just how retarde i truly am. On first glance i read and instantly came to the conclusion that le black sciencwe nigger is not only trying to take away my guns but is also trying to make some pretentious point about how le stupid humanity is with the statistics. It legit took me an hour or so to realise the actual point hes making. My preconceptions and biases against this niglet almost made me miss the true point being made. I need to read more.

Correlation is obvious just by looking at the graph and the feminist and progressivist society we now live in today.

>>13627579

Globally it is estimated that 142,000 people died in 2013 from adverse effects of medical treatment, an increase of 51 percent from 94,000 in 1990.[9] In the United States, estimated deaths per year include: [26][27][28][29]

12,000 due to unnecessary surgery
7,000 due to medication errors in hospitals
20,000 due to other errors in hospitals
80,000 due to nosocomial infections in hospitals
106,000 due to non-error, negative effects of drugs
Based on these figures, iatrogenesis may cause as many as 225,000 deaths per year in the United States (excluding recognizable error). An earlier Institute of Medicine report estimated 230,000 to 284,000 iatrogenic deaths annually.[26]

He is a popularizer of science. That's fine. But then his expertise isn't psychology, sociology, public policy or whatever he's trying to push here >>13625975
