(NaturalNews) Everyone agrees the Sandy Hook shooting was a tragedy. Lots of people subsequently exploited the deaths of those children to push a political agenda of disarming Americans by claiming "guns kill people."
But compared to what? Swimming pools kill people. Horseback riding kills people. And yes, even
childbirth kills people. (Does that mean we should criminalize getting pregnant?)
To make any sense of death statistics, we have to ask, "Compared to what?" Because if we compare deaths by firearms to other causes of death, the picture is very, very different from the doomsday fear mongering scenarios CNN and other gun control pushers have whipped up into a nationwide frenzy. In fact, as the following infographic shows,
doctors kill 2,450% more Americans than all gun-related deaths combined.
Your doctor is FAR more likely to kill you than an armed criminal
It's true: You are 64 times more likely to be killed by your doctor than by someone else wielding a gun. That's because 19,766 of the total 31,940 gun deaths in the USA (in the year 2011) were suicides. So the actual number of deaths from
other people shooting you is only 12,174.
Doctors, comparatively, kill 783,936 people each year, which is 64 times higher than 12,174. Doctors shoot you not with bullets, but with vaccines, chemotherapy and pharmaceuticals... all of which turn out to be FAR more deadly than guns.
This is especially amazing, given that there are just under 700,000
doctors in America, while there are roughly about
80 million gun owners in America.
How do 700,000 doctors manage to kill 783,936 people each year (that's over one death per doctor), while 80 million
gun owners kill only 31,940? Because owning a gun is orders of magnitude safer than "practicing" medicine!
Check out the following infographic, which can also be viewed in a higher resolution at:
www.naturalnews.com/Infographic-Firearms-vs-Doctors-Drugs.html
As the infographic explains, you are
over three times more likely to be killed by a drug side effect than a firearm.
On the firearms side of things, you are almost twice as likely to be killed by YOURSELF than by someone else using a gun. But even this number can't be blamed on
guns themselves, because if people really want to commit suicide, they will find other ways to accomplish it (such as jumping off buildings or bridges).
Where is the call for "doctor control?"
Despite the statistical fact that you are overall 24.5 times more likely to be killed by your doctor than by a gun -- and it's actually far worse if you spend more time around doctors than you do gang members -- there is absolutely no call in the media for "
doctor control."
There's zero talk about making medications safer, or reducing the number of people who are medicated every day in America.
There's no mention of the astonishing fact that
surgical procedures do not need to be proven safe and effective before being tried on patients. Surgery in America is, in effect, a grand experiment often conducted with little or no scientific support.
There's no discussion of the fact that psychiatric drugs
promote violent shootings as we've seen over and over again across America.
Nope, the entire focus is on how BAD guns are, while the government simultaneously promotes how GOOD vaccines are! ...and chemotherapy, surgery, pharmaceuticals and everything else that's killing us
en masse.
Every U.S. hospital is another Sandy Hook
Hundreds of people are killed every single day across U.S. hospitals from pharmaceutical side effects alone. On top of that, hospitals are killing people with
superbug infections, fouled up surgeries, and failed heart stents, among other deadly problems.
Sandy Hook was the tragedy the government
wanted you to see. But they didn't want you to pay attention to all the
deaths happening elsewhere -- in far greater numbers -- such as at hospitals and via pharmacies.
Because all those deaths overseen by doctors and pharmacists are making billions of dollars for the corrupt, criminally-run pharmaceutical industry and the for-profit, corporate-driven health care complex.
While Sandy Hook was mass murder, the U.S. health care system is practically a
holocaust. In fact,
the U.S. health care system has killed more people than Adolf Hitler -- by far!
Spread the word: If we want to save lives, the most important place to start is at the doctors and drug companies. They are
dealers of death who have been granted obscene monopolies by the FDA and state medical boards. Until their stranglehold on U.S. health care is finally broken, millions more innocent Americans will die at the hands of doctors, surgeons and pharmacists.
