A medical massacre that dwarfs the number of deaths from shootings

You are 6200% more likely to be killed by your doctor than by a shooter

(NaturalNews) In the aftermath of the Aurora, Colorado Batman movie theater shooting, President Obama chimed in on the gun control debate yesterday, saying, "Every day, the number of young people we lose to violence is about the same as the number of people we lost in that movie theater. For every Columbine or Virginia Tech, there are dozens gunned down on the streets of Chicago or Atlanta..." ( http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/jul... What he didn't say, however, is that every day, and that's the conservative number published by the Journal of the American Medical Association.As no one seems to believe these numbers are real, I'll quote the source: The(JAMA) Vol 284, No 4, July 26th 2000, authored by Dr Barbara Starfield, MD, MPH, of the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health.That study, which is twelve years old -- and drug deaths have risen considerably since then -- documentsfrom the "adverse effects" of FDA-approved prescription medications.To reach this number from outbreaks of violent shootings, you'd have to seeof every day, 365 days a year.If a massacre of people using slugs of lead is bad, why is a massacre of people using deadly chemicals perfectly acceptable?No one in Washington talks about prescription drug deaths. There are no sobbing victims shown on the evening news. This "chemical massacre" happens quietly, behind closed doors. Yet to achieve this level of mass death in the world of plane crashes, for example, you'd have to see, every day of the year.But that's only the beginning of the mass death caused by modern medicine, where greed-driven doctors are routinely bribed by the drug giants ( https://www.naturalnews.com/036510_doctors_br... ) and thereby make the "Joker" James Holmes look like a boy scout by comparison. As NaturalNews previously revealed, just one company -- GlaxoSmithKline -- had a bribery network ofwho received financial kickbacks to prescribe more Glaxo pharmaceuticals to patients.According to the report, by Drs. Gary Null, Carolyn Dean, Martin Feldman, Debora Rasio and Dorothy Smith,. ( http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2004/mar2004_... Those deaths include:• 106,000 Americans killed from drug side effects• 115,000 Americans killed from bedsores• 98,000 Americans killed from medical error• 88,000 Americans killed from infections• 32,000 Americans killed from surgery• 37,000 Americans killed from unnecessary procedures... and so on. See the source link, above, for the rest of the numbers.The bottom line total comes to 783,936 deaths every year from "conventional" medicine (drugs and surgery medicine).According to the CDC's numbers from 2007, the total number of homicide shooting deaths in the United States each year is roughly 12,600 (Xu, Jiaquan; Kenneth D. Kochanek, Sherry L. Murphy, Betzaida Tejada-Vera (2010-05-20). "Deaths: Final Data for 2007" (PDF). National Vital Statistics Reports (CDC) 58(19): 11.)This means that your risk of being killed by your doctor isthan the risk of being killed by a shooter. Put another way, that's a 6200% higher risk.It seems that before we even think about the issue of, we need a national debate onAfter all, when doctors inadvertently kill people by prescribing deadly chemotherapy cocktails or deadly prescription drugs,But they do get financial kickbacks, exotic vacations paid by drug companies, free travel, free meals and other perks of being a Big Pharma sellout. Plus, they're free to go on killing other people, over and over again. While doctors obviously don'tto kill people, they nonetheless keep doing so as long as they get their bribes, kickbacks and perks. ( https://www.naturalnews.com/036417_Glaxo_Merc... If Obama really wanted to protect Americans from being killed, he'd call for restrictions on the prescribing of deadly pharmaceuticals. But don't hold your breath on that one, because when it comes to actually protecting the American people from medical massacres, or GMOs, or toxic fluoride in the water supply, the real Joker is Obama himself.
