This is true of literally every cause of death. It's a meaningless tautology.
- _-___________-_ 7y agoIt is true of every cause of death, but I don't think it's meaningless. Some people's lives are being shortened, and in response we're making a much, much larger number of people's lives significantly worse.
- ncallaway 7y agoAll tautologies are informationally meaningless. Your statement is equivalent to the statement: "all humans are mortal". I guess there is _some_ information there, but really not a lot.
