Whose to blame for 60,000 people dying in Vietnam?
Whose to blame for Lobotomies winning the Nobel Prize?
Whose to blame for Thalidomide being widely distributed?
Almost anything can be passed off as legitimate without accountability with a concerted effort by 'authorities' and the 'news media', it's even worse in the modern short attention span news cycle.
- shadowgovt 5y agoWho's to blame for 600,000 dead in the United States?
- nickthemagicman 5y agoThe average death is 80 years old with two comorbidies so....the natural cycle of life?
- shadowgovt 5y agoThere's nothing natural about dying from COVID-19, except in the broadest of definitions of "natural" (i.e. the definition that we developed technology to minimize, control, and avoid).
- nickthemagicman 5y agoI don't know how you define Natural.
- shadowgovt 5y agoIt's a good question and definitions vary. My working, broadest definition is "That which exists / that which occurs if humans do not use their intellect and ability to cause something else to exist / happen." Starvation is natural. Death by predator is natural. Death due to exposure is natural. Death due to disease is natural. Tornadoes are natural. A biosphere-disrupting asteroid impact is natural. There are other things that are natural that are positives too, but it's good, I think, to keep in mind that "natural" doesn't always imply "good."
