This is a joke. The circle “killed by a Black yoot” would engulf the whole page.

It’s not Black yoot – it’s Black youff.

100 people / week die of asthma (roughly). Obviously not as rare as, say, being eaten by a grizzly bear, but I find that interesting. Also, roughly 300 people per week are dying of overdoses these days – usually of opioids, but also of heroin (which they usually turn to only after having become addicted to opioids).

BS
heroin has flooded the country, invaded the middle schools,
and is a way of life for many blacks. Opiates for the masses.

Who said: People got to have hope or drugs. Taking away both leads to revolt?

You want bewildering causes of death? This is almost never talked about.

“It’s a chilling reality – one often overlooked in annual mortality statistics: Preventable medical errors persist as the No. 3 killer in the U.S. – third only to heart disease and cancer – claiming the lives of some 400,000 people each year.”

“This fully referenced report shows the number of people having in-hospital, adverse reactions to prescribed drugs to be 2.2 million per year. The number of unnecessary antibiotics prescribed annually for viral infections is 20 million per year. The number of unnecessary medical and surgical procedures performed annually is 7.5 million per year. The number of people exposed to unnecessary hospitalization annually is 8.9 million per year.

The most stunning statistic, however, is that the total number of deaths caused by conventional medicine is an astounding 783,936 per year. It is now evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the US. (By contrast, the number of deaths attributable to heart disease in 2001 was 699,697, while the number of deaths attributable to cancer was 553,251.5)”

That’s if you don’t add in a large percentage of the cancer deaths to medical error deaths as the cancer virus HV-40 INADVERTENTLY got into the polio vaccine back in the 50’s ?

Shot by police isn’t so bewildering, you get in or threaten a gunfight with police you get shot more often than the police get shot.

Why would that be bewildering?

Now death by selfie, that would be bewildering, at least to me.

The problem I see is that there is no over lap between the ‘shot by police’ and the ‘victims of serial killers’. Surely, those two have some non-zero intersection. I’d say they are double counting.

Ok, then how about a suicide and a shot by cops overlap.

They forgot “Death by laughter” from Killary’s mesianic insane warmongering racist pigheaded drug-addled-brain prattling nonsense election bullshit promises.
