But seriously water to EPA standard is estimated to kill more people per 100k than guns. Vinyl Chloride alone is getting there. But I guess miscarriages, birth defects, and terminal illness aren't a sexy story.
Fuchs asserts that increasing life expectancy in the black community “depends more on public health measures such as gun control than on medical care.”
Can we make it illegal to refer to anything as a public health issue if it doesn't involve a process occurring inside someone's body or a communicable disease? This stuff is a bunch of horse shit.

I can't read stupid stories like these, but I might scan through them. Isn't this a racist comment to start an talk with?
agreed. part of the problem is that most major public health issues have been solved, so the public health field needs to find new "crises" to justify their existence.
Illegal immigration itself is a public health crisis, based not just on the diseases brought in, but the violence endemic among illegal aliens.
The Public Health field went off the rails over 30 years ago when they refused to classify AIDS/HIV as a public health issue. They then further compounded the problem by making EVERY other thing in the world a public health crisis. Car seats, bike helmets, cigarettes, sugar, booze, obesity, salt, guns & seat belts. None of which are contagious, which used to be the classic definition of public health.
They've since failed to identify the re emergence of TB as a public health crisis. Along with the uninhibited influx of illegal immigrants coming in from parts of the world where vaccinations are unknown. Why do you think that all of a sudden there is a rise in childhood diseases that had become very rare in this country?

Neither were actual facts.
most of medical profession believes they know better than you. it's disgusting. there are some respectable people in the medical profession, but most of them are afraid to speak out in favor of freedoms for fear of peer backlash.

the fundamental problem with the "public health" risk assessments involving firearms is they always lump together death and injury statistics caused by prohibited persons and legally owned firearms. It would be like doing a risk assessment of opioids and adding together the over-doses of junkies that illegally obtained the drugs and medically supervised applications, which you could then conclude that their misuse should prevent their legitimate applications? That would be stupid--just like telling legal gun owners they need to give up their guns because prohibited persons cause "gun crime"
Despite all the noise made by the gun-haters about NRA-backed bans on CDC funding for Firearms Research, there is more Gun Control funding of academic Anti-gun reasearch today than the Government has ever or will fund. Cash from Bloomberg and Soros flows through the legitimizing "laundry" of Joyce Foundation and other "neutral" fronts into anti-gun academic pockets. These Centers for Violence Research couldn't survive on the usual academic funding for medical research, they need the Sugar Daddy money to keep their doors open.
All this talk about the CDC as if its sometimes an altruistic .gov agency. Does anyone really believe anything coming this agency?
