"We are saddened to announce that The SkepDoc Dr. Harriet Hall has passed away". I have run into people like this lady. They are rabid defenders of what they think is "science-based" medicine. They approach cult level. More often than not, they are blind to their own bullshit. They practice in hospitals using cookie cutter procedures, and medications approved on massaged statistics, but they think they are based on facts. And they ridicule you for taking a supplement. But, who knows, maybe they are some paid trolls. I'm not sure. I'm not glad she's dead, and I don't know if she was affected by any "safe and effective", "backed by science", "recommended by experts", or "scientifically tested" concoction. But if she was, it would be quite poetic.

Robbie Knievel was never expected to die of old age, but never expected to die physically intact either. Hmmmm... I wonder why...

Just 2 days ago, my 60 year old vaxxed friend told me how unusual it was that he knew 4 people to die of pancreatic cancer. No matter how I try, he won't wake up. I'll share Robbie Knievel w/him but that will "jump" right over him too.
