Medical journals highlight the fact that many physicians are not scientists. Authors who do poor work often mean well. This, however, is a topic of blatant bias.
The Journal has held a far left, anti-gun position for DECADES!!! This is certainly nothing new.
The New England Journal of Medicine is, indeed, “prestigious,” but it doesn’t deserve to be. It has been hip deep in left-wing politics for the past forty years, at least.
It led the way on euthanasia, assisted suicide, and the right to die. It led the way on abortion and useless fetal stem cell research.
It is deeply involved in pushing the culture of death into the medical community, which is the last place that it belongs.
Hippocrates would not have approved.
Simple. These “doctors” are vindictive, insane leftist morons (but I repeat myself). Take MA for example. No one can privately buy or sell a firearm here without a state license. To get the state license you are investigated to a degree that makes a CORI look like a joke. And even then, the local chief of police can tell you he “doesn’t like your looks” and deny you. In MA, you see, a denial is non-appealable. Convicted serial killer child molesters CAN appeal, but not honest citizens who want a gun. I stay in this s***hole of a state because I like my house and my town (far, far away from the Boston cesspit). The joke, of course, is that if you get an LTC in your small town of West Kneecap, you can carry concealed anywhere in the state, including Boston. It is BOSTON residents who are denied any LTC application. So, if someone attacks you in Boston, call out for someone from out of town to help!
Dr Jonathan Ira Groner of Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus is a real tool of the Brady idiots.
The following admissions were taken from JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) : The top five causes of death in the United States, in order, are:
1) Tobacco
2) Alcohol
3) Medical malpractice
4) Traffic accidents
5) Firearms
According to JAMA, doctors kill more people than auto accidents and guns put together. With that in mind, one has to wonder why gun control is such a hot legislative issue when, perhaps, we should be more concerned about doctor control.
And in a bad economy, when Liberal’s always will tell you that crime gets worse because people are poor and desperate.
Thugs will think twice when they know their life is on the line.
My hubby is one of those that generates a “false positive.”
Before he got a concealed carry license, if he bought a gun at a gun show on the weekend, when they went to do the background check, it would show that he had an FBI file. However, there was no way to check (on the weekend) and see what that FBI file was all about, so they had to wait until Monday to get the details and the final clearance.
BTW, he has an FBI file because when he was in the military, he had to undergo an investigation/background check to get a special security clearance. So in the background check, a file that documented him to be a fine, upstanding guy actually generated a record that showed they stopped a “bad guy” from getting a gun.
I have never subscribed to this journal or the Lancet. They mail them to me along with JAMA and they all three go directly into the trash can.
CONSUMER REPORTS has the same problem. The magazine had an article about home defense a couple years ago - and listed everything BUT guns as a method of self defense: “home alarm systems, private security, guard dogs.”
I wrote a letter to the Editors at CR, asking why they omitted hand guns. I ended it with, “I assume that a CR issue will rate “the best” hand guns in a future issue. Is that in the plans?”
They never responded, and did not publish my letter.
Gee. What a surprise.
The NEJM would recommend that all houses have smoke detectors and fire extinguishers, but no guns.
Yet the chances of a violent crime is FAR higher than a house fire.
Logical dissonance.
Heck, if was my doctor, I would immediately switch, as I would question his very diagnosis, as that too is based on sound judgement, something he totally lacks.
He is nothing more than a tool with COD, that being to bad rap firearms every chance he gets.
Dr. Roch? Dr. Michel Roch?
