I think hospitals are a serious health issue since around 100,000 people die there from doctors’ mistakes.
How Many Die From Medical Mistakes in U.S. Hospitals?

“In 1999, the Institute of Medicine published the famous “To Err Is Human” report, which dropped a bombshell on the medical community by reporting that up to 98,000 people a year die because of mistakes in hospitals. The number was initially disputed, but is now widely accepted by doctors and hospital officials — and quoted ubiquitously in the media.”
And this isn’t including those who die by euthanasia or abortion!
Surgeon General Vivek ... the backlash from his gun-control statement was disappointing but not a surprise...
Really?
I thought the whole Surgeon General boondoggle was axed back in the 90s. Are we still wasting taxpayer money on it?
Why does the country have a “surgeon general” in the first place? Idiotic concept.
Unanswerable question of the day:
Name ONE competent Dorkbama the Muslim appointed official.
Preventable? Go see if you can prevent it in Baltimore.
Swimming pool safety? Swimming pools kill more pre-teens/year than guns.
This feller is either a liar or is stupid.
Total deaths - 2,423,712
Assault by discharge of firearm - 12,632
Cardiovascular disease - 806,156
Malignant neoplasms (Cancer) - 562,875
Appears the Surgeon Gen is dishonest if he thinks .5% of deaths (by firearms) constitute a public health issue

If that genius Joyceln Elders couldn’t fix the gun violence problem, then nobody can. The only logical conclusion is to ban all guns. /S
The clown is an extreme leftwing politican. The jerk has to say dumb chit like this in order to keep his masters in the party happy.
Liberals have agendas, not regrets.
Being wrong and having no facts is never an issue.
because it causes cancer, measles, polio, spreads HIV??? This man is in stage 5 of terminal stupidity and liberals will be nodding heads upon hearing his little gems of moronic wisdom. Not unlike the screaming lawyer commercials where the statement, "if you or your loved ones have become ill or died from taking the prescription drug..." If you died and you're listening to this drivel, you are not in heaven.
Guns are not violent.
People, especially ferals, are violent.
Guns aren’t anything at all.
I’m SUCH a veddy veddy, veddy gooood liberal—I am I am!
See?
GUNS = Eeevil!
THERE NOW!!
