The weaponization of medical language emboldened white supremacy with the authority of the white coat. How will we stop it from happening again?

This is story from last summer. But, Scientific American re-published it yesterday to coincide with the start of the trial. It's one of the most supremely insane articles I can ever remember reading in a mainstream scientific journal. They've 'tweeted' out the most insane part...which is also insane...

"By inaccurately portraying the medical findings from the autopsy of George Floyd, the legal system and media emboldened white supremacy, all under the cloak of authoritative scientific rhetoric."

Wow. Long, long ago, Scientific American was actually a serious scientific magazine.

Nice word salad.

Does it actually say anything?

These folks at SA are batsh*t crazy liars. They are the actual people doing the gaslighting.

Floyd was an ex-con lowlife thug addicted to myriad drugs and alcohol. On the day of his demise he was hopped up on 4 times the fatal dose of fentanyl among other illicit drugs found in his bloodstream. Out and about passing counterfeit $20 bills, George Floyd was a punk who met a punk's end. No surprise at all. Anyone could have predicted it.

Long ago, kids used to shout out “Not it!” quickly and somewhat simultaneously. Whoever got the phrase out first was, in fact, “not it” and the other kid would be stuck with whatever non-desireable situation was under discussion at the moment.

Today, everyone shouts out “White supremacist!” and whoever says it first is automatically declared the winner in all discussions, courtroom dramas, media campaigns, political campaigns or whatever else ya got.

The murder trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer charged in the death of George Floyd, began with the defense arguing that Floyd died of underlying medical conditions and drug use. This contradicts two autopsy reports—one by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office and the other by private doctors commissioned by Floyd's family—that ruled the cause of death was homicide.

Homicide isn't a cause of death.......it's a manner of death.

The cause of death is the specific injury or disease that leads to death.

The manner of death is the determination of how the injury or disease leads to death. There are five manners of death (natural, accident, suicide, homicide, and undetermined).

What is the Difference Between Cause of Death and Manner of Death?

Well, it does show exactly what gaslighting is.

"Widespread anti black violence"

Really? Where?

If any of you have any of the doctors who wrote this, change physicians fast.

I remember those times. As a kid I would hang around the drug store’s magazine rack reading it cover to cover whenever a new edition came out. I loved science and would have bought the magazine if we hadn’t been too poor.

Now? It’s largely a leftist propaganda rag.

Was George Floyd conscious when Chauvin removed his knee?

I honestly don’t know. I’m not sure if that has been discussed, publicly...yet.

This ought to be in neon lighting, not supposedly “gas lighting.” More of the information-disadvantaged civilian sector ought not to continue ignoring the factual Certified Autopsy Report by the Medical Examiner.

Not only Scientific American, but over the years the AAAS's Science, the ACS's C&E News, and even Sigma Xi's American Scientist have tilted to the left.

Listened to Hannity for about thirty seconds today and heard him say that the nine and half minute video settled the deal for him. Hannity certainly knows how to think right and play ball with the woke.

The picture that I saw did not show Chauvin constricting his air passage. In fact, the proponents of a “murder” charge insist that George was calling out that he could not breath. Talking is not something someone does when they are being choked or asphyxiated.

However, the knee on the neck did look like it had the potential of cutting off blood supply to the head. That could certainly result in lack of consciousness and even death, but it is not asphyxiation.
