Everyone loves to talk about statistical likelihood of a medicine or vaccination being potentially fatal with the assumption it won’t be them. Or someone they love. My husband was killed by a cardio toxic chemotherapy drug with a similar ‘risk’ profile. He was young (44), fit 1/
And had weight trained and exercised for his adult life. His death was a shock to the treating oncologist. If it is you, or someone you love, your whole world falls apart. Iatrogenic deaths are so hard to process. The intervention to help you is what kills you. The dialogue 2/
