Dr. Harriet Hall, Staunch Critic of Anti-vaxxers and Alternative Medicine, Dies in Her Sleep

Source: Science Based Medicine

Dr. Harriet “The SkepDoc” Hall, an author of a science medicine blog slamming the anti-vaxxers and critic of alternative medicine, died suddenly in her sleep last week.

Dr. Hall is a retiredAir Force physician and flight surgeon who writes about pseudoscience and questionable medical practices.

“This is Kirk Hall, Harriet’s husband. I know Harriet’s work was followed and admired by many of you. It is with great sadness that I must tell you my beloved wife passed away quietly and unexpectedly in her sleep last night,” Harriet’s husband wrote on Facebook.

“At this moment, she would probably simply ask you to have a kind thought for her, be kind to each other and continue to support her belief in the truth,” the post added.

Dr. Harriet Hall was a proponent of the vaccination mandate and against all-natural remedies.

“Are you contemplating getting a second booster for COVID-19? Check out my SkepDoc’s Corner at Skept Inquirer to find out why I say your decision should be a resounding YES!” she wrote in a post.

After her passing, many speculated that the Covid vaccination played a role in her sudden death.

Back in 2021, Dr. Hall announced that she received her third dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine.

“My husband and I (both well over 65) just got our third dose of COVID vaccine. The Pfizer vaccine is free at Safeway for everyone. Very convenient and only a short wait. No appointment needed.”

“The antivaxxers are a loathsome, despicable group who seem to be able to plumb the deepest levels of depravity to push their agenda. Harriet had been in delicate health for many years before the Covid-19 pandemic. Several years ago I took over all household chores after she experienced blackouts and fell in San Francisco and at SeaTac within a week. Recently Harriet’s doctor at Madigan Army Medical Center was having her worked up for possible congestive heart failure. A very recent echocardiogram (we have not received the full results) showed she had leakage in two of her heart valves. She also had a transient heart arrythmia which was of many years’ duration. Neither one of us have had Covid-19 and Harriet’s exposure to life outside the home had for the last several years, been limited to visits to her doctor and dentist.”

Atheists for Liberty is deeply saddened to hear about the death of “SkepDoc” Dr. Harriet Hall. Dr. Hall was an advocate of science, truth, and skepticism. The world of science, atheism, and skepticism has lost a tremendous inquiring mind.

[i]So long Harriet. Hey, you knew what comorbidity means, right?

So, I didn't get the vaccine so by her definition I am loathsome and despicable. I am seven yeas older the she was and a Christian looking forward to an eternity of bliss - not just rotting in the ground.

I win. [/i]

These are the people that society had confidence in to manage what we do for our health. We trusted their education, experience, character, and judgement. What have we learned about them over the last two years? The Hippocratic oath is a joke. Science means shut up. Healthcare is a privilege reserved for the insiders. And doctors are evil, stupid, corrupt, and insane, just like everyone else on TV. I have never been so clear on how history such as slavery and the Holocaust happened. I watched it happen all around me like a bomb went off. Everyone just seemed to lose their collective minds. It was truly a breathtaking experience, every minute. Congratulations. I really didn’t think that was possible.
All can say as I watch everyone swear off their hangover is, “Bro, don’t eat the bugs. It causes cancer.”

@DisenfranchisedNativeAmerican so you don't think people should listen to science and ignore healthcare?

BizSuitStacy · M

@DisenfranchisedNativeAmerican Very good summary.

BizSuitStacy · M

@Guitarman123 Listen to what science? We live in a world where opposing scientific opinion is censored. It stopped being science the moment the big tech suppressed information about the origins of SARS-CoV-2.

Guitarman123 · 31-35, M

@BizSuitStacy yet I hear people criticising science and thinking they know better on a regular basis so that simply isn't true

BizSuitStacy · M

@Guitarman123 You're speaking in circles. There are thousands of physicians, virologists, immunologist, microbiologists, etc. who are experts, are more than qualified, and are challenging the status quo. They get censored on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc. Mainstream media refuses to give them air time. Then people like you bury your head in the sand and say, "but muh science."

DisenfranchisedNativeAmerican · 51-55, M

@Guitarman123 I waited 2 years for a doctor to stand up and say what any laymen could read in the pubs, the authorities had spent 2 decades trying to make a vaccine against SARS. Covid was SARS. Nobody rushes a brand new technology into every single person on Earth to find out if it works. Who believes they never tested for efficacy? Kids were never endangered by the virus, only the Vax. They ignored natural immunity. Punished anyone who spoke out. They removed every vaccine alternative as they encountered them while using themselves. Queen got her ivermectin while doctors were being banished for scribs. It was totally insane. Pure evil. So audacious that it defies the majority even believing it happened. Mothers will tell their kids that the world is good, but it isn’t.

Guitarman123 · 31-35, M

@BizSuitStacy theirs also thousands saying otherwise and nobody is getting censored as most if not all those you've just mentioned are owned by capitalists, musk for example would agree with you about being anti science

Guitarman123 · 31-35, M

@DisenfranchisedNativeAmerican actually vaccines have been rushed many times over the decades when they were badly needed and the current vaccine has enabled us to exit lockdowns so I don't know about you but I detested being in lockdowns

DisenfranchisedNativeAmerican · 51-55, M

@Guitarman123 They didn’t tell the first batch of customers, which included my children, this was mRNA technology. They could drop dead tomorrow. Nothing anyone can do now, except rely on God.

Guitarman123 · 31-35, M

@DisenfranchisedNativeAmerican so your more scared of a vaccine than a virus?

DisenfranchisedNativeAmerican · 51-55, M

@Guitarman123 You mean the clot shot? That’s not a vaccine. That’s an experiment. Never even tested in animals.

Guitarman123 · 31-35, M

@DisenfranchisedNativeAmerican all vaccines and medicines are experiments. Covid killed millions of people

BizSuitStacy · M

@Guitarman123 Everyone knows the censorship has been going on for a long time. Republicans were routinely banned from Twitter, and we've seen the Twitter data of the FBI and gov't collaborating with Twitter employees to silence opposing voices. Typical communist tactic...has nothing to do with the fact the company is privately owned. Do you know anything about science? My undergrad degree is in Biology from UC Davis.

DisenfranchisedNativeAmerican · 51-55, M

I wonder why the world life expectancy suddenly hit a speed bump… could it be someone trimming the fat off the excess population?

Guitarman123 · 31-35, M

@DisenfranchisedNativeAmerican you sure? Cubas has improved to the extent its about the same as americas

Guitarman123 · 31-35, M

@DisenfranchisedNativeAmerican and americas has kept increasing https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2022/09/15/4-reasons-life-expectancy-has-increased-in-the-past-200-years/amp/

DisenfranchisedNativeAmerican · 51-55, M

@Guitarman123 wink wink, nod nod, chuckle as I watch my bank account appreciate.

Guitarman123 · 31-35, M

@DisenfranchisedNativeAmerican that just random words put together

BizSuitStacy · M

@Guitarman123 vaccines are typically tested between 5-12 years before being released in a mass vaccination program. Testing for the jab was 8 months.

So...what happened here? The use of mRNA and viral vector DNA technology had never been used on the public. It was released after phase 3 clinical trials. There was no phase 4 trial which assesses long term side effects. We are in phase 4 now. The vaccine was released under an EUA. The gov't granted big pharma a liability shield. All of these are red flags. And science would tell you that with new technology and limited testing, you're exposing the public to significant risk. Hence the EUA and liability shield. Now we are seeing mass injury and death from the jab. The recent covid variants are no worse than the flu.

Guitarman123 · 31-35, M

@BizSuitStacy so you would have preffered to have stayed in lockdowns? Things develop and evolve which means being able to produce vaccines at a faster rate

Guitarman123 · 31-35, M

@BizSuitStacy yes recent variants are weaker as a result of the vaccine

DisenfranchisedNativeAmerican · 51-55, M

@Guitarman123 it’s not your fault that you’re ignorant of the “excess deaths” issue. I blame the media.

Guitarman123 · 31-35, M

@DisenfranchisedNativeAmerican scientists have studied corona viruses for 50 years. The media makes it pretty clear the state of the NHS as a result of the Conservative government

Guitarman123 · 31-35, M

@DisenfranchisedNativeAmerican the media is also talking about vulnerable people dying from being cold in their homes and not being able to afford to pay for heat

DisenfranchisedNativeAmerican · 51-55, M

@Guitarman123 Covid treatment killed millions, and gain of function research killed the rest. I packaged things like censorship, cancelling alternative treatments, untested treatments such as remdesivir were the only option available to the public. Remdesivir killed many people. That’s going to be a whole new scandal. Ventilators killed thousands more. Denying antibiotics to ventilator patients killed thousands more. You name it. The medical profession went medieval on our weakest people. Pure evil. Coordinated evil.
