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]

1. With respect, she didn't call antivaxxers despicable and loathsome. You are quoting someone else there.
2. Proverbs 24:17. Matthew 5:44 "But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." If you're a Christian, have you read these things? Do you think they don't apply to you?

@Abstraction Who else can we rely on to tell us the truth? Healthcare professionals let us down. They allowed alternative treatments to be withdrawn. They allowed infected patients to be placed in nursing homes. The only thing you can be certain is that they will do whatever they are told.

And yes, I don’t hate these people. But what needs to happen is that they recognize the agenda, otherwise their children will all fall into sin and degrade their bodies.

@DisenfranchisedNativeAmerican You're confusing what some 'healthcare professionals' did as if this means that [u]all[/u] healthcare professionals have let us down. Mine didn't. Two just saved my eyesight last month. They were healthcare professionals. One of my children is a healthcare professional. He doesn't 'do whatever he is told.'
'The only thing you can be certain is that they will do whatever they are told.' <= this is fairyland. So... all the healthcare professionals are like unquestioning drone robots without a mind or conscience or values? Like stupid dumb stormtroopers? There is a giant conspiracy and they are ALL going along with it except the few you happen to believe on social media? I'm sorry, this doesn't have any ring of truth to it. On analysis (which I've done) it has no basis of truth either.

Oh these jackasses in the name of God try to hide behind religion as an excuse for their hatred of everything.

@Abstraction

Sorry, Charlie.
They blew it. Not just a little. They completely failed and now 70% of Americans are potentially dead people walking. Denial is the first response.

@CestManan

Some people don’t “hide behind God”. They rub their Satanism in your face and call it righteousness.

@DisenfranchisedNativeAmerican Yeah I have heard that some people's version of Christianity is basically evil.

DisenfranchisedNativeAmerican · 51-55, M

@CestManan of course.

Funny, you mention that, because I’m wondering why all the religions were started by devil worshipping Freemasons. Pharisees didn’t just evaporate. They are still here today.

@CestManan I hate the world because it’s evil. You’re supposed to come out of it, but just like the matrix, folks will defend the system and return to slavery/ Egypt.
