Dr Jordan Peterson - "Medicine kills more people than it saves"...... and this is man that many people consider a leading intellectual?

He's we'll spoken and delivers his material with extreme confidence but crap like this reveals that he is truly ignorant and quite happy to use his un-earned status to peddle something he pulled right out of his ass.

"Now that's just a guess and it could easily be wrong....but it also could NOT be wrong!"
LMAO just brilliant, Jordan. So insightful.
And then he goes on to say that medical error is the 3rd leading cause of death.

The problem is that as Medicine is currently practiced in some places in America he has a point. Medical Administration and Big Pharma have taken the place of the patient as the highest priority in corporate Medicine.
@whowasthatmaskedman

No he has no point whatsoever.
I understand and agree with your point about the messed up nature of having a capitalist medical system but as far as the idea that medicine costs more lives than it saves he's just talking out his ass.

@Pikachu Agreed. But he can point to those bad practices to support his claims.
@whowasthatmaskedman

Yeah i guess he would have to. But it just doesn't bear even a cursory thought investigation.

@Pikachu And Americans need even a cursory thought to form an opinion since.............?
