“A popular message circulating the internet claims that ‘guns don’t kill people, doctors do,’ based on statistics that theoretically show that doctors are responsible for more accidental deaths every year than firearms. Independent research by NewsTarget staff shows that this claim is absolutely … false. … NewsTarget’s stance is that conventional medicine is dangerous, and has killed more Americans than the Vietnam War (which is supported by information obtained by Death by Medicine), but staff members were unable to find DHHS figures that either supported or debunked the urban legend’s claims. Such figures may not even be obtainable, at least not in any reliable form.” (11/30/06)
