{{anchor:s694}}Now, I’m going to look at a second disease, if I have one minute: pneumonia. {{anchor:s695}}Osler reported that the mortality of pneumonia since around 1850s has been steady at 30%; even himself at John Hopkins had 30%. {{anchor:s696}}Homeopaths will obtain results with less than 2%, and usually more like 1%. {{anchor:s697}}It’s remarkable when we consider that 1 out of 25 Canadians dies of pneumonia now, when we could lower the mortality dramatically just by using those little pills that Joe is talking about, those good placebos. | {{anchor:s694}}Now, I’m going to look at a second disease, if I have one minute: pneumonia. {{anchor:s695}}Osler reported that the mortality of pneumonia since around 1850s has been steady at 30%; even himself at John Hopkins had 30%. {{anchor:s696}}Homeopaths will obtain results with less than 2%, and usually more like 1%. {{anchor:s697}}It’s remarkable when we consider that 1 out of 25 Canadians dies of pneumonia now, when we could lower the mortality dramatically just by using those little pills that Joe is talking about, those good placebos. | ||
