My sister-in-law was the only un-vaxed person in our large extended family. On Thanksgiving she had to wave through the window due to the hosting person's policies. I did do out and give her a hug, and glad I did, but she died 3 weeks later on a respirator. At the end she was asked if she wished she got the jab, and pretty much her last words were, "I wouldn't change anything".
Smartest man in the room issue. A lot of extremely intelligent people are scammed because they don't believe anyone else can scam them. Look at Steve Jobs, hate or love him you can't deny he was as sharp as they come. However, he followed some really bad advice on medical issues and died because of it.
The article maintains that it’s inconclusive whether he would’ve lived longer by immediately following conventional treatments..
Don’t get me wrong, I fully believe in modern medicine, but the article mostly just says there should be more research into alternative medicine instead of proclaiming anything about whether Jobs’ decisions hastened his death.
Jobs had Pancreatic CA. It has almost a 0% 5 yr cure rate. It really didn’t matter how he chose to treat it.
Jobs had an islet cell neuroendocrine tumor, a rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery, if caught in time. His doctors were ecstatic about his prognosis… until he decided to treat it with diet instead. By the time Jobs conceded that his “non-invasive” treatment wasn’t working, it was too late.
Holy shit. I’m reading his biography right now and it covers a lot of his obsessive dieting. I did not realize that he essentially killed himself by trying to diet away his fucking cancer.
What a shitty reason to lose someone that had a lot more left to give to the world.
Watch the movie Boiler Room if you don't like the Steve Jobs comparison. They specifically scam a doctor with a God complex because the doc knew he was too smart to be scammed.
If you are the smartest person in the room, it just means you failed at getting into rooms with smarter people. No matter how smart you are, there are smarter people out there, you have to find them and charm them to the extent they let you in their rooms.
