@literalbanana well, there's the whole can of worms gathering and reporting these kinds of numbers is always going to open -
@literalbanana I mean, for one it's safe to assume *most* deaths are heavily overdetermined, so any figure will be adjusted for that - 4 more replies

@literalbanana nb quantifying death-by-woo has a selection bias in that almost nobody tries to treat a sucking chest wound with crystals -
@schakalsynthetc I would just like acknowledgment that there's a trade-off and magic crystals aren't totally bad & evil - 5 more replies
