Bro, I dated a nurse who saw a girl die in the ER after an adjustment from a vertebral arterial dissection.

You pulled numbers out your ass and pretend they are authoritative. Here’s a fun number:

In this case report, we highlight a case of a 32-year-old woman who underwent chiropractic manipulation and had vertebral artery dissection with subsequent brainstem infarct. She quickly deteriorated and passed away shortly after arrival to the hospital. Although rare, one in 48 chiropractors have experienced such an event. We utilize this case to highlight the risk associated with cervical manipulation and urge open dialogue between chiropractors and physicians. Receiving medical clearance prior to cervical manipulation in potential at risk patients would drastically reduce morbidity and mortality.

Actual medicine does things. Chiropractic does nothing at best, and can kill you at worst.

Also the random bullshit about trump and queerness does zero to advance your argument, and really just embarrasses you. I am cringing as a leftist trans person myself.

and yet you still ignore the facts that Doctors kill and harm more people.

here’s my source for that 1 in 10 patients harmed by doctors:

www.who.int/news-room/…/patient-safety

and here’s another article about doctors fucking up:

hub.jhu.edu/…/medical-errors-third-leading-cause-…

and the source for the doctors who were serial killers: I admit I missed Dr Hazzard cause i was switching apps to write everything down. – side note… notice how Dr Hazzard was a Hazard for your health.

as far as regulation of chiropractors in the USA it’s interesting how you claim that Chiropractors aren’t doctors or regulated in any way:

www.nccih.nih.gov/health/chiropractic-in-depth

www.bridgeport.edu/…/are-chiropractors-doctors/

and see: # 42 CFR § 410.21 - Limitations on services of a chiropractor.

here’s a dumbed down version for the USA:

nbce.org/links-to-chiropractic-state-licensing-bo…

and here’s a link to myths about chiropractors:

meridianhealthcare.net/chiropractic-care-myths-vs…

here’s a link to a history of chiropractors and the failure to discredit chiropractors written by a professor. the banner sucks for mobile devices but the sources he links at the bottom are especially fun:

esmed.org/perceptions-of-chiropractic-profession-…

my personal favorite: www.acatoday.org/about/history-of-chiropractic/

please note the big kick in your personal ass:

Congress passed legislation in 1993 to include chiropractic in the U.S. Department of Defense healthcare system. Today Chiropractic services are available to active-duty personnel at more than 60 military bases in the United States, Germany and Japan.

Legislation to include chiropractic in the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare system was passed in 1999.

ACP updated its guideline for the treatment of acute and chronic low back pain in 2017 to recommend first using noninvasive, nondrug treatments—including spinal manipulation—before resorting to drug therapies. A host of other organizations have since endorsed ACP’s guideline or issued similar recommendations.

for a bunch of dangerous hacks and quacks as you claim… there is a whole lot of regulations and licensing involved. it’s almost as if I didn’t pull numbers out of my ass or cherry pick shit like you did.

On behalf of all real leftist transgender people. I sincerely apologize… I forgot that even leftist transgender people can fall prey to the same trap of discarding facts and cherry picking statistics/studies as you have proven.
