Neil deGrasse Tyson is seeing the error of his ways.
Twitter users slammed the celebrity astrophysicist Sunday after he posted a tweet about the recent shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, that many thought missed the mark.
“In the past 48hrs, the USA horrifically lost 34 people to mass shootings,” Tyson wrote, claiming, “on average, across any 48hrs, we also lose… 500 to Medical errors 300 to the Flu 250 to Suicide 200 to Car Accidents 40 to Homicide via Handgun.”
“Often our emotions respond more to spectacle than to data,” he added.
He posted a note to Facebook Monday, acknowledging his mistake.
“My intent was to offer objectively true information that might help shape conversations and reactions to preventable ways we die,” his note read. “Where I miscalculated was that I genuinely believed the Tweet would be helpful to anyone trying to save lives in America. What I learned from the range of reactions is that for many people, some information –-my Tweet in particular — can be true but unhelpful, especially at a time when many people are either still in shock, or trying to heal – or both.
“So if you are one of those people, I apologize for not knowing in advance what effect my Tweet could have on you,” he continued. “I am therefore thankful for the candor and depth of critical reactions shared in my Twitter feed. As an educator, I personally value knowing with precision and accuracy what reaction anything that I say (or write) will instill in my audience, and I got this one wrong.”
Viral predation has been linked from the degradation of messenger RNA in the deep sea to 4 out of 5 relatively ignored examples of pathology that Neil deGrasse Tyson mentioned.
On average, across any 48hrs, we also lose…
500 to Medical errors
300 to the Flu
250 to Suicide
40 to Homicide via Handgun
They politely called him a Big Ass (a bass)
Can the so-called bass regain his credibility by correctly representing the facts about deaths due to medical errors and the virus-driven degradation of messenger RNA that causes all pathology in the context of these losses across two days for comparison to the losses from mass killings and the suicide of Robert F. Kennedy’s granddaughter?
I reiterate:
On average, across any 48hrs, we also lose…
300 to the Flu
250 to Suicide
40 to Homicide via Handgun
Now, Tyson has placed the shootings into the context of the fact that one food energy-dependent pheromone-controlled base pair change links fixation of one amino acid substitution to prevention of suicide and mass murders via: Relations between catechol-O-methyltransferase Val158Met genotype and inhibitory control development in childhood 8/1/19
The facts about errors in logic that caused deaths via the practice of medicine have been linked to what could have been prevention of mass killings and suicides via food energy-dependent pheromone-controlled changes in COMT Val158Met during the transition from adolescence to adulthood since 2014.

Is criticizing the medical profession’s overall failure to test for COMT Val158Met variants tasteless?

The discussion of Intelligent Design compared to path dependence is a classic example of foolishness akin to the foolishness of Neil deGrasse Tyson and all others like him. Only biolologically uninformed science idiots refuse to start with the Creation of energy and link it from biophysically constrained viral latency to all biodiversity on Earth via the physiology of reproduction.
