I don't have any idea about who those people are or what they're selling.

But the CDC, which I trust, minus the political puppet in the communications office, now on medical leave after saying the bad part out loud, says this about the top ten causes of death in 2016:

Quote:
In 2016, the 10 leading causes of death (heart disease, cancer, unintentional injuries, chronic lower respiratory diseases, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, influenza and pneumonia, kidney disease, and suicide) remained the same as in 2015, although two causes exchanged ranks. Unintentional injuries, the fourth leading cause in 2015, became the third leading cause in 2016, while chronic lower respiratory diseases, the third leading cause in 2015, became the fourth leading cause in 2016 (Figure 4) (1). The 10 leading causes accounted for 74.1% of all deaths in the United States in 2016.
Ambiguous "medical errors" is not present on the list.

You're gonna need to present better evidence to persuade me.
