Village Idiots

“As an atheist, I have no interest in defending the Catholic church. I want to defend science, rationalism, and approach history in a measured way.” - Brendan O’Neill (Irish Times 9 Mar 2017)  

The false notion of starvation is solely based on the appearance of the word “marasmus” on 14 or 2% of the 796 death certificates from the Tuam institution. 14 starved to death is 14 too many but the children were not starved to death. Marasmus is not a euphemism for starvation but the village idiots have made out that it is.

Marasmus is classified as a nutritional disorder. A lack of food or starvation is but one of its causes, infection causing malabsorption of nutrients is frequently co-morbid.

Let's have a look at some real world data to illustrate the depth of ineptitude necessary  in the examination of health statistics in order to draw such mad conclusions.

A survey of death certificates for deaths occurring in NHS hospitals in England and Wales, combining the years 2010 and 2011, reveal that malnutrition was the sole cause of 91 deaths and a contributory factor in 592 deaths.

If Irish “historians” were to get their hands on these statistics there is little doubt that headlines would begin appearing in the gutter press screaming that the Catholic Church and nuns working in the NHS killed these people. The leprechauns have not yet left the building. -  E. Histor.
