Neil deGrasse Tyson hits Twitter with an awful hot take in the wake of back-to-back mass shootings.
wants you to know as sad as it is that we lost upwards of 30 people to mass shootings this weekend ... it's nothing compared to other causes of death.
The astrophysicist tweeted out some bizarre information Sunday after the back-to-back mass shootings in Ohio and Texas -- which has claimed 29 lives thus far, and injured dozens more -- basically saying ... mass shootings are a blip on the death spectrum. He wrote,"In the past 48hrs, the USA horrifically lost 34 people to mass shootings. 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."In essence, it seems like Neil is downplaying the significance of mass shootings ... suggesting that while it's horrible they happen, they're not nearly as much an epidemic as some of these other categories.
That might be changing in today's America, but for now ... Neil seems to think folks are overreacting.
