It's interesting how there's a hint of science here, but so much non-science.

Like, trying to categorize things is a bit scientific. Trying to distinguish between similar but different things is a bit scientific. At the same time, so many of these causes of death are symptoms not causes. And, there are too many cases where they didn't bother to try to find a cause, like the "Planet" cases or "Suddenly". Also, almost all of the deaths are in children / infants, but in those cases they don't try to figure out the cause of death, they just note the age.

Consumption I think is not in the sense of eating, but in the sense of the body eating itself ie wasting away.

Lots of great ideas here!

This will make a useful crib sheet for reading the causes of death in the US next year under Health Tsar RFK Jnr .

Not sure what that's supposed to mean. Maybe some Final Destination shit where they die due to a series of random chance events?

What else am I missing?

Mostly, they died from a lack of medical knowledge.

8 deaths from plague? Fake news, China plague.

Leeches cured my gout. If only they knew.
