Damar Hamlin issues apology for wearing offensive jacket that offended Christians

[Raw Lyrics]

uhh…germ theory (the reason for improved hygiene outside cultural norms and personal preference) is the pillar behind modern medicine and health. It’s the same thing.

Ok, while it may fall under health, washing your ass and hands, and flushing your shyt down the toilet in and of itself is technically not medicine/medication.

My grandfather lived to 86 in Puerto Rico and never went to a doctor nor took medication. He simply ate right and practiced proper hygiene.

And I'm not Muslim, but personal hygiene practices dates back to early Islamic times (Quran).

 

[Bless't]

He a better man than me...

This.

Again... fukk social media and the platform it enables remedial people and their unasked for opinions.

 

[br82186]

I wouldn't apologize, some of those same Christians were calling him a clone or that his heart stopped from the vaccine, I would of told them to fcck off

 

[IrateMastermind]

This is one of the tweets that was in the slide. So fukk the medical staff that revived him. God did.

Bruh, wtf is this?

I’m not religious and I know better than to do this. I’ll give him a pass cuz maybe he’s got some lingering effects he’s dealing with but there has to be someone in his camp that should’ve told him to put on another jacket for the Super Bowl. Unbelievable.

Edited for clarity

 

[Sleepy Floyd]

The way everyone hates the god of the Bible just proves that He's the real God

If dude had showed up with a jacket depicting the Prophet Muhammad, the backlash would be INSANE. They recently fired a black professor for it.

Say anything about Jews and you get branded as antisemitic and get blackballed.

It's okay for Muslims and Jews to be offended but not Christians? Funny how that works.

So where was "God" before the injury happened, in fact if that injury had happened anywhere outside of the football field where trained medical professionals were seconds away, he would've died

But now it's "God" saved you

 

[DaKidFromNoWhere]

You would’ve done the same

No fukk I wouldn't Charles Xavier

medicine is science. Science is medicine. There is no dividing line. We found that that putting lead in everything was killing and making people insane so we stopped and saw a notable change. its such a bizarre thing to say “technically that information is not and should not be credited to medicine”

you literally just repeated back to me what I just said In the post you quoted about personal preferences, cultural, and religious behaviors (long before early Islam) led people to doing what is scientifically/medically the right thing. do you want to reread my post?

and your actually wrong about just basic medical practices improving bumping up life expectancy . do you know how many women dying in childbirth, and children dying in infancy has screwed life expectancy numbers since recorded?

 

[Dog Based Gremlin]

Revived the breh just to make him bow down

 

[Uitomy]

nikkas just complain to complain these days

Also, God or peoples prayers didn’t save Demars life ..so why are they comparing it

He believes in God supposedly, so, it’s fair for them to complain. I find most the responses on here ironic cause the guy himself is apparently of the faith so he has to deal with the backlash.

 

[pickles]

That jacket ugly as fukk.

I know he forked over a pretty penny for that bullshyt too.

The fact that is some Kanye West creation is automatic suspect.

He is going to lose all his good will. Watch.

When I said medicine, I was referring to medications being taken to improve lifespan. Drugs have been less responsible in improving lifespans than plumbing and hygiene (which, yes, falls under health). The word medicine has more than one use.


This was peer-reviewed open access journal where the research was conducted by scientists:

Background: Historical analysis of health data suggests the majority of the life expectancy increase that occurred during recent centuries was caused by improvements in public health and social determinants of health. The purpose of this study was to assess lay public perceptions regarding why life expectancy has increased. Methods: A nationally representative sample of 705 adults were surveyed to determine which factors people credit for the 40 plus year increase in life expectancy that occurred since the mid-1800s. Survey items included open-ended questions, rank ordering of possible explanations, and numeric estimates of attribution. Results: Participants in the study rarely attributed increased life expectancy to public health measures or improvements in social health determinants. In contrast, subjects believed that medical care, by far, played the predominant role and attributed medical care for causing 80% of the life expectancy increase. Conclusion: The public grossly overestimates how much of our increased life expectancy should be attributed to medical care and is largely unaware of the critical role played by public health and improved social conditions determinants. These misperceptions may hinder adequate public health funding and efforts to address important health-related social issues. Misattribution of credit may also contribute to overfunding the medical sector of the economy and impede efforts to contain health care costs.


The media may play a role in causing the misperceptions identified in this study. Television programs dramatize and glamorize the world of modern medicine and portray healthcare as having amazing powers to restore health [32]. Television dramas seldom communicate to viewers that environmental factors, poverty, housing, food insecurity, education or social welfare, are powerful predictors of health. In addition to the entertainment function of television, new drugs and medical procedures are also consistently given great attention in broadcast news. By contrast, public health interventions are successful when things do not happen. By definition, the news media does not report on things “not happening.” As a result, the public inflates the relative importance of modern medicine in relation to other health determinants.

Conclusion​

People are largely ignorant of the factors that have been responsible for increasing life expectancy. The misperceptions identified in this study have implications for national health policy. The society that fails to understand that improvements in nonmedical determinants of health were primarily responsible for past increases in life expectancy may be less likely to support contemporary interventions and policies which seek to address these important but less visible health determinants. Public health workers have the formidable and important challenge of helping the medically-mesmerized public understand that many factors, outside the walls of hospitals, have a profound influence on life expectancy. Health education’s role in public health needs to expand from the focus on individual decision-making. The most fundamental objective of health education is to help society [34] understand what factors contribute most to increased life expectancy and [35] that by addressing those factors, society has the greatest potential to improve the nation’s health.
