What about just banning dihydrogen monoxide? That stuff kills 100% of those who consume it and is, like, everywhere!
It doesnt kill 100% of people who consume it, 100% of people who consume it die
Learn the difference for future reference
It still kills more than 320,000 people every year, and that's just from ingesting it.
What were you hoping to achieve? 320,000 is not 8,200,000,000 which would be 100%
320000 is 0.0039024390243902% of 8200000000.
Drowning. Over 300 thousand people drown every year according to my 20 seconds of research. Those are killed by DHMO directly.
What are you trying to achieve. What is your goal here. What is it you are attempting to accomplish?
I literally did the math for you. Three hundred twenty thousand people is less than zero point zero zero four percent of eight billion two hundred million people also known as one hundred percent of people who drank dihydrogen monoxide
I never claimed water cant kill people, i pointed out a flawed claim and then gave the correct information they should have used
