I confess we have not heard of this person, yet we are inclined to mention this person. Dr. Harriet “The SkepDoc” Hall, an author of a science medicine blog slamming the anti-vaxxers and critic of alternative medicine has dies. Apparently, she died suddenly in her sleep last week, January 12, 2023.
According to her website: sciencebasedmedicine.org, they announced her passing. Figures she is from Washington State too.
Dr. Hall is a retired Air Force physician and flight surgeon who wrote about pseudoscience and questionable medical practices.
We at SBM are greatly saddened to announce that co-founder Dr. Harriet Hall passed away unexpectedly last night.
As managing editor of Science-Based Medicine, I am greatly saddened to have to announce to our readers that Dr. Harriet Hall passed away unexpectedly last night. Her husband informed Steve and me earlier this afternoon.Her contributions to promoting skepticism, particularly regarding dubious medicine and pseudo medical claims, are legendary, as was her pioneering role as one of the earliest female flight surgeons in the Air Force. She will be deeply missed.
I guess the SkepDoc met Dr Death. Dr. Harriet Hall passed away unexpectedly last night. Is this the Sudden Adult Death Syndrome? She really won’t be missed.

Only a time will tell about this statement. With so much of this medical maleficence and fake data. All we have to say about that is, give it 10 years. Then we will have some real numbers, bitch. Then we will know if it’s a myth or not.
“After I got over the initial shock and sadness that hit me after I learned of the unexpected death of our friend and colleague Dr. Harriet Hall last week, I must confess that, as was the case with Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin’s on-field cardiac arrest that was most likely from commotio cordis, my next thought was how long it would be before antivaxxers started blaming her unexpected passing on COVID-19 vaccines,” Gorski wrote.
We antivaxxers are just pointing out the obvious and then looking at the numbers… dipshit. Oh well, life goes on for the PURE BLOODS.
