#1 Pneumonia!?!! For some reason I'm reminded of about 20 years ago when straight people began dying from AIDs (from blood transfusions and such), the claim was usually that "they died of pneumonia". Seems odd for the guy to die in the hospital of a lung infection at 50.

#2 Not if its contracted in the hospital. MSM does a better job of covering up the death rate in our hospitals caused by mistakes and infections than they did on the Edwards extra curriculum activities. It's real hard to scream quagmire with every death in Iraq or Afghanistan when x10 more die because of those problems in hospitals.

#5 Lots of people die every year in the US from pneumonia. Sometimes the patient doesn't get treatment fast enough and thinks its just the flu.

In cases where it leads to blood poisoning, over 20% of sufferers will die.
