Was Steve Jobs the smartest man in America, or the stupidest man ever in silicon valley?

Hello:

Steve Jobs died of eminently treatable cancer..  But, instead of treating it, he drank herbal tea and meditated..  Of course, he died a HORRIBLE death.  And, the most horrible part, is that he did that to himself.

Kinda like people who don't wanna wear masks or get vaccinated..  Say hi to Steve for me.

    He did it his way.  I have nothing to say about that.

    Not apples to apples comparison.  

    Covid is not deadly for most people.  Under 1% for those under 65yrs old. 

    Cancer is 100% deadly without treatment. But you should not get treatment unless you have it of course.

    Some cancers are caused by viruses....

    That virus is not transmitted through the air or on surfaces.  Try again.

    Some of the viruses and bacterial infections that cause cancer are indeed spread through air and on surfaces.    The cancer itself is not infectious but if the person still has the virus/baceria they can spread it and potentially cause another person to develop cancer.

    And you believe that's the same thing as how easily the Covid-19 and the Delta variant are transmitted?

    If Steve Jobs chose not to be treated for his cancer, the only person's health it affected was his own.  He couldn't transmit that cancer to anyone else.  That's the difference between him not doing something to mitigate his condition and the dolts who refuse to mask up and/or get vaccinated - they put the health of others at risk, including their own families.  But, hey, who am I to decide how the herd is culled.
