That's an interesting website, but I don't see 'facts' relating to scientific medicine, which is what I compared 'psychic' reading with. There is a group of pages headed 'Medical' there, which is a bit misleading, since it describes pseudo-scientific or unscientific medicine, alternative medicine, unless I've misunderstood you or the site. It seems to be a sceptic site listing some of the harm done by alternative medicine, magical thinking, conspiracy theories and including 'psychics'. To support the claim that "medical damages [as I meant them - ones based on mainstream scientifically verified medicine] and non-physical harms [ones caused by psuedo-science and woo] are comparable since their fatality are equally proven by facts" we would have to gather some facts about the medical damages.
I'm sure we'll find some, and it would be quite easy to conclude the balance went one way or the other - interestingly - without doing some scientific comparison! Or we could ask a psychic which won I suppose and base our reality on that!
