The intellectual Noam Chomsky, 95, left the São Paulo hospital this Tuesday, where he was admitted after suffering a stroke a year ago, to continue treatment at home. “Beneficência Portuguesa de São Paulo informs that the patient Avram Noam Chomsky was discharged from the hospital this Tuesday to continue treatment at home,” says the official medical report of the medical center, which clarifies the state of health of Chomsky, a linguist and one of the leading intellectuals of the American and world left. The medical report is signed by the executive director of the center and a cardiologist.
Chomsky is in Brazil because it is the native country of his wife, the linguist Valeria Wasseran. Just a few days ago, Folha de S. Paulo published that the influential thinker was hospitalized in a medical center in São Paulo, where the couple owns a home.
The official medical report comes after a few hours full of confusion after some media published that Chomsky had died. The supposed news spread at full speed until it became a trend on the X network. His wife has denied that Chomsky has died in response to queries from several people, including Steven Pinker. “Reports about Noam Chomsky’s death (in the now-deleted Jacobin and New Statesman) were greatly exaggerated. I have confirmation from Valeria, his wife, that he is alive and well,” the cognitive scientist has written in X.
