He's saying that homeopathy is not directly lethal when applied by someone who knows what they're doing.

There was a case recently where a woman was doing unlicensed "plastic surgery" by pumping rubber cement into incisions in people's butts. Her absolute incompetence can't be reasonably used as a critique against the plastic surgery industry.

There are plenty of perfectly good data points to use against homeopathy practitioners. This case is definitely not one of them.
