   @gorskon You little morons waved your hands and declared a gene therapy perfectly safe and effective. So I’ll pass on your histrionics.

     @polarisera @gorskon medical freedom is when a cartel decides what medicine you can take (or have to take)

     "Medical freedom" does not mean what "health freedom" activists like Dr. Clayton Baker claim it means. Basically, it means the freedom for quacks and antivaxxers to prey on the public without any pesky regulation stopping them. It also means the "freedom" of quack doctors to spew their dangerous quackery without professional or government sanction under the guise of "free speech" and "debate." https://www.respectfulinsolence.com/2023/11/22/what-is-medical-freedom/
