Thoughtful piece reminding us that the science of hormones is much more nuanced and questioning the lack of evidence and inconsistency behind RFKJr and Hesgeth’s testosterone claims

Trump and Hegseth want men to take risky testosterone boosters. It’s all based on shoddy science
Hoping to win back male voters, the Trump White House is pushing the regressive idea that one hormone could be a magic elixir of masculinity

À propos of nothing, but if one were to hypothetically write a long article about me, it might behoove them not to use AI to do their "investigative journalism" and publish claims that can be refuted by simply *following the links they provide*. It would make one look very foolish indeed.

The more I think about this as I wake up this morning, the more I realize that journos covering this story should probably include the fact that a doctor local to this synagogue received an antisemitic COVID conspiracist death threat about 6 months after this shooter left the army.

My article this week will be a beefy one. How the hell did an anti-parasitic drug once wrongly positioned as our COVID saviour become the chemotherapy of the anti-woke? Luckily, I'm friends with a student who's doing a Ph.D. on ivermectin's anti-tumour potential. The full story on Friday!
