Ah yes "settled science" like the sun orbiting the earth in Galileo's time.
Like thalidomide being "safe" back during its use.
Like lobotomies being "humane" when it won a Nobel Prize.
Apt example given RFK Jr's aunt was lobotomised.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosemary_Kennedy
"Robert F." being RFK Sr, who was assassinated in 1968 when RFK Jr was 14, 5 years after JFK who was assassinated in 1963.
Kennedy family doesn't have a pleasant history.
She died in 2005 at the age of 86, having spent 63 years 'incapacitated'.
That's inhumane torture -- being forced to exist within a shell and not have your right mind or any way out of it. Pure hell.
Oh, but it is settled science. How dare you question that!
These people are evil, the same people who back then were pushing lobotomies are NOW pushing kids mutilating themselves forever. Hopefully, in 10-20 years time you will hear constantly about the abuse these people have suffered at the hands of doctors and parents who pushed them into sterilisation.
Or more recently- oxycontin being “less addictive”
or bextra/vioxx/fenfen being safe.
