I know that what there's a huge thing with distrust of vaccinations in no small part linked to this particular researcher (a gastroenterologist) who's findings were redacted never ever been able to be duplicated even by he himself and there were discrepancies with conflict of interest and his own "thoughtfull house freely admits there is no connection between MMR vaccines and autism" yet this things die hard. Vaccinations are free choice thing and I'm not advocating you do anything nor would a care to really debate this I don't see it as a productive conversation.

and greed cause people to make insanely stupid poor decisions "case in point epi pens" , Elizabeth Holmes and of course Perdue Pharma!

The reason I even bothered is B/C I find this quite interesting and while we have no clue how this performes in higher species let alone in humans...
I feel (not know) the potential for things like heart at disease, dementia ( more likely if caught early) and other conditions that afflict people could possibly be huge. No doubt this is years away from fruition if it ever even gets that far....
