Given all the potential money, if they are issues, I expect it to go down like tobacco companies back in the days actively suppressing undesirable research by harassing researchers, influencing peer review journals or/and funding research casting doubt on the benefits of this drug. Chances are that any negative effects won't be obvious until it's too late. Look at microplastics, they have been around for just over a century and it's only now that we are starting to realize that they have several negative effects.


I agree. I think it's unlikely that negative effects can go unnoticed for very long, but in the short term I'm only like 97% sure we're getting the full story.

That said, it's probably certain enough for me to be open enough to using them now, if my doctor recommends it.
