If a substance improves some aspect of safety, no matter how narrow, this is now all that is needed to convince people to take it.

The vaccine is being pushed because it supposedly decreases the risk of COVID. Not life expectancy or any holistic measure of health, just COVID. Do you realize what this means? It means that the masses have been fooled into believing the fallacy that if a substance is shown to improve some narrow aspect of safety, this means it is a good idea to take it. Get a mastectomy because it reduces the risk of breast cancer. Eat a BigMac because it reduces the risk of anorexia.

Angelina Jolie had a preventative (double) mastectomy.

I've seen reports of women sterilizing themselves, but I can't bring myself to believe it.

There is something deeper than the simple phrase "security" going on, which doesn't convey a bed of lava-like terror motivating these self-mutilating women.

Hysterectomy is a cure for endometriosis, cancer, fibroids, even helps with migraines and can prolong life in women who had breast cancer.

It is my understanding it is difficult to find a doctor willing to perform sterilization on a healthy woman, like those who just want to be child free, even women with medical issues can have trouble getting the procedure.
