Um, like women…who famously were not included in clinical trials til about yesterday (ok I exaggerate). And kids. And just look at what we’re belatedly learning about medical devices and tests, that do not take into account skin color (the pulse ox!), genetic differences, etc.

I read somewhere that while males in US & Europe make up only 12% of the world population… so 88% is unstudied. In the US, we are witnessing an explosion of maternal mortality especially in black women due to the lack of data. Now, it will be the suppression of data. Willful suppression of data.

As a woman with thyroid cancer (for a second time) I am all about trying new/other medicines besides chemo to see if it will cure my cancer. DIVERSITY In CLINICAL TRIALS are NEEDED. We all may be human, but our bodies are so uniquely individual that a "one size fits all" just doesn't work for health

The hatefulness is staggering.

I was told in nursing school (1970s) that most drugs were tested on college-aged males. It was how they made extra money for school. Eg- blood pressure medication was tested on young men who didn’t have high blood pressure.

The racism and sexism is so blatant they might as well be announcing it directly: "We hate everyone who is not a White male Christian".

Leave Christ out of it.

Would you substitute Allah or Shiva or Buddha?

These people are in no way Christian.
