In a unilateral declaration by the health secretary, several injections promoted by online influencers will become widely available. The F.D.A. had advised against the move.
Social Darwinism might be bad at a policy level but I can’t say I’ll cry too hard about this one.

This allows access through compounding pharmacies, which is safer than buying from overseas vendors, but the peptides themselves remain medically unproven and globally unapproved. No major health authority has approved these peptides for human use. They remain experimental research chemicals worldwide.
I wonder, do prions count as peptides…? 🤔
Can I put some in a tacticool camo print 5-Hour Energy bottle and sell it at Bucc-E’s?

“No don’t take those experimental mRNA vaccines under development for 30+ years and already undergoing human trials, they’re dangerous and experimental!!!”
“The guy with a brain worm who eats roadkill says its safe to inject this substance”
Please Santa I’ve been a good boy this year can you please have the next deadly recall be for these and wipe out MAGA manosphere looksmaxxers?
Wait until RFK Jr is told most vaccines are based on peptides.
It’s even objectively stupider than them opposing mRNA vaccines; in addition, these fucking morons oppose things even decades older with proven efficacy and a track record of basically wiping out measles.
Well, until all these asshole “influencers” started their anti-vaxx campaigns in the 90s…
Also:
As unapproved injections, the peptides would not have fundamental agency safeguards in place, such as the type of safety review that flagged thalidomide, a drug that caused devastating birth defects in Europe but was not approved as a morning sickness remedy by a careful F.D.A. reviewer.
JFC.
Most of the people taking them get really upset when you explain how broad “peptides” are, and what they’re actually doing is hormone therapy to make their physical body identify math their mental perception of who they are…
They’re not transitioning, but they’re still undergoing gender affirming hormone therapy.
Body dysmorphic disorder doesn’t have to have a gender dysphoria component.
Gender affirming care does not require gender dysphoria.
Viagra and Cialis are medicines in support gender affirming care. Gynecomastia is performed for men who were amab all the time. Laser hair removal, penile implants, breast augmentation, birth control, rhinoplasty…
All gender affirming care that does not require gender dysphoria to be gender affirming care.
It does if you’re going by the WHO definition.
Gender-affirming care, as defined by the World Health Organization, includes a range of social, psychological, behavioral, and medical interventions designed to support and affirm an individual’s gender identity when it differs from the sex they were assigned at birth.
All of the things you listed have nothing to do with gender affirmation.
Physical symptoms, body distress, or hormonal imbalances can still occur in cis people, caused by medical conditions (endocrine disorders, PCOS, gynecomastia, or body dysmorphia), and not gender dysphoria.
It’s not gender affirming care either.
Having physically presenting breasts as a male when amab (gynecomastia) addressed by male breast reduction surgery is a pretty easy example of how it is gender affirming care.
Medical organizations, legal courts, and bioethicists define gender-affirming care as any healthcare intervention that aligns a person’s physical body and expression with their internal gender identity.
It absolutely is gender affirming care. Ask a medical provider if you need help understanding this.
No one implied it did…
Or didn’t…
No one even brought up gender dysphoria or body dysmorphic disorder…
Did you mean to reply to someone else? Because there’s a weird trend of people doing what you just did and claiming I said wild shit I clearly didn’t.
Like, my comment is right there…

You called it gender affirming care. That implies gender dysphoria
You called it gender affirming care
Yes…
That implies gender dysphoria
No.
Really not complicated
It does by definition.
Gender-affirming care, as defined by the World Health Organization, includes a range of social, psychological, behavioral, and medical interventions designed to support and affirm an individual’s gender identity when it differs from the sex they were assigned at birth.
It’s really not complicated. Hormones being involved don’t inherently make it gender affirming care.
So…
When the medical community called any form of lgbtq a mental illness…
You agreed with them?
Because they’re doctors?
Just blind obedience and zero thinking on your own behalf?
That must be so relaxing …
And how much science did RFK jr do on this?
Joe Rogan 6 months from now:
I’m having difficulty discerning the lower anatomy
So is he.
Jesus
Fucking
ChristEven now, under this insanity, I never expected legal, untested gas station injectables from china
That is a genuinely bad idea. It’s so bad I’m actually impressed, because the only people who will suffer are the ones willing to pay for these treatments. So I feel conflicted.
I bet they contain parts of dicks or semen. Fking Kennedy, loves a good cock, no matter the species
Does indeed contain peptides
Any idiot that does inject themselves with these substances is just proving Darwinism and evolution. While I disagree with the decision, I don’t hate the culling it may bring.
Peptides are from China 🤡
The problem is not that they can’t work; some do. It’s that an uregulated supply chain for an injectable with no requirement to demonstrate safety or effectiveness is a recipe for a mix of dangerous products and snake oil
They are claiming that RFK’s move here is addressing the “unregulated supply chain” aspect of this problem, but certainly the “no requirement to demonstrate safety or effectiveness” thing is still a problem.
