Basically, your whole position is the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. The proof that the sides are actually worse is out there somewhere but no one can find it because MERCK IS HIDING THE TRUTH GARBLE GARBLE. But in the meantime, here's a "study" that makes a bunch of allusions without any evidence of their own or any conclusive findings.
You are a moron, that's just a fact. I've often wondered what it is about you anti-finasteride crusaders that makes you spend all this time and energy going after something that no one forced you to take. Is there something comforting about falsely believing that the side effects for a drug are higher than advertised so that you don't feel as though you're in the tiny minority? What's the end game for you guys? A lawsuit? Banning the drug?
Lol you can keep calling people a moron all you want and take cheap shots like that instead of actually working on your reading comprehension skills and addressing arguments. But if you want to be taken seriously, I advise you give up such an immature tactic.
And if you’re gonna try to summarize my position at least get it f*****g right. But since you obviously have difficulty understanding my position, I’ll break it down into simple form.
My claim: The safety profile has not been assessed accurately and therefore I cannot support the claim that side effects only occur for 1-5% of men.
Support:
-The studIES (plural not singular) I have linked
-History, we’ve seen this happen before
-Anecdoctal reports
-I’m a med student who majored in cell biology but did research on cellular pathways so I have a very good understanding of how hormones and cell signaling pathways can be stupid complicated and lead to crazy unexpected effects.
-As a Med Student I’ve spoken to 8 endocrinologists (shadowed 5, 2 in my family, 1 is my cousin’s good friend) and all of them told me they advise against using Finasteride for hair loss
-I even shadowed a dermatologist and asked about the drug and the controversy and he said “from my experience it’s higher than Merck claims but I don’t think it’s over 20%. Still prescribe it, don’t think permanent sides are possible”
I am not claiming side effects occur at a higher rate, I am saying that I reject your claim it is a small minority because I have read MULTIPLE studies that support my claim which again is: FINASTERIDE HAS A SAFETY PROFILE BASED ON FLAWED STUDIES.
AND I NEVER EVEN SAID IM f*****g ANTI finasteride. I literally have recommended a couple of my friends to try propecia and just discontinue if they get sides.
So Jesus f*****g Christ, learn to read and stop assuming my position because it fits your narrative of “people who dont think the same way as I do are morons”
News flash, if you’re consistently calling people morons, you’re probably projecting and should consider if maybe you need to fix your own self esteem.
