Addressing the propaganda

Women on the pill live longer: study | Reuters.

And my comment is the only one appended to the article thus far, so perhaps readership is low at this Reuters location.


Since conditions concerning safety of childbirth varies so widely over time and by location, and the formulations of the pills have varied widely over 40 years, this study is rather meaningless.

It is too bad that the majority of the adverse thrombotic events occurring in those who use the birth control pill go unreported. I’m watching from my own pharmacy practice.

Recall the HRT studies?

None of this really matters though, since we’re dealing with females, who generally accept a health-care status similar to that of livestock.
