On some thread we were talking about how early diagnosis is a life saver and companies like Prenuvo are doing something nice.
He was 100% opposed, tried to be smaht by arguing something like more screening = more false positives and he came to the dumbest conclusion that no one should do tests until they have symptoms or something, lmao.
I'm stopping before clicking onto the 2nd Google search page.
So, like, two things here.
First: all that happened here is: I read a lot of stuff about this, and "don't get a full body scan" is a super common message actual experts deliver. I remembered, and repeated it on a thread.
Second: how weird is it that you somehow remembered some otherwise-long-forgotten slapfight thread and brought it up unbidden like this? You should charge me rent if I'm going to live in your brain like this.
