I think the biggest cause was actually not groundbreaking stuff, but our understanding of microorganisms and our changes in hygiene (all summarized in better education).
Vaccines. Antibiotics. Cardiac drugs.
All now no longer researched.
The reality of living over 100 is that most of the studies on ageing are just poorly done. Epidemiologists are a meme to the biomedical research community. These are the clowns that triggered the Mediterrean diet, the Okinowa diet, etc. without validating the ages of the people being studied. A decade later: people live longer in regions of Greece or Italy because of familes engaged in pension fraud, and Japanese longetivity was tied to poor record restoration by the US army. One guy figured out people >100 in Japan somehow were born on the 1st or 15th of every month.

WE WILL BUILD VINDALOO FACTORIES IN NORTH CAROLINA Y’ALL.
They would get cancer much sooner in life. The timing of cells dying from telomere shortening overlaps with the timing of DNA mutations that trigger tumors. In other words, humans have a set lifespan that balances cell death with cancer onset. In mice, they live longer and age slower, but mice are a poor model for human ageing.
one poorly analysed underpowered data study is not “strong evidence”. We have had cars, with tires and brake dust for 100 years.
Scientists really would prefer Linux to stay in the nerd realm.
The real damage here is not RFK as much as Trump ending NIH funding. And there is little/no public outcry. 5 years from now, there will be no new drugs (pharma does not actually do basic drug research any more).
She actually renounced her stand on autism and vaccines. however, I can feel that the return of Andrew Wakefield is imminent. He’s dating Elle MacPherson.
if you call mumbling lines acting.
