I could have been more clear, the distinction is semantic. I was referring to culling/sterilization to prevent reproduction in the sexually mature. Unborn persons are not adults, even if they will be.

Eugenics has obvious issues when applied to mature individuals or groups, but I'll need convincing that the same moral position is warranted if we're talking about cells.

>This implies that use among other groups than 15-24 year old had not fell throughout the decade.

Are the people participating in the scientific studies of the drug participating in alternative medicine?

I didn't bring up Hydroxychloroquine. My point was that it wasn't "alternative medicine" for the time it was authorized by the FDA.

>"Alternative medicine" like ivermectine or hydroxychloroquine have no scientific, properly studied basis for being used.

When a medical doctor prescribes a drug for a purpose that is currently being studied scientifically, that is not "alternative medicine". Ivermectin is still being studied. Hydroxychloroquine was emergency authorized by the FDA.

This data should reflect changes in risk to the young as the distribution of variants changed.
