Large studies & meta-analyses show no causal link once genetics are controlled.
Facts > fear. Even AI (OpenEvidence) confirms it.

Just your average doctor… but in space.
AI beamed me aboard the Enterprise…
Exploring strange new worlds, seeking out new life—and making sure it’s medically stable.

Stepped into the Wild West with a little help from AI—turns out I was making house calls before it was cool (and before cars, phones, or modern anesthesia).
