For those reading, comments are an unreliable proxy for politicised topics such as this. As such, if you want to be certain about what your beliefs are (as opposed to blindly inheriting the opinions held by your bubble), always go to the original sources.

For those who wish to validate the claims of my original comment and that of the person replying me, you can check out sources outside of the US, especially Sweden and the UK (i.e. The Cass Report, Hannah Barnes of the BBC), and comments by progenitors of Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM).

A good place to start is an investigative feature published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ): https://www.bmj.com/content/380/bmj.p382
