Why is a news article about a 44 year old drug on Hacker News?

As far as I can tell this isn't about tech, tech policy, a new medication, a new discovery about an old medication, science, etc. Seems like its just fodder for a political debate that is unrelated to this site.

Instead of politicizing HN, why don't you just toot this to your echo chamber on Mastodon?

Probably because this case can have a lot of impact on HN readers lives. But I agree with you it's definitely out of scope, and seems to have been flagged already.

This is a trend I’ve noticed that’s increasing. It suggests HN audience is changing as it grows.
