@cwebber@social.coopChristine Lemmer-Webber Unsurprisingly, looking up a couple of their first citations, they are wildly misstating the conclusions or context of the papers.

(such as, per Getahun et al., 2018, they state the risk for VTE "increases 5.1 fold after two years compared to general male population" and then you look at the paper and it's like oh, it went from 2 cases per 1000 people to around 10 per 1000 people, etc) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29987313/

(another reference literally states in the abstract that HRT is generally safe; the filing states "Testicular Cancer: Annual incidence calculated at 26.5 times higher than general population estimates in one case series", which is something the paper says, yes, but consider that out of their samples only 4 patients had any cancer growth, and that these were samples obtained through orchiectomies) https://doi.org/10.5858/arpa.2024-0218-OA

I don't have time/energy/patience to walk through more and I'm not enough of an expert in these calculations to really dig down and say whether any of these claims are outright false, but they're clearly misleading and biased. Which, no fucking surprise.
