Actually, as far as I know, this condition can be really painful (back problems especially) and also a psychological burden. So all the best to everyone who expiriences gigantomastia.
However, just imagine the positive impact if this news had been known and gone viral during COVID. Think of all the young adults wanting to try out the vaccine for themselves, influencers doing fake "I got big boobs from the vaccine" videos (and therefore advertising the vaccine), maybe even less people doing those "virus parties" that some idiots did. Kind of like the "if trees would produce wifi, they would be planted everywhere" scenario.
I mean, we don't really know, because it didn't happen, so I could be very wrong about this. But it could have been good.
Some men were avoiding the covid vaccines specifically because they believed it makes men sterile. As one of my neighbors said in reference to a family down the road who lost two adult sons (and cited sterility as the reason they didn't want to get vaccinated), "They definitely aren't having any kids now."
"dude my dick grew 4 inches longer after taking the shot!!"
I mean I'd heard about a cup gain as a potential side effect. I was sad I didn't get it and only got a covid resistance.
I wonder if they could intentionally induce mild breast growth with an mrna shot. I assume if possible it'd be risky but probably on par with boob jobs as they are now
