- Reposted by Andrea Tilstra“Historically, no one lived past age 35” "I’ve heard *so* many versions of this claim, including recently from a menopause doctor (implying menopause is not “natural” because noone lived long enough to go through it). Every time someone states this “fact,” a demographer loses a piece of their soul"

It is insidious. It will initially target only the most vulnerable — people who probably aren't like you.
