    I first heard about this about 10+ years ago. Still nothing on the market. I don’t think it will ever happen. Oppression of women is too important

      Huh, I had the reverse reaction–I heard about this 10+ years ago and I’m glad to finally be hearing something about it again, because it seemed like it had fallen off the planet for a while there. Human trials in the US is a huge leap forward.

      Oh wild, my next thought was “now we just need someone to get that ‘bionic’ lens replacement thing I heard about around the same time and then never again,” and I looked it up and there’s a report from them from this month about an upcoming human trial. That’s a lot worse than finding out the trials of the RISUG thing have been running for two years now, but it’s still pretty exciting. I probably won’t be able to afford it, though. https://ocumetics.com/message-from-ceo-april-2025/

      Buddy they’re in human trials with the FDA to bring a male pill to the market, and this startup is selling an injection. Idk what you’re on about.

        Buddy, Vasagel was announced in 2011 and has since not released anything to market. It’s been literal decades with nothing on RISUG actually being viable.

          One company failed to bring an announced product to market, must be discrimination! The lack of results is proof that they’re not trying to solve the problem! Investors are committing capital in 3 different companies to fake interest in the idea in order to continue to oppress women!


          Neglect of research into women’s healthcare is real, we don’t need to invent bogeymen where there isn’t one.

            Okay, apparently in your world simply pointing out that research was started over a decade ago with no tangible results is oppressing women.

            Well good luck with your leaps in logic they and your persecution complex.

              What? The guy I replied to said “oh where are the products on market, I guess oppressing women is too important”. That was literally the point of my comment was how absurdist of a take that was for the same reason you just said.
