The above was a long way of saying they have been blaming "our genetics" for things as a result of gone-wrong cancer research. They got a new toy and they need to know what it does. No problem there.
But something as obviously important was still led astray, from human biases and the ways money gets spent on health. In all the wrong ways.

At a time when endocrinologists have been channeled into something more akin to an app which won't recognize how sick we are.
From the numbers, genetics is meaningless. Not when half the senior population "must have the gene" because they aren't healthy.
