 I am reading this and thinking, why do people criticize him? what he chooses to do only affects himself. Are we  so sad  that we can't imagine happiness without pizza and beer? 🥦 🥕 🍅

 @ab11dda5 I think people don't have anything better to do but worrying about other people's lives. He will die... one day!

 @ab11dda5 I guess it's the fact that this might catch on and people start believing living forever is possible? Idk ahah

 @ab11dda5 he hasn't joined the ones who are injecting themselves with blood from younger people yet has he? Then all good for now.

 @ab11dda5 

Is he also avoiding SARS-CoV-2?
I suspect getting it frequently (or maybe even infrequently) will reduce lifespan significantly. Those hazard ratios for all sorts of chronic conditions don't look good.

 @ab11dda5

1. 🤔 if he succeeded at living forever that would be a terrible thing for the human species
2. I feel like people are reacting against the media attention he seeks
3. I’m convinced he’s actually also transitioning genders, to at least non binary, but hasn’t announced it 😝
