But also, you know, uh a a registry allows us to study some of the long-term both benefits and risks.
Um let me, you know, here's one of my concerns, Jason, about risk is that
You know, I'm not, you know, my my understanding of some of these risk factors for brain science is that from a lot of spheres, whether brain injury is um concussion or brain trauma, you know, you think about like chronic traumatic encephalopathy in NFL players, you know, whether it is like, you know, maybe even psychosocial.
Trauma, like, you know, post-traumatic stress disorder.
Um, or even we know from some of the science, like we know, like I mean, I was taught years ago that when you do MRIs on just regular people and you see these little mini strokes that right now have no clinically meaningful impact that we can measure, they do over time.
So one of my worries here is like we say like, okay, well, it caused a little bit of brain swelling, you know, it caused a teeny bleed in the brain, maybe it was asymptomatic.
Don't worry, your pretty little heads over these problems.

That, you know, that the minority inclusion was not nearly adequate, but at least it was there and taken seriously.
It shows that we have a long, long way to go to make this right.
But at least, you know, there was some effort at minority inclusion.
At least there was some effort in it.
I I I actually wish they didn't have the age cut off at 90.
There was no reason for that, but okay, they at least went to 90.
So, you know, there they at least included people who are very old.
