It was just a pure flatline.

So one of the fun things with the meta-analysis is that it's a garbage in, garbage out kind of a thing.

You can feed it garbage, but your meta-analysis is not going to turn this garbage into something beautiful.

You can repeat the wrong thing

many times in completely different samples and get the same wrong results in every single sample.

like taking off my epidemiologist hat and just, you know, as a person hat, like blame is damaging.

It's harmful.

Like, and it doesn't exactly help.

People might be blaming themselves for like that one random Tylenol they took when, you know, they were pregnant 10 years ago.

And, you know, if we can help, you know, take away some of that guilt that's there, I think that's nice because people shouldn't be feeling guilty about these things in the past.
